James Fishback, running to succeed Ron DeSantis as Florida’s next Republican Governor, said if he is elected, he will "fire every H-1B [visa holder] working at a state agency". "[I will] cancel state contracts with companies that employ H-1Bs instead of qualified Floridians…will incentivise companies to hire Americans again," he added. "We need to deport…illegals…[and] H-1Bs," Fishback had said.
