The H-1B program is a scam. Ron DeSantis: ‘Companies lay off Americans while bringing in new H-1Bs. It’s not the best and brightest—it’s a cottage industry, mostly from one country. With AI displacing young workers, why import more foreign labor instead of protecting our own?’

@GovRonDeSantis You need to go North of Atlanta and see how bad it affects cities. Entire schools are filled with more foreigners than Americans, they raise housing prices, don't assimilate and they have their kids here.

@GovRonDeSantis Someone needs to sit down with Trump and remind him that we elected him to be a voice for us (the common citizen). He has completely gone off track and is hurting Americans with this student visa crap, and his ignoring H-1Bs.

@GovRonDeSantis @IngrahamAngle and @GovRonDeSantis are absolutely right, H1-B visa is a scam and corporate welfare at the expense of Americans, it’s been going on for over 30years @howardlutnick

@GovRonDeSantis The program has had a massive negative impact on housing affordability for locals in small towns H-1B workers were imported at very high rates last year and are heavily concentrated in certain metros. Demographics flipped overnight and housing costs went way up

@GovRonDeSantis He’s correct. We need to stop H-1B visas.

@GovRonDeSantis A small percent of H1B is the "best and brightest". They use these few examples to justify the program. The vast majority of H1B is cheap labor to replace American workers.

H-1Bs aren’t a skills gap solution—they’ve gutted opportunities for well-qualified Americans. Until this program is reined in, U.S. workers will keep getting sidelined in their own country. If Trump truly wants to make America great again, he must put American workers first.

@GovRonDeSantis yes, the H1B visa scam… where America invites the brightest minds from abroad, makes them build Silicon Valley, and then complains that immigrants ‘stole’ the jobs they were hired for. Genius hustle—by the US, not the immigrants. 🙃” Hope you get end it😀

@GovRonDeSantis Please replay the testimony from the former Disney employees who had to train their H-1B replacements. Maybe now someone will listen and end all these worker visa programs. All it did was stagnate wages for decades.

@GovRonDeSantis The state of Florida has 500 each H1Bs on payroll. Start there. Show America how it’s done. Audit. Published the jobs online to expose the thousands of candidates that really exist. And clean house at home. The American economy is on the line. 80% of H1Bs never vote Republican.

@GovRonDeSantis H-1B is a scam way past its expiration date. Gross. Throw it out.

@GovRonDeSantis Labor arbitrage has no limiting principle except slavery and many guest worker programs are trending to forced labor.

@GovRonDeSantis @GovRonDeSantis as usual you will need to take lead on this. Please ban all H1-B employees from Florida government jobs or any contracting companies with state of Florida. Once you set the example, other states will follow.

@GovRonDeSantis @GovRonDeSantis gets it. The H1B replacement of American workers by grifting Indians and Chinese is the hill to die on. Shame on @potus for continuing to screw our workers and NOW our students. @StephenM

You should get a recruiter on your show to explain to the audience how colleges created this mess with their lack of training for all the enterprise applications companies use. Tens of millions of people that came here and filled the best paying jobs n the world. I bet it's a trillion dollars of wealth...colleges fuked us.

Trump admin's "America First" H-1B "reform" is billionaire bribery disguised as patriotism. They'll deport your valedictorian but roll red carpets for oligarchs' wire transfers. The Gold Card scheme (8/26/25) lets $5M investors skip the line while gutting visas for skilled workers. Commerce Sec admits prioritizing high rollers: "Why pick $66k immigrants?" Meanwhile, USCIS's 8/8/25 rule strands H-1B kids aging out of status as Microsoft lays off 9k Americans. Corporate job postings still route to immigration loopholes. This isn't protectionism—it's class warfare on global scale.

Thank you for pushing so hard on this critical issue. DeSantis wants the WH one day. If he picks up this cause, no one will remember James Bowman.

@GovRonDeSantis Apparently Americans don't know how to answer a phone for customer service because it seems that whenever I call a company's customer service number the person on the other end has an Indian accent.

@GovRonDeSantis companies are now taking those H1B hiring them to work out of new offices in India. Also hiring new employees to replace existing employees there instead of US. Trump needs to tariff US companies labor cost as well to disincentivize this behavior
