Trump's Organization Attempted to Bring In Nearly 200 Employees on Work Permits in 2025
The former president’s family business increased its recruitment of foreign workers on temporary visas this year, even as his government was placing obstacles for other businesses wanting to do the identical, a report published recently claimed.
Based on data from the US Department of Labor, the Trump Organization aimed to bring in at least nearly 200 foreign workers in 2025 for short-term roles at the US president’s Florida property, two golf clubs and his winery in Virginia.
The quantity of applications for temporary work visas covering workers including servers, clerks, cleaning staff, culinary employees and agricultural laborers was the record filed by the company, and increased from 121 in the previous term, when Trump’s first term ended.
It was also the fifth time in a decade that Trump had sought to bring in over a hundred foreign employees for temporary positions at his Florida resort, according to labor statistics.
The revelation coincides with a tightening on immigration laws 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 restrictive new rules for foreign students and reporters.
Overall, the business sought to employ 566 foreign laborers over the five years the former president has been in the White House, from 2017 to 2021 and during the upcoming year.
Significantly, the former president was criticized by certain in the GOP this week for remarks defending the necessity for foreign workers when a company was unable to find people with “specific talents” to occupy particular roles.
“You can’t just say a country 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 producing their missiles. It doesn’t work that well,” he stated to a host after she suggested that foreign workers undercut the wages of American employees.
The White House refused a inquiry for response, and the business did not immediately respond to an request for information.
