According to information from the federal labor department, the Trump Organization aimed to bring in at least 184 overseas employees in 2025 for temporary positions at the US president’s Mar-a-Lago resort, golf facilities and his Virginia winery. The quantity of applications for temporary work visas covering workers including waitstaff, clerks, cleaning staff, culinary employees and farm workers 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 time in 10 years that the former president had sought to bring in more than 100 foreign employees for seasonal jobs at Mar-a-Lago, based on available data. The disclosure coincides with a tightening on immigration laws by his administration that has involved the implementation of a $100,000 fee on skilled worker visas; increased review of the actions of the millions of people who already hold American work permits; and restrictive new rules for international scholars and journalists.

It doesn’t work that well,” he stated to a host after she suggested that overseas employees lower the wages of US workers.
