US representative Brandon Gill 7-Eleven in the US is facing extreme criticism online for his comments on hiring Indians in stores. In an increasingly popular video on“While sharing the video, he captioned the post, “We do not need to import 7-Eleven workers from India or anywhere around the world. Hire Americans.” Gill appeared on The Benny Show, hosted by YouTuber Benny Johnson, and talked about the growing immigrant demographics in areas like Frisco in Texas. He blamed illegal and legal immigration through the H-1B visa system as fraudsters, citing the example of India’s 7-Eleven workers. He also claimed that people set up fake businesses in the country and start serial immigration after settling. “This thing has to end at some point and I think that point has come now,” he said. His comments stem from a video shot inside a 7-Eleven store in Texas, which was posted by controversial YouTuber Tyler Oliveira. In the clip, an Indian employee at the store mentioned that he is in the country on an H-1B visa and is originally from Andhra Pradesh in India. The video was later shared by AF Post on X with this caption: “Tyler Oliveira shows an H-1B worker at 7/11. To be approved for an H-1B, it must be determined that there is no American talent who can fill the position.“Gill, who represents Texas’s 26th Congressional District, responded to the video calling for a ban on H-1B visas, writing, “H-1B is a scam and must be ended.”As many social media users pointed out, the irony is that Gill himself is married to an Indian. His wife, Danielle D’Souza, is the daughter of Trump aide Dinesh D’Souza, who was born in Mumbai and immigrated to the US in 1978. Danielle D’Souza Gill is an American author, commentator, and conservative activist who has appeared on Fox News and Newsmax, as well as been actively involved in the Women for Trump coalition.Gill faced heavy criticism for his comments on Indians, with many netizens asking him to marry a woman of Indian origin. One user on Another said, “Gas stations don’t pay well, no one wants to work there, open racism from a congressman is crazy.” “Then why marry an Indian brother,” and “Do you consider your in-laws as imports, Congressman? Have some shame,” wrote others. Despite his personal ties to an immigrant family, Gill is known for being vocal about his anti-immigration stance. First, he went to X to argue that immigration is not inherently beneficial because it is legal. In another post, he shared photos of California of 1960 and 2025, comparing the two and claiming that mass migration has made America “unrecognizable.” Interestingly, each of his posts on this issue is accompanied by a reminder of his wife’s immigrant roots.
