Republican leader Virgil Bierschwale who is contesting the 2026 Texas senate election made a dire prediction that if President Donald Trump makes a deal with India to bring more workers to the US, it will be the “beginning of the end of his legacy”. Bierschwale has been speaking against H-1B visa programs consistently, demanding an end to it so that US tech workers are not robbed of their job. “Americans have had enough of being discriminated against in their own country by Indian managers who refuse to hire Americans or work with them,” Bierschwale said. “This is the reason a nobody like myself stands a very good chance of winning over the moneyed @JohnCornyn and @KenPaxtonTX,” he wrote referring to incumbent Texas senator John Cornyn who never lost an election in Texas. Attorney General Ken Paxton announced he was running for Senate in April.“Nobody is standing up for Americans which leaves them nowhere to go other than demand that Americans truly be put first in America which is the opposite of what president trump and his billionaires of his round table are doing and why even though I believe it is morally wrong, our business leaders will understand why Luigi was targeting them,” Biershwale wrote referring to the assassination of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson.The Republican leader’s statement came as US is negotiation a trade deal with India. Some reports claimed that India sought greater access to labor-intensive industries like textiles, plastics and chemicals. “I think we are going to have a deal with India. And that is going to be a different kind of a deal. It is going to be a deal where we are able to go in and compete. Right now, India does not accept anybody in. I think India is going to do that, and if they do that, we are going to have a deal for much less tariffs,” Trump said earlier. On April 2, “Liberation Day”. Trump announced a 26 per cent duty on Indian imports but suspended it as tlks were going on.
