A Texas business owner says his life has been turned upside down after a social media post criticizing H-1B visas led to online harassment, business backlash and ultimately, church discipline.
As first reported by Sebastian Pestritto of The Blaze, Daniel Keene of North Texas posted a short video on X showing an Indian block party that filled an entire suburban street, adding, “We have to cancel the H-1Bs. I want my kids to grow up in America. Not India.”
The post went viral, and “all hell broke loose,” The Blaze reported.

But Keene said the most painful blow came from his church.
Leaders of The Trails Church called Keene to confront him about his immigration stance, telling him to repent and labeling his post “uncharitable.” Keene said he deleted the post soon after it went viral but refused to disavow his position.
He told The Blaze that he and his pregnant wife were summoned to a meeting with “all the elders and staff who could be there.” Keene recalled, “They just hammered me for … hours.”
According to Keene, the elders reviewed three years of his X posts, highlighting two they found “concerning.” When he asked for clarification on what sin he was being accused of, he said the answers shifted. “On one hand, they are saying that the issue is not the position itself; it’s how I expressed it,” he said. “But then we’ve had three hours of phone calls, and they’re just hammering me on the position itself.”
When Keene asked the elders to put his alleged offenses in writing, they refused. He offered to post clarifying messages on X or speak with anyone offended, but said the church leadership demanded an apology and for him to renounce his position on Indian immigration.

Indians worship demons , no Christian should want them around.
Blue demons.
Time to shake dust and find another church.
I’m a great Sinner. I wouldn’t be a member of any church that would have me./s
I heard they have a nice statue of a monkey demon up in Texas some where . That’s what we want in America because we don’t have enough problems
Lol!
A great many Indians are Christians.
According to google it’s about 2.5% of the population.
Have you ever heard of Thomas the Apostle? He went to south India, and the Christians he led the Marthomites are still there today. India has had Christianity since 54 AD.
As of 2025, the estimated Christian population in India is approximately 33.6 million, representing about 2.3% of the country’s total population of around 1.46 billion.
So definitely not “all Indians”.
India is a continent with myriad nations.
If you can get a high tech job, which is very difficult now (if you are an American citizen). It is highly likely your boss will be a citizen of a country half the world away, who has less experience than you do. Is this what our parents and grandparents worked so hard for? Is this what we seek to hand down to our kids and grandkids?
That’s 33.6 million people
They. probably aren’t the ones worshipping demons.
Their arrogance is the worst part.
So when will we talk about the war in Ukraine again?
According to Wiki, that represents about 28 million people - 4 times as many as the Jews in the US.
But I guess 28 million is a negligible number...
Funny how it seems everybody is allowed to speak their mind except gainfully employed White people that are
productive contributors to our society.
For some reason it seems we are all supposed to STHU.
Looks like the Ukraine troll is dead in the water. 😉
Hammered for 3 hours? Who would put up with that?
