Collin, Dallas, not Calcutta, Delhi…: Texas candidate’s poll promise is to deport H-1Bs, ‘assimilate rest’

Collin, Dallas, not Calcutta, Delhi...: Texas candidate's poll promise is to deport H-1Bs, 'assimilate rest'

A Republican eying the Attorney General post in Texas said he would make sure, as the AG, that Texas does not turn into either India or Pakistan. Aaron Reitz said he will roll back the cheap labor H-1B scam and will also hold companies that hire them accountable. Texas houses a lot of Indians, and several GOP leaders spoke against what they call it the Indian takeover of Texas, especially Dallas, Frisco. But making it a poll pitch is a first for Reitz who said he will not allow Collin, Dallas and Harris counties of Texas to become Calcutta, Delhi and Hyderabad. “Collin, Dallas, & Harris Counties may soon be renamed Calcutta, Delhi, & Hyderabad Counties given how bad the invasion of unassimilated & unassimilable Indians has become. Globalist corporations move to Texas to exploit our favorable economic climate,” Reitz said. He was replying to a question on X that asked him: “What will you do about the indian invasion of Texas? That’s the million dollar question that will determine who people support.””Having contempt for native-born American workers, they then facilitate the H-1B scam for cheap labor. All of it must be rolled back. As AG, I’ll partner with the Trump Admin to re-open the books on all their “legal” paperwork. Deport most. Assimilate the rest. At the same time, I’ll go after the gutless, treasonous corporations who have no loyalty to our state and who treat our country like a mere economic zone. This is Texas, USA—not India or Pakistan,” Reitz said.

‘Who is funding this anti-Indian candidate?’

Indian-American Advocacy Council founder Sidharth called out the hate message and asked who is funding this anti-Indian candidate. “If Dallas, Collin, and Harris counties are booming, it’s because talent and capital came legally — not because of some racial conspiracy,” Sidharth wrote.

‘Indians are less than 2% of Texas population’

Immigration attorney Steven Brown pointed out that Indians account for less than 2% of the Texas population. “Yet here you have an AG candidate (and not surprisingly a previous employee of the current DOJ) with dog whistle rhetoric about an “invasion of un-assimilated & un-assimiliable Indians,” Brown wrote,
