H-1B visas banned at Florida universities, Governor DeSantis says ‘won’t tolerate abuse’

Florida came down heavily against H-1B visa holders on Wednesday — with Governor Ron DeSantis state universities from employing them.

“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,” an official statement quoted him as saying.
