From The Hill: The Trump Organization requested 184 foreign workers to work across various company properties, a record number that has increased over the years.
The company sought to hire workers through H-2A and H-2B visas for temporary positions at Mar-a-Lago, two golf clubs and at Trump Vineyard Estates in Charlottesville, Va., according to data from the Department of Labor.
Over the course of Trump’s first term and the first nine months of his second term, the Trump Organization’s visa requests increased from 121 in 2021 to 184 in 2025, according to Forbes. Overall, the company has filed to hire 566 foreign laborers to work as servers, farm workers, kitchen staff, clerks and housekeepers, primarily.
For the H-2A and H-2B visa programs, businesses need the Department of Labor’s approval before petitioning the Department of Homeland Security. After that, the Department of State issues the visas.
President Donald Trump was hit with major backlash from conservatives this week, over comments he made in support of H-1B visas.
In an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Trump said there weren’t enough talented people in the U.S. to do certain jobs, and defended bringing in foreign labor to train Americans.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sparked more backlash, as he said, “We haven’t built ships, semiconductors for years in the US. Overseas partners come in, teach American workers? That’s a home-run.”
