Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has called the H-1B visa system a “total scam”, claiming it mostly benefits Indians. Speaking to Fox News, he argued that US companies misuse the program to replace American workers with cheaper foreign labor. DeSantis said many firms lay off Americans while renewing H-1B visas, calling it “indentured servitude” that Indians exploit. He urged immigration policies that prioritize US citizens, stressing, “Why import workers when we have our own?” His remarks follow US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s announcement of a new “gold card” system, offering residency to foreigners investing $5 million in America.
