Many users responded by reposting the video with critical comments. One user wrote, “Big L for this brown jeeta.

In January, Patel also weighed in on the H-1B visa program, sharing her views in a video on X. “We seriously need to eliminate the H-1B visa program altogether. So this is a map of H-1B employers throughout the United States, and it seems as though they have literally conquered the entire state of Texas. Why is this happening? Well, you have multiple immigration lawyers, each approving tens of thousands of H-1B applications,” she said.
She had also criticized U.S. housing policy, “Yes, there are programs that help H-1B holders get mortgages with little to no lines of credit here in the US. They were even receiving lower interest rates and government-backed FHA loans until just May of last year.”
Patel, an Indian American conservative commentator and political influencer, has also become a regular presence on Fox News, frequently appearing as a guest and panelist.
