"Your Wife Is Indian": Internet Slams US Politician Over Anti-Migration CommentsMany users were quick to point out that Mr Gill is married to Danielle D'Souza, daughter of prominent conservative commentator Dinesh D'Souza, who is of Indian descent.

Representative Brandon Gill, a Republican serving Texas's 26th Congressional District, has sparked widespread controversy following a viral social media post where he criticised mass migration. The post, which has drawn significant backlash from users across platforms, featured a side-by-side comparison of California in the 1960s versus the present day, with the implication that immigration is responsible for what Mr Gill perceives as the state's decline.

"California in 1960 vs California today. Mass migration has made America unrecognisable," Mr Gill wrote on X while sharing two images. The first image depicted a serene 1960s beach scene with blonde-haired sunbathers, while another showed a dramatic moment from the LA riots, with a man waving a Mexican flag amidst flames.
