Texas politicians slammed for using tragic Austin shooting to attack H-1B visa workers, ‘Suspect was a US citizen’

The Hindu American Foundation has condemned Texas politicians for associating the latest shooting in Austin with immigration and skilled worker visas (H-1B), calling the response “absurd political theater.” After a tragic shooting in Austin, Texas, where Ndiaga Diagne killed two people, Texas GOP lawmakers demanded stricter immigration controls. (Getty Images via AFP) In a statement on X, the advocacy organization countered efforts to link the incident to the H-1B visa program, clarifying that the perpetrator was not a visa holder but rather a long-established American citizen. “Texas politicians are blaming H-1B visas for the Austin shooting. The suspect was a U.S. citizen, long settled in the country, not some foreign worker on a visa,” the Hindu American Foundation stated. “Using a tragedy to attack skilled immigrants? That’s not policy. That’s absurd political theater. Please. Make it make sense,” it added. Also Read: Kristi Noem’s husband Bryon vs Corey Lewandowski: Who is richer?
