Nikki Haley's son says Indians should not be shocked that he wants them out of America and an H-1B ban: 'My loyalty is to US'

Indian-origin Nikki Haley's son Nalin Haley, in his first Fox interview, said that people should not be shocked that he wants Indians out of the country as his loyalty, despite his roots in India, is to America. The 24-year-old son of the former governor of South Carolina recently created a stir because of his extreme views that the US should ban legal immigration as well. He also made news for trashing Republicans like Vivek Ramaswamy, for asserting that MAGA can't rise above religion, as the GOP cares about religion.

Speaking about the 'anxiety' of his generation, Nalin Haley said graduates who are around his age have six figures in debt and have not got jobs. He said none of his friends has got a job even after a year and a half after graduation with good degrees. Those who have jobs are employed temporarily or doing jobs that don't require a degree. He said he does pretty well but can't envision buying a house in future.

"This isn't normalcy. The American Dream is becoming less and less attainable with each passing day," Haley said.

America is now prioritizing foreign workers who are coming and taking American jobs, Haley said, adding that companies which are not prioritizing Americans should be punished. Haley was told that his stand on H-1B is surprising to many as he is an Indian-American and H-1B facilitates a lot of indians in US job sectors.

"They shouldn't be because I have seen how it has affected my friends and those around me. At the end of the day, my loyalty is to America and that's part of assimilation," he said blaming former president Barack Obama for immigrants coming to America and not assimilating.

"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," Haley said.
