As many Indian-Americans claimed that Republicans lost the election of Senate District 9 in Texas because of their growing hatred against Indians and Hindus, Florida Republican leader Chandler Langevin said this should be all the more reason to deport every Indian in Texas. "If Republicans lost a special election because of an Indian voting bloc…then they have all the more reason to deport every Indian in Texas," Langevin said.
In the past few weeks, North Texas has emerged as a seat of India-hatred pushed by politicians, American influencers, and social media commentators. While influencers claimed Texas has become a new place culturally after 'Indian takeover', social media commentators said Texas jobs are going to Indians, prompting Texas Governor Greg Abbott to announce an H-1B freeze in hiring in state agencies and universities. Texas AG Ken Paxton announced an investigation into three Indian firms that hired H-1B employees in past, asking them to furnish details of each of the employees. A major gold scam involving many Indians and Indian jewelry stores has also been busted in Texas.
