🔗 Share this article Trump Business Sought to Hire Almost 200 Employees on Visas in 2025 The former president’s family business accelerated its hiring of foreign workers on short-term work permits this year, while his administration was placing obstacles for other businesses attempting to do the identical, an analysis published recently stated. 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 temporary positions at the US president’s Florida property, two golf clubs and his Virginia winery. The number of requests for H-2A and H-2B visas covering staff including servers, clerks, housekeepers, culinary employees and agricultural laborers was the record filed by the company, and increased from 121 in 2021, when his presidency ended. It was also the fifth time in a decade that the former president had attempted to bring in over a hundred foreign employees for temporary positions at Mar-a-Lago, according to labor statistics. The revelation comes amid a tightening on immigration laws by his administration that has involved the introduction of a $100,000 fee on skilled worker visas; extra scrutiny of the activities of the 55 million people who already hold American work permits; and restrictive new rules for international scholars and journalists. Overall, the business sought to hire 566 foreign laborers over the period the former president has been in the presidency, from 2017 to 2021 and during the upcoming year. Significantly, Trump was criticized by certain in the Republican party this period for remarks justifying the necessity for foreign workers when a business was unable to find people with “specific talents” to occupy certain positions. “You can’t just say a country is entering, going to spend $10bn to construct a plant, and going to take people off an jobless roster who haven’t worked in five years, and they’re going to start producing their missiles. It doesn’t work that effectively,” he stated to a interviewer after she suggested that foreign workers undercut the wages of American employees. The White House declined a inquiry for response, and the Trump Organization did not provide an answer to an request for information.
