'It’s not about India but about his distaste for immigration': Indian American constitutional scholar over H-1B programme
Constitutional scholar Saikrishna Prakash stated that US immigration restrictions reflect President Trump's general hostility towards immigration, not a specific stance against India. He warned that executive power now overshadows Congress, leaving Indian professionals vulnerable to discretionary policy shifts. Prakash suggested this could lead to a geographic redistribution of Indian talent globally.
