Indians are coming in with fake credentials as software engineers and driving Americans out of jobs. There is no comparison. Scammers can&#8217;t understand that there are people who come here legally and do the right thing. <!-- -->Epic levels of launch.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>The post went viral and faced backlash, including from an NRI user named Priya, who responded by pushing for normalization and sharing data about the contributions of the Indian American community.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>She wrote, &#8220;Most Indian immigrants are legal. You don&#8217;t do any research except posting lies and hate. I like Hispanics, they are nice, nothing against them, I just don&#8217;t like you.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Priya also shared statistics showing economic and educational outcomes among Indian Americans, with figures showing that the median household income is approximately $100,500 and nearly 70% have at least a bachelor&#8217;s degree, compared to the US average of 28%.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Gonzales responded by dismissing the criticism and doubling down on his stance. She replied: \u201cDon&#8217;t be intellectually dishonest, Priya. Most Indian immigrants are abusing and exploiting the legal immigration system. <!-- -->That&#8217;s the whole point.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>In a separate comment, he said, &#8220;I was born and brought up here. This is my country.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>The online exchange is the latest in a series of posts by Gonzales that have garnered attention in recent months, particularly around alleged abuses of H-1B visas and immigration pathways. He recently claimed that the US Department of Justice (DOJ) fined a company, Compunnel, $313,000 after it allegedly posted a job listing specifying &#8220;H-1B visas only.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>A video of Gonzales, recorded at his Dallas food truck, Golconda Express, has also gone viral, where he interrogated a man whom he claimed was working under an H-1B visa while operating a business under his wife&#8217;s name. The clip was titled &#8220;H-1B Busted Running a Food Truck.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>In addition to immigration, Gonzales has faced opposition on other positions. In one message, she described visiting a park in Plano, Texas, with her five-year-old son and wrote that she was surrounded by people speaking &#8220;many foreign languages&#8221;, adding: &#8220;This is my hometown. <!-- -->It is unrecognizable. I want my country back,\u201d a comment that drew accusations of xenophobia, racism.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>His recent posts and public exchanges come against the backdrop of growing Indian migration to parts of Texas, including cities like Plano and Frisco, where the Indian population has grown significantly over the past decade. A 2025 Pew Research Center study estimated that about 570,000 Indians live in Texas.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sara Gonzales at TPUSA event &#8221; decoding=&#8221;async&#8221; fetchpriority=&#8221;high&#8221;\/> Sara Gonzalez at TPUSA event An exchange onThe controversy began when Gonzales posted a message comparing his family&#8217;s military service to the presence of Indian workers in the US tech sector.He wrote: &#8220;My grandfather received a Purple Heart award for his military service in World War II.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":98221,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[1758,25589,991,992,6244,2218,6614,9774,1467,4571],"class_list":{"0":"post-98220","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bible-news","8":"tag-americans","9":"tag-commenter","10":"tag-dont","11":"tag-indianamerican","12":"tag-indians","13":"tag-jobs","14":"tag-maga","15":"tag-putting","16":"tag-research","17":"tag-responds"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98220","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98220"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98220\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":98222,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98220\/revisions\/98222"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/98221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98220"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98220"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
