US politician Brandon Gill has sparked harsh criticism online after making an anti-immigration comment on social media. Moving on to X, the congressman representing Texas’ 26th Congressional District argued that immigration is not inherently beneficial simply because it is legal."Immigration is not ‘good’ just because it is legal,” he wrote in the post, which quickly gained traction and sparked widespread backlash.Social media users were quick to highlight what they described as a contradiction, pointing out that Gill’s own wife comes from an immigrant background. He married conservative author Danielle D’Souza in 2017. Born in Mumbai, India, D’Souza is the daughter of prominent conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza, who is of Indian descent. "His father-in-law was born in Maharashtra, India and immigrated to the United States in 1978,” one user wrote. "His wife is Indian,” another recalled, while many pointed out that Gill would not have married or had his family if immigration had not been allowed."So why would you marry an immigrant?” another user questioned.Danielle D’Souza Gill is an American author, commentator, and conservative activist. A graduate of Dartmouth College, she has been active in the Women for Trump coalition and has appeared on networks such as Fox News and Newsmax. Despite his personal ties to an immigrant family, Gill, who represents Texas’ 26th Congressional District, has remained consistent in his stance. In June 2025, the Republican representative had posted X-rated images comparing California in the 1960s to today. "California in 1960 versus California today. Mass migration has made America unrecognizable,” he wrote. In March of the same year, he trashed "multiculturalism,” claiming it would tear America apart. \u201cMulticulturalism will destroy our country,\u201d the American politician posted on X, prompting similar reminders about his wife\u2019s immigrant roots on both occasions. <\/p>\n
