Indian-American Congressman Shri Thanedar Faces MAGA Racism amid H-1B Visa Row | Firstpost America

Indian American congressman Shri Thanedar has strongly condemned the growing Hinduphobia and racism in the United States. This comes after Thanedar, who represents Michigan's 13th congressional district as a Democrat, himself became a target of hateful comments for supporting the H-1B visa programme. Thanedar voiced his support for the visa system and advocated for increasing legal migration in the US to maintain the nation's competitive edge in innovation. Thanedar, who was born in India’s southern state of Karnataka, added that as an immigrant himself, the H-1B visa is close to his heart. However, in response to these remarks, Thanedar was subjected to xenophobic and racist comments on social media, with some users asking him to return to India on a one-way flight to Mumbai.
