Donald Trump is reportedly hiring foreign workers to staff his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla., again this winter.

According to the Palm Beach Post, the president-elect is paying some of the winter workers less than they made last year; most get an approximate 1 percent raise.

Trump won approval to hire 64 foreign workers through the federal government's H-2B visa program, the Post reported. He hired 69 workers through the same program last year.

The Post reported Trump will hire 19 cooks at $12.74 an hour, down from $13.01 an hour last year.

The club will hire 30 waiters and waitresses at $11.13 an hour, a 14-cent increase from last year, and 15 housekeepers at $10.17 an hour, a 10-cent increase from last year. 

Trump, who built his campaign on hardline immigration policies, faced criticism during the presidential campaign for hiring foreign workers for seasonal jobs at the Florida club.
