There’s a reason they’re holding it in Texas. We have many Indians here. There are also many in Northern Virginia, which would offset all the liberals who work in the capitol. Do you really think he’s going to promise them visas or are you just being sarcastic?

In 2015, he promised to reduce H-1B visas, which he can do with an Executive Order.
So far, no reduction at all.
In fact, Trump expanded the OPT student work visa, which is just a thinly disguised surrogate for the H-1B.
Also, today, Congress was supposed to vote on a new Green Card system.
From memory, India has a Green Card quota of about 10,000 per year.
Under the new legislation, that could go to 100,000 per year.
If Trump is opposed to that legislation, I have not read about it.
As far as I know, Asian-Indians make up less than 2% of the eligible voters in every state.
Maybe they are above 2% in New Jersey and New York, but we will probably have to wait for the 2020 Census to find out.
Trump lost Virginia by 5.3%, so he’s going to need a lot more help than flipping 10,000-20,000 Asian-Indians.
