Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ABOLISHES H-1B VISAS from being used at state universities

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Wednesday that he won’t tolerate H1-B visa “abuse” in the state’s universities and ordered the Florida Board of Governors to “end this practice.”

“Universities across the country are importing foreign workers on H-1B visas instead of hiring Americans who are qualified and available to do the job. We will not tolerate H-1B abuse in Florida institutions. That’s why I have directed the Florida Board of Governors to end this practice,” DeSantis wrote on X.

“Florida leads the nation in higher education, and thousands of highly qualified Americans graduate from our colleges and universities every year. If any universities are truly struggling to find U.S. citizens to fill their job openings, they ought to evaluate their academic programs to determine why they cannot produce graduates who can be hired for these positions,” he added.
