H-1B visa hiring banned in Florida: Setback for immigrants as Ron DeSantis urges state universities to hire Americans

In a big setback for immigrants, Florida has banned H-1B visa hiring as Governor Ron DeSantis urged state universities to hire Americans.

“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,” Governor Ron DeSantis stated.
