Our goal is to move beyond demonisation and ensure immigrants are celebrated for their contributions, resilience, and role in shaping America,” Chintan Patel, executive director, Indian American Impact Fund, a political organisation representing Indian and South Asian American communities, told the Times of India.

"Unsurprisingly, Republican leaders have remained silent because so many MAGA Republicans rose to power by demonising immigrants and embracing their supporters’ push for a White ethno-nationalist vision. Meanwhile, Democrats recognise diversity as America’s greatest strength and have passed hate crime legislation at state and federal levels to protect vulnerable communities,” Patel said. He added that leaders from all parties were being urged to reject racism and take tangible action to ensure that immigrant communities in America are safe and valued."
