HOUSTON — It wasn’t your typical Trump campaign rally.
Instead of red Make America Great Again hats, there were turbans and Islamic caps. Women in traditional Indian garb danced to bhangra drums. And tens of thousands of cheering Indian Americans chanted “USA!” and snapped photos.
President Donald Trump appeared at a cavernous football stadium on Sunday alongside Narendra Modi, the popular prime minister of India, who attracted a crowd of 50,000 from across the U.S. to what was touted as the largest event in the country for a leader of a foreign nation.
“You have never had a better friend as president than President Donald Trump,” Trump said as the crowd roared with approval. “We thank you. We love you. I want you to know my administration is fighting for you each and every day.”
Trump is hoping to appeal to Indian American voters, a growing political force in the U.S., with his business-friendly agenda — especially the 2017 tax cuts — as well as his tough talk on terrorism and his decision to show up at the rally even though the ethnic group has generally backed Democrats.
“It’s giving a message to the Indian community that Trump is a big friend of India,” said Rupesh Srivastava, a Michigan businessman and founding member of the Republican Hindu Coalition. “That message will definitely motivate people.”

Ever wonder what the native Americans said when white people from Europe arrived? My guess is “there goes the neighborhood”!
Its our worst nightmare for our kids .
This bill shows that our government is out-of-control. Passing legislation that is designed to steal our jobs with cheap labor. How did we get to the point that those we had so much faith in i.e. Mike Lee, Ted Cruz et al are sponsoring and voting for bills that displace American workers? I don’t get it!
LOL.
Pure Evil .
Blame it on the strong push on STEM college education in India. They graduate more engineers than United States. And more doctors. And more accountants.
Yeah, because you know every Indian-American across the whole country. Explain Bobby Jindal and Nikki Haley then. The only two Indian-American governors in our nation’s history. Both Republicans.
Haley is stupid anti Trump anti Southern heritage < rhymes with stunt > .
Yean, that’s the core.
India just passed new tax laws to encourage investment there. About a 25% cut.
Would sure like for Indians to have opportunities at home.
And like in highly diverse India, Indians will build their own small communities and not mix outside of those groups. That includes hiring friends and friends of friends.
This will blow up in their faces in less than a generation if they don’t integrate.

MIGA!
Kamala Harris is Caribbean, not Indian.
Meanwhile our idiots here are ditching school to protest "Climate Change".
We imported and H-1B’d Americans out of the best jobs in America. It has been a sad thing to watch of the last 25 years.
Well technically she's a "West Indian".
Disgusting! These are people taking American jobs, just as bad as the illegals coming over the border, each one beers, are not needed, and or a big scam. They don’t vote Republican, and India is not our ally, and it is just troubling to see this pandering. Too bad price could not have rounded them up and send them home with Prime Minister Modi.
And how do you change their minds? By speaking to 50,000 influential Indian-Americans. What did Trump do today?
She was with Franklin Graham doing something for Sudan.
