As Trump Defends Foreign Workers, His Company Sought Record Number In 2025
Forbes ^ | November 12, 2025 | Zach Everson

The Trump Organization sought to bring in at least 184 foreign workers in 2025 for temporary positions at Mar-a-Lago, two golf clubs and a Virginia winery through H-2A and H-2B visas, according to data from the Department of Labor.

The company’s visa requests have risen steadily in recent years, from 121 in 2021 to a record 184 in 2025.

During Trump’s five years in office, the Trump Organization filed to bring in at least 566 foreign workers.

The jobs—primarily servers, clerks, housekeepers, kitchen staff and farm workers—pay between $15.58 and $27.91 an hour, per Department of Labor listings.

Spokespeople for the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to inquiries, while the White House would not comment.

Big Number

2,033: The total number of foreign workers the Trump Organization has sought to hire since 2008, the earliest year for which data is posted on the Labor Department’s website.

News Peg

Trump said Tuesday on Fox News’s “The Ingraham Angle” that H-1B visas—which, unlike those his businesses use, target highly skilled workers in specialized fields such as engineering, accounting and the arts—were necessary to bring workers with “certain talents” to the United States. In September, Trump imposed a $100,000 payment on many H-1B visa petitions.

Crucial Quote

“If you want to raise wages for American workers, you can’t flood the country with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of foreign workers,” host Laura Ingraham said during the interview.

I met Malcom socially. An odd character, to put it mildly.

I’m aware of the change of ownership of the magazine. Notwithstanding, facts is facts.

No— their facts are constructs with no relevance, presented as one more propaganda BS hit on our President, and they are majorly invalid. The point of my post.
There are much larger orgs doing a hell of a lot more in the illegal Norte Americano project, and continuing the relationship of trafficking with the Cartels. They were and are aided in that endeavour by the Bushies— who oddly still think they are relevant. Like the people on FR who thought and think Dick Cheney was some kind of genius for being the robotic mind behind the Iraq wars. Too bad General Schwartzkopf is no longer around to detail yet again what this micro mind was about, aided by Colin Powell, the great White Hope.

“No— their facts are constructs with no relevance.”

Calling a fact a “construct” sounds like the kind the gibberish that would appear in a freshman writing composition.

That President Trump’s company hired immigrants by the bushelful is not NOT a fact. It’s merely a fact you consider to be politically incorrect.

Nothing in the lives of Powell, Schwarzkopf, Cheney, or the Bushes has a bearing on the hiring practices of the Trump Organization.
