‘Indians dumping trash in fields, living in...’: MAGA commentator says Frisco residents are ‘sick of it’ amid ‘Indian takeover’ row

A political row broke out in Frisco, Texas, after a conservative commentator claimed residents were fed up with Indian communities in the area. She was responding to an Indian-American advocacy group that has warned of legal and civil rights action against anti-Indian hate in the state.

Kaylee Campbell, a right-wing political commentator, made the remarks on X while replying to a post by the Indian American Advocacy Council (IAAC). She said her statement came after she had received comments from locals in Frisco who are 'sick' of Indians living there.

“Don’t take it from me, take it from the thousands of Frisco residents and others in the surrounding area who are sick of it,” Campbell said.

She alleged that: “I’ve gotten messages about local Indian communities dumping their trash in fields, living in unsanitary housing conditions, & using/abusing the laws we have in place, and SO much more.”

She also said that some Indians are still not able to assimilate into the American 'culture' and that they should be out of the US.

The IAAC was criticizing the narrative being pushed ahead of a Frisco City Council meeting scheduled for February 3, saying Indian Americans were being unfairly targeted.

“The Indian American Advocacy Council (IAAC) strongly condemns the xenophobic and racially charged rhetoric being promoted ahead of the February 3rd Frisco City Council meeting,” the group said.

They added: “Labeling legal residents and taxpayers as an ‘Indian takeover’ is not ‘community concern.’ It is open racism and targeted intimidation.”

The group said it was documenting statements and individuals involved and was prepared to pursue “formal complaints, public exposure, and coordination with relevant civil rights partners”.

The Indian American group was responding to an earlier video by Campbell in which she said that a whistleblower had claimed there was an “Indian takeover” under way in Frisco and that the city’s mayor was being funded by Indian donors.

Earlier, she had also alleged massive H-1B visa fraud in Texas. Kaylee claimed that a single Indian-origin attorney had approved more than 700,000 applications and that multiple visa addresses were being shown on a single location but without any office building.

She quoted Mark Palasciano, a former T-Mobile employee and self-described whistleblower, praising him for calling out the described “massive takeover”.

Palasciano earlier said he left a high-paying career to expose corporate wrongdoing. “I’m a 42-year-old lifelong Texan who walked away from my $200,000 career, so I could expose how corporations are destroying America from within,” he said in a video posted on X.

Mark had also alleged that H1-Bs taking jobs in US is just one part of the problem in the bigger 'Indian takeover' of Frisco.
