Trump Business Sought to Bring In Nearly 200 Employees on Work Permits in 2025
The former president’s corporate entity accelerated its hiring of overseas employees on short-term work permits this period, even as his administration was placing obstacles for other companies wanting to do the same, an analysis released recently stated.
Based on data from the US Department of Labor, the business sought to bring in at least 184 foreign workers in 2025 for temporary positions at the former president’s Florida property, golf facilities and his winery in Virginia.
The number of requests for temporary work visas for workers including servers, clerks, cleaning staff, kitchen staff and farm workers was the highest ever submitted by the organization, and increased from 121 in the previous term, when Trump’s first term concluded.
It was also the fifth instance in a decade that the former president had attempted to hire more than 100 overseas workers for temporary positions at his Florida resort, based on available data.
The revelation coincides with a crackdown on legal immigration by his government that has included the introduction of a substantial charge on skilled worker visas; extra scrutiny of the actions of the millions of people who already hold US visas; and tighter regulations for foreign students and reporters.
Overall, the business aimed to employ over 560 foreign laborers over the period the former president has been in the presidency, from 2017 to 2021 and during the upcoming year.
Notably, the former president was questioned by certain in the Republican party this period for comments defending the necessity for foreign workers when a company was unable to find people with “particular skills” to occupy certain positions.
“You cannot just say a nation is coming in, going to invest billions to construct a facility, and going to recruit individuals off an unemployment line who haven’t worked in years, and they’re going to start making their defense systems. It doesn’t work that effectively,” he stated to a host after it was implied that foreign workers undercut the wages of American employees.
The White House refused a inquiry for response, and the Trump Organization did not provide an answer to an request for information.
