US Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi has criticised a debate on Indian immigration, describing it as “racist, xenophobic, and fundamentally un-American”. The Illinois Democrat said Indian Americans are as American as any other citizens and should not be treated as outsiders because of their ancestry. The controversy followed a podcast episode titled “The Indian Question”, released on September 26, which discussed Indian immigration, H-1B visas, cultural integration and American identity. The debate comes amid growing tensions over skilled-worker visas and concerns about jobs. A recent report also found a sharp rise in anti-South Asian hate speech on social media in the United States.
