A MAGA influencer sparked controversy by slamming children of H-1B visa holders standing in front of a Hindu temple ahead of July 4, declaring that being American means nothing.

The incident occurred as the group gathered outside the temple, with the influencer targeting the children of H-1B workers, a category of skilled foreign professionals.

The remarks drew criticism from community members who viewed them as disrespectful to both the temple and the children's connection to America.

The influencer's comments come amid ongoing debates about immigration and national identity in the United States.
