Trump's Organization Attempted to Bring In Almost 200 Employees on Visas in 2025

The former president’s corporate entity accelerated its hiring of overseas employees on temporary visas this period, even as his government was placing obstacles for other businesses wanting to do the same, an analysis published recently claimed.

According to information from the federal labor department, the business sought to hire at least 184 overseas employees in the coming year 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 waitstaff, clerks, cleaning staff, kitchen staff and farm workers was the record submitted by the organization, and up from 121 in 2021, when Trump’s first term concluded.

It was also the fifth time in a decade that Trump had attempted to hire 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 included the introduction of a substantial charge on H1-B visas; extra scrutiny of the actions of the millions of people who already hold US visas; and restrictive new rules for international scholars and journalists.

In total, the business sought to employ 566 overseas workers over the five years Trump has been in the White House, from 2017 to 2021 and during 2025.

Notably, Trump was questioned by certain in the GOP this period for comments defending the necessity for foreign workers when a company was unable to find people with “particular skills” to fill certain positions.

“You can’t just say a nation is coming in, going to spend billions to build a plant, and going to take people off an jobless roster who have been unemployed in years, and they’re going to start producing their missiles. It isn’t feasible that effectively,” he stated to a host after it was implied that foreign workers lower the wages of American employees.

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