Being American means nothing: Standing in front of a Hindu temple, MAGA influencer slams children of H-1B visa holders ahead of July 4

A prominent MAGA influencer sparked controversy by standing in front of a Hindu temple and attacking children of H-1B visa holders, declaring that 'being American means nothing.' The remarks came just days before the July 4 holiday.

The influencer, known for his far-right political commentary, targeted the children of skilled foreign workers who come to the United States on H-1B visas. He argued that these children do not deserve the same rights or recognition as other Americans.

The video, filmed outside a Hindu temple, drew immediate backlash from community leaders and immigration advocates. Critics accused the influencer of promoting xenophobia and divisive rhetoric during a time meant to celebrate national unity.

The H-1B visa program allows U.S. companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. Children of H-1B holders often grow up in the United States and may later seek permanent residency or citizenship.
