Here are the key takeaways from James Fishback’s interview in The American Conservative:
- America is “full” — overwhelmed by post-COVID migrants from places like New York and Third World immigrants who refuse to assimilate, learn English, contribute, or integrate into society.
- Both illegal and certain legal immigration (like Haitians with temporary protected status in Springfield or post-2021 Afghan refugees) amounts to an “invasion” that imports foreign populations, grants them welfare and work authorization, and replaces American workers.
- The current influx violates the social contract between government and citizens by prioritizing outsiders over Americans in jobs, benefits, and resources.
- Mass deportations are supported by public mandate, starting with criminals and illegals but extending to those who breach the contract through lack of assimilation.
- State-level economic deterrents, such as barring companies that hire H-1B visa workers from receiving taxpayer-funded contracts, can protect Florida jobs for qualified locals.
- A federal and state-level immigration moratorium is urgently needed to pause new entries until existing immigrants fully assimilate.
- Florida’s anti-BDS laws selectively censor criticism of Israel while allowing it for other governments — Fishback pledges to revoke them to restore equal free speech protections.
- The state should divest $385 million in Israeli government bonds from pension funds and redirect those resources to benefit Americans, such as down payment assistance for young married couples.
- Prioritizing foreign lobbies like AIPAC or foreign governments over American citizens undermines true “America First” principles.
