Senator Eric Schmitt who is a staunch critic of the H-1B visa and the OPT (Optional Practical Training) targeted India's Chilkoor Balaji temple in his latest tirade against visa fraud and said American workers should not have to compete against a system this gamed that has a cartel and a temple. Indians pushed back on the hate and condemned Senator Schmitt for calling a temple a part of a game while devotees just pray for their US visa at the famed temple near Hyderabad.
Schmitt's latest jibe drew on several resources: GB News' documentary on H-1B, a Chinese-American professor's lawsuit against Texas' Southern Methodist University alleging that the Indian-origin head of department only favors Indians for tenure etc.
