Trump's Business Sought to Hire Almost 200 Employees on Visas in 2025
Donald Trump’s family business increased its recruitment of foreign workers on short-term work permits this period, even as his government was placing obstacles for other businesses attempting to do the identical, a report released recently stated.
According to data from the federal labor department, the business sought to bring in at least 184 foreign workers in the coming year for short-term roles at the former president’s Florida property, two golf clubs and his Virginia winery.
The quantity of applications for temporary work visas for staff including waitstaff, clerks, housekeepers, culinary employees and agricultural laborers was the record filed by the organization, and up from over 120 in the previous term, when his presidency ended.
It was also the fifth instance in 10 years that Trump had attempted to bring in over a hundred overseas workers for seasonal jobs at Mar-a-Lago, according to labor statistics.
The disclosure comes amid a tightening on immigration laws by his administration that has involved the implementation of a substantial charge on skilled worker visas; extra scrutiny of the actions of the millions of people who already hold US visas; and restrictive new rules for international scholars and reporters.
Overall, the Trump Organization aimed to hire 566 foreign laborers over the period Trump has been in the White House, from his first term and during the upcoming year.
Significantly, the former president was criticized by some in the GOP this period for remarks defending the need for overseas employees when a company was unable to find people with “particular skills” to fill certain positions.
“You cannot just say a country is entering, going to invest $10bn to construct a facility, and going to take people off an jobless roster who have been unemployed in five years, and they’re going to start producing their defense systems. It isn’t feasible that effectively,” he stated to a host after she suggested that overseas employees lower the wages of US workers.
The White House refused a inquiry for response, and the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to an inquiry.
