The Indian community faced discriminatory remarks at a Frisco Texas USA city council meeting according to report. The incident reportedly took place on February 3 and was later covered by local media outlets.
Claims Made During the Meeting
Frisco City Council meeting attendance was promoted by social media influencers who support conservative views according to multiple sources. The city needs an official meeting to discuss its increasing Indian student population. Several attendees reportedly wore pro-US hats and masks during the meeting.
The meeting participants raised slogans against the H-1B visa program and against Indians who live in the city. Reports indicate that multiple people involved in the incident belonged to other cities outside Frisco.
Allegations and Public Statements
Mark Palaciano at the meeting asserted that Indian population growth occurred through planned efforts. He alleged that visa fraud was occurring and warned that the area would soon be dominated by Indians. He urged local American residents to respond to this situation. He and his supporters believe that the visa system needs to be eliminated because it takes away job possibilities from American workers who possess the necessary qualifications.
Response From the Indian-American Community
The Indian-American attendees at the meeting showed their strong disapproval of the statements. They explained that because they oppose H-1B visa fraud they refuse to blame Indian residents for the problems. The Indian community makes beneficial contributions to both the local economy and society.
