Fishback, a fourth-generation Floridian who founded Azoria Capital, says his father’s tree-cutting business of 20 years was destroyed when Haitians surged into the Sunshine State and flooded the cheap labor market following the catastrophic 2010 earthquake.
“Most conservatives would agree that we don’t want a mass influx or invasion of any kind, whether it is illegal or — perhaps even worse — if it’s legal,” Fishback told Border Hawk.
“If you drop off 10 million Somalians… in the middle of Georgia and they’re ‘legal,’ does that make it any better? In fact, it might make it worse because those who are legal get instant work authorization and are eligible for federal benefits like SNAP, WIC, and welfare.”
Fishback believes government “has an obligation to step in” when free market policies are being abused by corporations chasing profits at the expense of American workers.
“You have an obligation to Americans, and especially an obligation to Americans who are literally being discriminated against, never being offered so much as a job interview, never being offered the opportunity to even prove themselves, but instead replaced with cheap, foreign slave labor,” he said.
Fishback pointed out that H-1B visa approvals are roughly matching or outpacing the current rate of deportations, which is cause for concern.
“In net terms, we actually are bringing in more people in any given day than we were the prior,” he asserted.
Fishback hopes to expand on Gov. Ron DeSantis’ efforts to crack down on illegal immigration in Florida by incentivizing sheriff’s departments with monetary rewards for apprehensions and subsequent deportations.
He also pointed out that classrooms across the state are packed with students who speak little to no English.
In 1982, the Supreme Court ruled in Plyler v. Doe that a state cannot prevent children of “undocumented immigrants” from attending public school unless a substantial state interest is involved.
If elected governor, Fishback hopes to challenge that ruling and “overturn it for the entire country. Florida is a beautiful place to do it.”
“We’re going to be checking the citizenship of every single student. If you cannot, as a parent, prove that your child is legally supposed to be in this country, they are going to be unenrolled from the school in question,” he said.
“If you get rid of the free childcare that hundreds of thousands of people are taking advantage of in our state, which is the education system… and begin to pull back those benefits, we’re creating an active disincentive that says, ‘You know what, we’re going to suck you dry.’”
Fishback believes globalists have unleashed relentless waves of Third World migrants into the U.S. and other Western nations due to a “deep-seated contempt for the heritage of America, for our identity, for our culture.”
“They would much rather this be an economic zone with a very pliable, malleable group of people, as opposed to people who actually have an identity, have a heritage, and have allegiance to something bigger than another free trade area.”
