🔗 Share this article Trump Organization Attempted to Bring In Nearly 200 Employees on Visas in 2025 The former president’s corporate entity accelerated its recruitment of overseas employees on temporary visas this year, even as his government was placing obstacles for other companies attempting to do the same, an analysis published Thursday stated. According to data from the federal labor department, the business aimed to hire at least nearly 200 foreign workers in the coming year for short-term roles at the US president’s Florida property, golf facilities and his Virginia winery. The number of requests for H-2A and H-2B visas covering staff including servers, clerks, cleaning staff, culinary employees and farm workers was the highest ever submitted by the company, and up from over 120 in 2021, when Trump’s first term concluded. It was also the fifth instance in a decade that Trump had sought to bring in over a hundred foreign employees for seasonal jobs at his Florida resort, based on labor statistics. The disclosure comes amid a crackdown on legal immigration by his government that has involved the implementation of a $100,000 fee on skilled worker visas; increased review of the actions of the millions of people who already hold American work permits; and restrictive new rules for international scholars and journalists. In total, the business aimed to hire over 560 foreign laborers over the five years Trump has been in the White House, from his first term and during the upcoming year. Significantly, the former president was criticized by certain in the Republican party this period for remarks justifying the need for foreign workers when a business was unable to find people with “particular skills” to occupy particular roles. “You can’t just say a country is entering, going to invest $10bn to construct a facility, and going to take people off an unemployment line who haven’t worked in years, and they’re going to start producing their defense systems. It doesn’t work that effectively,” he stated to a host after it was implied that foreign workers undercut the pay of US workers. The White House declined a inquiry for response, and the Trump Organization did not provide an answer to an inquiry.
