Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis halts H-1B visa use at state universities
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just dropped a bombshell that has the academic world buzzing. On Wednesday, he declared a full stop to the H-1B visa program at the state’s public universities, arguing it’s time to put Floridians first, as Breitbart reports.This move is a bold jab at a system many conservatives see as prioritizing foreign workers over homegrown talent.
At its core, DeSantis’s directive to the Florida Board of Governors is a push to end the practice of hiring foreign nationals through H-1B visas for roles at public universities, claiming it sidelines local and American workers.
Standing at the University of Florida -- where over 150 staff members currently hold H-1B visas, more than any other state institution -- DeSantis made his case loud and clear. He’s not just suggesting a tweak; he’s demanding a complete overhaul of hiring practices.
Recent audits brought some of these hires into sharp focus, particularly the involvement of Chinese nationals in public policy discussions at Florida universities. It’s not hard to see why this might raise a few red flags for those worried about national interests and classroom influence. DeSantis seems to think it’s a risk not worth taking.
The governor’s stance is clear: H-1B visas shouldn’t be a default for filling university positions when Floridians are ready and willing to work. It’s a call to action for administrators to prioritize local talent over international hires.

It's so true that here in Florida and probably many universities across the country they hire all these foreign hire professors that then have so many insecurity issues with their English language and their accents and they can't spell in English and then they cause so many problems at universities and students don't like them because they don't understand them or don't understand their accents and their culture and then they hate our students they hate American-born students and they cause so many problems at the universities it's like at Florida Atlantic University they have that one Professor from Sri Lanka who pushes all her multiculturalism and woke ideology and then she says that her goal is to dismantle white privilege she's a very racist professor and those are the types of foreign hire professors we have at our universities here in the United States now professors who hate American-born students and who really mistreat other American-born professors in this country it's really sad to see but it's happening a lot in Florida and in the United States and I'm glad that Governor DeSantis is cracking down on it we need to put Americans first and American-born professors first over all these foreign hire professors who are insecure, racist, and full of hate toward Americans.
