🔗 Share this article Trump's Organization Sought to Hire Nearly 200 Workers on Work Permits in 2025 The former president’s family business increased its recruitment of overseas employees on temporary visas this period, while his administration was creating barriers for other companies wanting to do the same, a report released Thursday claimed. According to data from the US Department of Labor, the Trump Organization aimed to hire at least 184 foreign workers in the coming year for temporary positions at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort, golf facilities and his winery in Virginia. The quantity of applications for temporary work visas covering staff including servers, clerks, housekeepers, kitchen staff and agricultural laborers was the record filed by the organization, and up from 121 in the previous term, when Trump’s first term concluded. It was also the fifth instance in 10 years that Trump had sought to bring in over a hundred overseas workers for temporary positions at his Florida resort, according to available data. The revelation comes amid a tightening on immigration laws by his administration that has involved the implementation of a $100,000 fee on H1-B visas; increased review of the activities of the millions of people who possess US visas; and tighter regulations for international scholars and journalists. Overall, the business aimed to employ over 560 foreign laborers over the period the former president has been in the presidency, from 2017 to 2021 and during the upcoming year. Significantly, the former president was criticized by certain in the GOP this period for comments justifying the need for overseas employees when a company was unable to find people with “specific talents” to fill particular roles. “You cannot just say a country is entering, going to spend $10bn to build a facility, and going to recruit individuals off an jobless roster who have been unemployed in years, and they’re going to start producing their defense systems. It doesn’t work that well,” he told a host after it was implied that foreign workers undercut the wages of US workers. The White House refused a inquiry for response, and the business did not immediately respond to an inquiry.
