'Blaming H-1Bs when suspect was US citizen': Hindu American group slams Texas politicians for linking Austin shooting to immigrants
Politicians exploiting a tragedy to scapegoat immigrants is a serious abuse of power.
The Hindu American Foundation criticized Texas politicians for linking the recent Austin shooting to immigration and H-1B visas, stating that the gunman was a U.S. citizen who had been lawfully residing in the country since 2006. The group condemned attempts to use the tragedy as an attack on skilled immigrants, calling it "absurd political theater." Texas Republicans, however, pushed for sweeping immigration restrictions, including halting H-1B visa issuance, citing national security concerns and a need for better vetting of individuals entering the country.
