A Texas-based conservative activist has sparked controversy after sharing a social media post that framed a prominent Hindu temple in Frisco as evidence of what he described as a cultural “invasion” driven by the H-1B visa programme. The post, which circulated widely on X over the past few days, used inflammatory language to criticise Indian immigration and questioned why demographic changes were occurring in Texas.
The post was shared by Carlos Turcios, a Republican activist based in the Dallas–Fort Worth region. Alongside a promotional video of the Karya Siddhi Hanuman Temple, Turcios claimed that “third world aliens” were entering the US through H-1B visas and said that Frisco had been “invaded”. His remarks drew support from some anti-immigration users while others criticised the post as racist and misleading.
