'They came here, had babies': Texas gov called out for H-1B crackdown; reminded he praised Indian investment in 2024

US podcaster and influencer Kyle Seraphin called out Texas Governor Greg Abbott for his H-1B crackdown in Texas, not because he does not support it but as it does not serve the purpose now. Seraphin said it is too late and too little to freeze H-1B hiring in state agencies and universities after what Abbott did in 2024. H-1Bs came to Texas, set up shop, had babies and took over neighborhoods, Kyle said targeting Indians -- though H-1Bs can be from any countries.

"I was wondering why Texas imported so many Indians. This makes more sense. Gov Abbott just froze new H1Bs in Texas... too late. They came here, set up shop, had babies, took over neighborhoods, and brought whatever their culture is with them," Seraphin posted, reminding Abbott of his 2024 visit to India funded by Texas Economic Development Corporation.
