Donald Trump’s corporate entity accelerated its hiring of overseas employees on temporary visas this period, even as his administration was creating barriers for other companies attempting to do the identical, an analysis released Thursday stated.
Based on information from the federal labor department, the business aimed to bring in at least nearly 200 overseas employees in the coming year for temporary positions at the US president’s Mar-a-Lago resort, golf facilities and his winery in Virginia.
The number of requests for H-2A and H-2B visas for staff including servers, clerks, cleaning staff, culinary employees and farm workers was the record submitted by the organization, and up from 121 in 2021, when his presidency ended.
It was also the fifth time in 10 years that the former president had sought to hire over a hundred foreign employees for temporary positions at his Florida resort, based on available data.
The revelation comes amid a tightening on legal immigration by his administration that has involved the introduction of a substantial charge on H1-B visas; increased review of the actions of the 55 million people who already hold US visas; and restrictive new rules for foreign students and journalists.
In total, the business sought to employ over 560 overseas workers over the five years Trump has been in the White House, from 2017 to 2021 and during 2025.
Notably, the former president was questioned by certain in the GOP this period for remarks defending the need for overseas employees when a business was unable to find people with “particular skills” to occupy particular roles.
“You cannot just say a nation is coming in, going to invest $10bn to construct a facility, and going to take people off an jobless roster who haven’t worked in years, and they’re going to start making their defense systems. It doesn’t work that effectively,” he stated to a interviewer after it was implied that foreign workers undercut the pay of US workers.
The White House refused a inquiry for comment, and the Trump Organization did not provide an answer to an request for information.
