Trump Woos Indian Voters With Modi in Texas

Trump speaking:

"It is my immense privilege to be here with (Indian Prime Minister Modi) today at this profoundly historic event. We’re especially grateful to be joined by over 50,000 members of our incredible nation, thriving, prospering, flourishing and hard working Indian American community. Thank you.

Prime Minister Modi and I have come to you to celebrate everything that unites America and India, our shared dreams and bright future. I’ve also come to express my profound gratitude to the nearly 4 million amazing Indian Americans across our country. You enrich our culture, you uphold our values, you uplift our communities, and you are truly proud to be Americans and we are proud to have you as Americans.

We thank you, we love you, and I want you to know my administration is fighting for you each and every day.

In my campaign for president, I promised all of that, if we were elected India would have a true and great friend in the White House. I can tell you never had a better friend as President than President Donald Trump.

Every day, the Indian American community is helping to strengthen our country and build our future. Indian Americans are pioneering ground breaking medicine to save countless lives, they’re developing revolutionary technology that is changing the world, and they are founding new businesses that provide jobs to thousands of our fellow citizens. Prime Minister Modi, I look forward to working with you to make our nations even more prosperous than ever before.  

Indian companies employ tens of thousands of Americans, across a range of industries, including American steel. In 2018, India’s JSW Steel announced that it would invest up to 500 million dollars, to revitalize a shuttered steel plant in the great state of Ohio.

And we welcome India’s growing investments right here in the Lone Star state.

Illegal immigration is deeply unfair to millions of wonderful legal immigrants, who work hard, pay their taxes, follow our rules and obey our laws. Yet there are those in Washington who would raid your healthcare to fund free benefits, they want to provide free benefits, to those who enter our country illegally. We don’t want to do that.

We are going to take care of our Indian American immigrants before we take care of illegal immigrants who want to pour into our country.

And in concluding, I want to say, that America has always been a nation of pioneers and patriots, risk takers and free thinkers, and dedicated workers who have honed their trade, mastered their field,  and teach their children to always give their very, very best. Every day, Indian Americans help write this story of American greatness, and everyone here today has a crucial part to play in building an even grandeur and greater American and Indian future. To help achieve that exiting vision, we are strengthening our cherished bonds with the nation of India and we are proving the awesome power of democracy, and unlimited potential of free people. Together, we will continue to deepen the ties between our nations, we will honor the faith and dignity of our citizens and we will achieve incredible advancements for our people, for our children and for the world. We will discover new cures and save millions of lives. We will advance cutting edge technology and life millions and millions of people out of poverty. We will pioneer new frontiers in space, working together, raising the sights of humanity. We will uphold our values, defend our liberties, and control our destiny.

The United States and India will make our nations stronger, our people wealthier, our dreams bigger, and our future brighter than ever before.

God bless you; God bless India; and God bless America."
