advice to downplay the National Question on the campaign trail against

| Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis denounced Congress's H-1B visa program for
| undercutting white-collar wages and displacing American graduates.
|
| In a fast-paced August 14 interview with CNBC, DeSantis was asked:
|
|| You get a lot of questions about immigration, particularly at
|| the border. I know you've covered that extensively in an interview
|| recently with my colleague ... at MSNBC. So I'll ask about H-1B
|| visas. Would you support allowing more H-1B visa immigration to the
|| United States? I'm sure a lot of counties, say like rural Florida.
|| would love to have a qualified doctor, no matter where that doctor
|| is from.
|
| DeSantis answered:
|
|| Yeah, but the problem is the way that has been implemented. They
|| will bring in people -- in technology -- from other countries who
|| work for lower rates than what Americans worked for. And so I don't
|| support undercutting American wages, and the H-1B program has been
|| used to do that.
||
|| I used to kind of when people would say, 'Hey, why not just have
|| people that are credentialed?' And I'm like, "Yeah, yeah, why not? "
|| But the way it's been operated, I think, has lowered wages for
|| Americans and that's what you don't want.
||
|| If it's an addition for the economy that benefits the American
|| people, that's one thing. But if it's displacing an American worker,
|| that's not good.
|
| DeSantis's new statement may be intended to shore up his sagging
| poll numbers among GOP voters with college degrees.
|
| In 2020, deputies for then-President Donald Trump processed several
| rules to protect Americans from H-1B replacements, but those
| protections were wiped away by President Joe Biden.

Will Miriam Adelson, Robert Bigelow, Betsy DeVos, Ken Griffin, Julia
Koch, Bernie Marcus, Lachlan Murdoch, David Sacks and Steve Wynn give
DeSantis permission to warn legacy American proles that Trump will
betray them with "merit-based" immigration reform?
