A man from Dallas has ignited a heated debate online about immigration with his recent social media post expressing his desire for his children to grow up in America, not India. In a video he shared, Daniel Keene wrote in the caption, “Typical view in my neighbourhood outside Dallas. We have to cancel the H-1B Visa. I want my kids to grow up in America. Not India.” The video, recorded from inside a car, shows people celebrating and playing drums in the streets.
About H-1B Visa
The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers for speciality jobs. Many Indians seek H-1B visas to work in the U.S. while being employed by multinational companies.
It allows U.S. employers to access global talent and fill workforce shortages. However, the program has also faced criticism, with some saying it helps employers while hurting American workers.

Social media reactions have varied. Some users supported the man’s views, emphasising the importance of patriotism and American values. One user commented, “That’s the spirit! Raising kids who love America with H-1B Visa is key.”
On the other hand, some users argued that cultural diversity is a strength of the U.S. They believe children should learn about their parents’ cultural heritage. One user noted, “America is a melting pot. Kids should learn about their roots.”
Others shared their own experiences, highlighting the challenges and benefits of raising children in a new country. One user shared, “As an immigrant, I want my kids to know both cultures.”
