Texas has become the epicentre of the anti-immigrant fire raging through the United States of America. From influencers to local residents, many have been expressing concerns around immigration policies and the perceived impact of H-1B visa programmes on American jobs and communities. In some instances, this sentiment has extended to criticism of Indian-American communities and, in certain cases, targeted scrutiny.
Recently, Turning Point USA correspondent Savannah Hernandez shared a video on X (formerly Twitter) where she went inside the Karya Siddhi Hanuman temple in Frisco, Texas. "I kept hearing about how massive the Indian population is in North Texas so I went to go check it out for myself. Found a 72-foot tall Hindu temple, built in honour of a monkey-god, where inside people were praying for blessings for “job visas”" she wrote in the caption.
