Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., speaks at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Tuesday, July 16, 2024
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose state largely was impacted only nominally by Democrat and Democrat Socialist gains in the 2026 midterms, says the problem was that Republican senators wouldn’t act.
He specifically cited their refusal to address concerns about the H-1B visa program. That was set up ostensibly to allow foreign workers into the U.S. if there was no one available domestically with a particular expertise.
In reality it is a pathway for huge corporations to hire tens of thousands of foreigners to work at lower wages and replace American workers.
DeSantis, in an interview with Laura Ingraham, said Americans were frustrated with the lack of work by Republican senators.
“Why haven’t we done immigration?” DeSantis demanded. “Shut off H-1B visas?”
“Why haven’t we codified Trumps immigration executive orders? Why haven’t we stripped jurisdiction of federal courts over deportations?”
He said, “There are so many things that could have been done.”
He said the midterms were a rebuke by voters on both sides of the aisle to Congress and the president.
He said Republicans, especially in the Senate, never showed any interest in doing great things for conservatives.
Social media was aflame with criticism about the lack of work on related issues, including the H-1B visa schemes that have been used to cost tens of thousands of Americans their jobs. Sometimes they have been forced by employers to train their foreign, and lower-cost, replacements.
BREAKING: Rochester General Hospital in New York hired 82 resident doctors. 80 are foreign workers on H-1B or J-1 visas. Only 2 are Americans. 98% of the residency slots went to visa workers- mostly from countries with documented USMLE cheating. Americans got 2 jobs.

So true. Is there any reason why H4 EAD work visa( H1B spouse) was not ended? This visa was never approved by congress yet 600,000 Americans lost jobs to it. Hope they end H4 EAD immediately and give recent grads their first jobs.

Greg Abbott BEGGED tech companies to relocate to Texas and then helped them bring their H-1B foreign employees with them. In Sugar Land, Texas, a 90-foot-tall statue of the Hindu god Hanuman was built. It is the tallest statue in Texas and the fourth tallest in the United States. Elected Republicans in Texas deserve to lose. Serves them right.

JUST IN: Effective immediately the Trump administration has hereby SUSPENDED ADOBE, MICROSOFT, Cognizant, Tata, Infosys, Wipro, HCL, and Capgemini from the Permanent Labor Certification Program They undercut American workers. THEY FAFO’D THIS. IS. MASSIVE. “Since 2009, just these companies alone have requested almost 3 million foreign workers. They’ve received over 230,000 H1B visas approvals and over 100,000 permanent labor certifications.” “That’s hundreds of thousands of jobs that were taken from American workers!” The age of AMERICA FIRST is ALIVE AND WELL right now A flurry of companies, including some of the biggest outsourcing giants on the planet. Tata, Infosys, Wipro, and HCL have been H1B pipelines for YEARS Without PERM, they can’t sponsor foreign workers for green cards. The path to keep them here for good is SHUT! Vance, Stephen Miller, and IG D’Esposito are delivering exactly what Trump promised in 2024! HIRE AMERICAN, IT IS THAT SIMPLE

The H-1B visa program is being used by U.S. companies to force Americans to train their cheaper foreign replacements. Our video exposes how the program was designed to help companies AVOID hiring Americans.
