Only when it comes to protecting Americans and their well-being. Everyone should have affordable health care, medicine, education, etc. If you can't pay, we ensure you are still taken care of. Is that right-wing?

I have seen good-paying jobs disappear for our youth. Every company I walk into there are entire floors of Indians working. These are some of the biggest corporations in America. These Indians are not citizens but either contract or H1B employees.

I think the racism and anti immigration rhetoric is what they meant by right wing.

Indian nationals were the main beneficiaries of H-1B temporary visas for highly skilled foreign workers, accounting for 72 percent of all H-1Bs approved in FY 2023, followed by Chinese and Filipinos (12 percent and 1 percent, respectively). That's data, not racism imho. Indian nationals are the primary beneficiary of H1Bs, the evidence shows H1Bs are used to depress domestic wages. This gets us to ChumpGPT's thesis relatively trivially.
