Trump Business Sought to Bring In Almost 200 Workers on Visas in 2025
The former president’s corporate entity increased its hiring of overseas employees on temporary visas this year, while his government was creating barriers for other companies attempting to do the identical, a report published recently stated.
According to data from the federal labor department, the Trump Organization aimed to hire at least nearly 200 overseas employees in the coming year for short-term roles at the former president’s Florida property, golf facilities and his winery in Virginia.
The quantity of requests for temporary work visas for staff including servers, clerks, housekeepers, kitchen staff and farm workers was the record filed by the organization, and increased from 121 in 2021, when his presidency concluded.
It was also the fifth instance in 10 years that the former president had attempted to bring in more than 100 overseas workers for seasonal jobs at his Florida resort, according to labor statistics.
The revelation coincides with a crackdown on immigration laws by his government that has involved the introduction of a $100,000 fee on skilled worker visas; extra scrutiny of the actions of the 55 million people who already hold American work permits; and restrictive new rules for international scholars and journalists.
In total, the business sought to employ over 560 overseas workers over the period Trump has been in the White House, from 2017 to 2021 and during the upcoming year.
Significantly, Trump was criticized by certain in the Republican party this period for comments justifying the need for foreign workers when a company was unable to find people with “specific talents” to fill particular roles.
“You cannot just say a country is coming in, going to spend billions to build a plant, and going to take people off an jobless roster who haven’t worked in years, and they’re going to start producing their defense systems. It doesn’t work that effectively,” he told a host after she suggested that foreign workers undercut the pay of American employees.
The administration declined a request for response, and the Trump Organization did not provide an answer to an request for information.
