During a program organized at Mississippi University in America, such a moment came which stunned the entire hall. When US Vice President JD Vance was speaking on migration policy on the stage, a female student of Indian origin wearing a pashmina shawl stood up and asked him a question. Vance had said in his speech that America should now reduce the number of legal immigrants, because the increasing population is increasing the burden on the society.

On this the student directly asked him that you brought us here by showing us the American dream, we studied, worked, paid taxes, now you say that we are more? Want to kick us out? After the student’s question, the auditorium echoed with applause and the atmosphere became heated for some time.

Vance’s response and increasing tension

JD Vance tried to remain calm on the student’s question. He said he respects legal immigrants, but allowing millions of new people into the country every year could upset the social balance. He said that America should reduce the pace of migration keeping in mind the priorities of its citizens. The student then said, “This is not an uproar, it is a question. We are asking what every immigrant is feeling.” Vance said with a smile that dialogue is necessary, but the country’s policies are based on balance, not emotions.

Questions raised on religion and identity also

The conversation did not end here. The student asked Vance if “you have to be a Christian to love America?” This question was special because Vance’s wife Usha Vance is a Hindu of Indian origin. On this the Vice President said that my wife is a Hindu and I am a Christian. I want him to understand our religion, but if he doesn’t want to, that’s his right. God has given every person the freedom to choose his own path.” Hearing his answer, the atmosphere calmed down a bit, but the video clip went viral on social media. Thousands of Indian-American users praised the courage of the student and said that she spoke as the voice of every migrant.

Growing concern among Indian students and professionals

This incident has happened at a time when America’s migration policies are becoming increasingly strict. Many Indian students are troubled by the new conditions of H-1B and OPT visas. Thousands of visas have been canceled and the EAD (Employment Authorization) process has also been made more complicated. The Indian community says they have been contributing to America’s economy and innovation for years, yet now they are being made to feel like they are a burden. Because of this many youth are confused about their future.
