Daniel Keene served up a Texas-sized take on H1-B visas and immigration last month — and says he paid a hefty price for it.
Keene, who owns Boundaries Coffee, a popular local coffee chain outside Dallas, publicly shared his thoughts on the program that allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers for specialty occupations in a post on X, while noting the "typical view" in his suburban neighborhood. "We have to cancel the H-1Bs," Keene, of Aubrey, wrote on September 6. "I want my kids to grow up in America. Not India." The post, which was deleted days later, included footage of roughly 100 people celebrating outside during an Indian religious festival. After the post went viral, Keene said he started receiving threats via email, including a $20,000 extortion attempt, and the two drive-thru locations he operates in Little Elm and Prosper got a barrage of bad reviews online. He also lost $8,000 in sales over two weeks, as well as a potential employee who withdrew her application.
But Keene doesn't regret sharing his beliefs on what has become a hot-button topic of discussion during the second Trump administration.
"I wanted to bring awareness to the policy effect on the ground," Keene, 30, told Newsweek in an interview Thursday. "I did not want to get death threats."

America should never have had H-1B visas. America first, not last. I was saying this years ago and it was crickets on FR. Glad to see some waking up. Some of us here saw what students visas were doing to the system back in the 70s. We should have already shut down all immigration and visas until every last illegal and over stayer is gone. Wait 5 years to get back on our feet and then maybe discuss a very limited and investigated immigration policy. Enough with rubber stamping them and ignoring them once they get their noses in. That’s how we ended up with Kamala, that NYC mayoral candidate and too many in government.
Trails Church. I knew it would be one of those “hipster doofus” churches. The pastor wears skinny jeans and has a key chain dangling from his back pocket. He should go to a church that begins with “First Baptist Church of.”
“We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
How far we’ve fallen from that ideal! Teddy must be crying in his grave.
Now you have millions with dual citizenships, ballots printed in 20 languages, people calling for the destruction of America, burning flags, spitting on the constitution, etc, etc.
I have always said, “9/11 was not an intelligence failure, it was an immigration failure.”
And just like that, there were no Ukraine posts any more.
yes, colonization.
not exactly. those indians don’t really want to be here.
most plan on going home.
they’re here to make the $$$$
I’m looking at the medical specialists in my local hospital conglomerate, can’t agree that they want to go back
medical has far more staying power than tech.
in tech, the assignments usually last 12-24 months.
