Trump's Business Attempted to Hire Nearly 200 Workers on Work Permits in 2025

Donald Trump’s corporate entity accelerated its recruitment of foreign workers on temporary visas this period, even as his administration was creating barriers for other businesses attempting to do the identical, a report released recently claimed.

According to data from the federal labor department, the business aimed to hire at least nearly 200 overseas employees in 2025 for temporary positions at the former president’s Florida property, golf facilities and his winery in Virginia.

The number of applications for temporary work visas covering staff including servers, office assistants, housekeepers, kitchen staff and agricultural laborers was the record filed by the organization, and up from over 120 in the previous term, when his presidency concluded.

It was also the fifth instance in 10 years that Trump had attempted to hire more than 100 foreign employees for temporary positions at Mar-a-Lago, according to labor statistics.

The disclosure coincides with a crackdown on legal immigration by his government that has involved the implementation of a substantial charge on H1-B visas; extra scrutiny of the activities of the millions of people who already hold American work permits; and tighter regulations for international scholars and journalists.

In total, the Trump Organization aimed to hire over 560 overseas workers over the period the former president has been in the White House, from his first term and during the upcoming year.

Significantly, Trump was questioned by some in the GOP this period for remarks defending the need for foreign workers when a business was unable to find people with “specific talents” to fill particular roles.

“You can’t just say a nation is entering, going to invest billions to build a facility, and going to recruit individuals off an jobless roster who have been unemployed in five years, and they’re going to start producing their missiles. It doesn’t work that effectively,” he stated to a interviewer after it was implied that overseas employees undercut the wages of American employees.

The administration refused a inquiry for response, and the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to an request for information.
