A heated online debate broke out between Nalin Haley, son of Republican leader Nikki Haley, and journalist Mehdi Hasan over US immigration. Nalin called for an end to mass immigration and tighter H-1B visa rules, citing job losses and AI’s impact. Hasan responded by pointing out that Nalin’s grandfather, Ajit Singh Randhawa, had migrated from India in 1969 and built a respected academic career. Nalin fired back, suggesting Hasan should be “denaturalised.” The exchange sparked criticism on social media, with users reminding Nalin of his family’s immigrant past. The debate highlights ongoing tensions over immigration in US politics. (PC: India Today)
