The Trump Organization just set a new record for foreign worker visa requests, asking to bring in 184 people to staff its various properties this year. This record number is a massive jump, and it certainly raises some eyebrows when you consider the president’s strong “America First” commitment to prioritizing domestic labor.
The company is seeking to hire these employees through the H-2A and H-2B visa programs, which are designated for temporary positions. According to data released by the Department of Labor and found by The Hill, these workers are needed at high-profile locations like Mar-a-Lago, two different golf clubs, and the Trump Vineyard Estates in Charlottesville, Virginia. The positions needing to be filled include essential service roles like servers, farm workers, kitchen staff, housekeepers, and clerks.
