No. But our DOGE audits of our state universities uncovered misuse of H1B visas. So we are taking action.

Do you think Florida runs the H-1B program?

Disney firing all of their IT was the thing that opened my eyes to the absolute treachery of H1B abuse and offshoring. Never forget that betrayal and keep fighting for American workers @RonDeSantis ! Thank you!!!

@grok is this true that Disney fired all their IT h1b employees
No, Disney did not fire H-1B IT employees. In 2015, the company laid off around 250 American IT workers at its Florida operations. Those U.S. employees had to train their lower-cost H-1B visa replacements from outsourcing firms before departing. This case exposed H-1B misuse, prioritizing cheap foreign labor over American jobs.

***Yes, in 2015, Disney laid off about 250 American IT workers in Florida and required them to train their H-1B visa replacements from outsourcing firms like Tata and Cognizant, who offered lower wages. This wasn't firing H-1B holders but displacing U.S. employees with cheaper foreign labor under the visa program. It highlighted systemic H-1B abuse, sparking backlash and lawsuits against Disney for prioritizing cost over loyalty to American talent.

Disney offshored a lot of IT to Capgemini, particularly in India.
That’s when I started my Disney boycott. Despicable.

Wasn't Mike Lee supporting this back then?

My brother worked for Hawaiian Airlines' IT back in the late 2000s, they outsourced his whole department to overseas Indian based IT with a handful of on-site H1Bs. He had to train his replacements to get his severance.

A lot of Gen X CS/SAN employees had their jobs taken by foreign workers that they do not have retirement or emergency funds. Hope the government understands that 3 generations (late boomers, gen X, and some Y) are impacted significantly.
And notice what Congress did after Disney to protect Americans: Absolutely nothing.

Americans shouldn't have to compete with the rest of the world to secure American jobs. Americans shouldn't have to compete with the rest of the world to secure a home in America for their family. No one should have to compete with the rest of the world just to find a job or a home in their own country. Period.

That and giving Melania Trump one when she was a model. Right? That had to be up there in abuse of its law. Correct. Of course.

DeSantis enabled what Disney did in 2015 when he was a congressman!
Please boycott Disney. What a despicable company.
