A student of Indian origin sparked a viral debate at the Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi after confronting US Vice President JD Vance over the Trump administration’s immigration policies. The exchange, captured on video, gained widespread attention across social media platforms for its pointed remarks and emotional tone.
Student questions Trump administration’s stance
The student challenged the administration’s hardline position on curbing foreign immigration, asking, “When you talk about too many immigrants here, when did you guys decide the number? Why did you sell us a dream; you made us spend our youth and wealth in this country and gave us a dream. You don't owe us anything; we have worked hard for it. Then how can you as the VP say that ‘we have too many of them now and we are going to take them out’ to people who are here rightfully by paying the money that you guys asked us?”
Her comments drew applause from parts of the audience and quickly circulated online, with many praising her for voicing the concerns of foreign students and skilled professionals affected by recent visa restrictions.
Vance defends restrictive immigration policy
Responding to the question, Vance said the United States must reduce its levels of immigration, while respecting those who entered the country through lawful pathways. “But just because one person, 10 people or 100 people came in legally and contributing to the United States of America, does that mean that we are thereby committed to let in a million or ten million or hundred million people in the future?” he said.
He further added, “My job as the vice president of the US is not to look out for the interests of the whole world. It’s to look out for the people of the United States,” a remark that drew loud applause from the crowd.
According to a report by The Times of India, the exchange continued to trend online after reports emerged that the same student questioned Vance on religion and identity, prompting him to say he wished his Indian-origin wife, Usha Vance, embraced Christianity.
While several users praised the student for her courage, pro-MAGA social media accounts targeted her with offensive comments, calling her a “delusional Hindu H-1B invader.”
Immigration policy under scrutiny
The confrontation came amid a series of restrictive immigration measures introduced by the Trump administration. These include a $100,000 fee on H-1B visa programs, the halt of automatic Employment Authorization Document extensions, and Florida’s decision to bar H-1B hiring in public higher education institutions.
The debate highlighted the growing divide over immigration policy in the United States, as foreign workers and students continue to express concern over shifting rules that affect their future in the country.
