Indian-origin politician Nikki Haley’s son, Nalin Haley, has once again spoken out strongly against H-1B visas. In an interview with Fox News, Nalin said, “At the end of the day, my loyalty is to America and that’s part of assimilation.”

Blaming former President Barack Obama for allowing immigrants to come to the US without adapting to American values, he added, “What we saw with Obama is that we had a lot of immigrants coming here, and the thought was that you don’t need to change, you don’t need to have your loyalty, you could be who you are. No, you need to assimilate. You need to act like an American and support American values and support American workers and American people. We should absolutely ban H-1B,” repeating his earlier comments made in an interview with UnHerd.

Nalin’s views have caught attention because of his own background. His mother, Nikki Haley, was born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa, an Indian American whose parents migrated from Amritsar, Punjab. Regardless of having Indian heritage, Nalin has taken a tough stand on immigration, including immigration from India.

‘Stop legal and illegal immigration’

Earlier this week, while speaking to UnHerd, Nalin said that the US should stop both legal and illegal immigration. He also mentioned that many of his friends are struggling to find jobs.

“We don’t just stop illegal immigration. I think we need to stop legal immigration,” he said. He went on to say that the US should also stop foreign aid until every American has access to “jobs, healthcare, and stable living conditions.”

Nalin also said that naturalised citizens who insult America should be removed from the country.

“No, I quite literally mean that. I’m often sarcastic, but not in this case. I mean, he hates America. If you hate America, you shouldn’t be in America. … Everyone wants to make it so complicated. That’s the thing with the past generation. They always talk about the rules, regulations, process. No, it’s simple. If you don’t like America, get out,” he said.

Nalin explained that his frustration comes from seeing his classmates struggle. According to him, all his high school friends have college degrees, but none have found jobs even after a year of searching. He said he feels angry watching them compete with foreign workers for the same opportunities.
