as regards Indian professionals in America who think they’ll always be welcome as “good immigrants” by Trump & co:

A reason I wrote @cnnopinion essay at top of this is that Indian professionals in America who think they’ll always be welcome as “good immigrants” by Trump & co are wrong.

Trump would rather have a Norwegian fisherman than an Indian engineer come to America. Period. Full stop. pic.twitter.com/l6cTBnWmHx

“THEM” vs “US”: I wrote this @CNNopinion essay about the new Trump immigration/Green Card change policy. It’s aimed at Indian-Americans, but applies to every community. Thanks for reading & bringing any attention to it. Would love yr thoughts.

p.s. I see there was a "Muslim-ban" dog whistle to the Indian-Hindu-Americans in the crowd, wonder if it works: 11 hr 19 min ago: Trump: Both India and US must protect their borders

he's leeching off all the Modi fans coming from allover the place to see a Modi rally, Mr. Hindu-is-the-Best-Identity-to-Be:

Hey- how many of them are U.S. citizens?

Edit to add: My point, and one thing for sure, it definitely was not a "MAGA" event unless the plan now is to make the U.S. great by increasing the percentage of adherents to Hinduism. Of course, Trump being a part of it was a feature, not a bug, two peas in a pod. This op-ed at CNN live update page from 11 hrs. ago explains the event:

President Donald Trump and India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi will share a stage in my hometown of Houston, Texas, at an event named "Howdy, Modi" today. This is Modi's first trip to the US since his reelection earlier this year, and it comes at a time when he and Trump are looking to forge stronger ties and trade relations between the US and India.

While tens of thousands of Indian Americans are expected to welcome the prime minister inside the NRG stadium alongside local officials, members of Congress, and other politicians, I'll be outside protesting with many others as we bid adios to Modi.

It's shameful to see the prime minister being enthusiastically welcomed in the city I know and love under the guise of multiculturalism and inclusion -- especially when Modi has stoked Hindu nationalist sentiments since he was first elected in 2014 [....]
