Florida Firestorm Over ‘America Is Full’ Agenda

As Trump’s second term slams the brakes on Biden‑era open borders, Florida’s “America Is Full” candidate James Fishback is betting that voters are ready to demand even tougher immigration limits at home.

Story Snapshot

James Fishback is running for Florida governor on an “America Is Full” platform built around a complete immigration moratorium and mass deportations.
His hard‑line stance goes beyond most Florida Republicans, targeting illegal immigration, H‑1B visas, and DEI policies that squeezed middle‑class families under Biden.
Trump’s national crackdown on the border and foreign labor has shifted the ground, but Florida’s GOP primary will test how far voters want to go.
Fishback’s plan to redirect state dollars from foreign causes back to young Florida families taps deep frustration over housing, wages, and cultural change.

Fishback’s ‘America Is Full’ Message in a Post‑Biden Era

James Fishback’s “America Is Full” slogan lands in a country that has already watched President Trump restore border control after years of Biden‑era chaos. Trump’s second term has brought near‑record reductions in illegal crossings and aggressive enforcement that finally put American workers and communities back at the center of immigration policy. Against that backdrop, Fishback is telling Florida Republicans that even Trump’s national course correction is only a starting point, not the finish line, for serious reform.

For frustrated conservatives, his pitch taps into something very real: people watched inflation erode paychecks, saw housing costs explode, and felt their neighborhoods and schools change while Washington lectured them about “equity” and “inclusion.” Fishback argues that Florida’s own political class has been too willing to ride that wave of growth and globalism, welcoming foreign capital and new arrivals while long‑time Floridians get priced out of starter homes and pushed to the margins of their own state.

Immigration Moratorium, H‑1B Crackdown, and the Labor Squeeze

At the core of Fishback’s platform is a simple promise: stop importing foreign labor until working‑class and middle‑class Americans have a fair shot again. He calls for a full immigration moratorium, an end to H‑1B visas, and mass deportations of illegal immigrants who broke the law to get here. For readers who watched wages stagnate while corporations chased cheaper workers, his message echoes Trump’s national insistence that benefit programs, jobs, and security must serve citizens first.

Trump’s second‑term actions have already tightened the flow of migrants and clamped down on abuse of federal benefits by illegal aliens, reversing much of the Biden administration’s permissive posture. But Fishback is making the case that in places like Florida, where housing is scarce and infrastructure strained, simply slowing the flow is not enough. His argument is that the state must draw a hard line: protect water, roads, schools, and law enforcement resources for Floridians who played by the rules, paid taxes, and raised families here for decades.

Taking on DEI, Global Capital, and the Florida GOP Establishment

Fishback’s background in finance and his anti‑DEI investing give him another angle that resonates with conservatives tired of woke capital. He built his Azoria fund around companies that reject DEI orthodoxy, aligning with Trump’s push to end federal DEI mandates and root them out of agencies and contractors. That experience now underpins his claim that Florida must stop bending the knee to multinational corporations, tech giants, and Wall Street money that want cheap labor, lax borders, and endless subsidies.

Inside the Florida GOP, that stance puts him on a collision course with better‑known figures like Congressman Byron Donalds. Fishback is openly positioning himself to the right of those Republicans, accusing them of talking a good game about America First while staying comfortable with H‑1B pipelines, corporate donor demands, and business‑as‑usual development. For grassroots voters who feel sold out by career politicians, his willingness to name names may be as attractive as his policy details.

Redirecting Money Back to Florida Families and Homes

Beyond immigration, Fishback is channeling anger over how government spends hard‑earned taxpayer dollars. He is promising to end Florida’s unique state‑level financial commitments to Israel and instead channel that money into down‑payment assistance for young married couples buying their first home. Whether readers agree with touching that funding or not, the structure of the proposal speaks directly to a nagging question: why are families who followed the rules still locked out of home ownership in the state they grew up in?

Fishback pairs that idea with calls to abolish property taxes on Florida homesteads and push back on massive AI data centers and multinational‑driven developments that stress power grids and water supplies. To conservatives weary of bureaucratic overreach and globalist mega‑projects, the theme is clear: the state should stop functioning as a playground for corporations and foreign buyers and return to its original purpose of protecting the lives, liberty, and property of Florida citizens first.

What Florida’s Governor’s Race Means for Conservatives Nationwide

The coming Florida governor’s primary is shaping up as a referendum on how hard the right should push now that Trump has returned to the White House and slammed the door on Biden’s open‑border legacy. Fishback wants to move the Overton window even further, testing whether GOP voters will back a full immigration freeze, wholesale H‑1B shutdown, and aggressive deportations at the state level. For conservatives across the country, the outcome will signal just how ready the base is to go beyond Trump’s federal victories.
