Trump's 'Hellhole' Remark Sparks Outrage
The controversy began when Trump reposted a podcast clip from conservative pundit Michael Savage that criticized birthright citizenship and immigrants from South Asian countries.
The diplomatic fallout comes at a sensitive time, just weeks before Secretary of State Marco Rubio is scheduled to visit India.
Indian-origin U.S. Representative Ami Bera also condemned the remarks, highlighting the contributions of his immigrant parents to American society.
Despite the backlash, Trump has continued to amplify anti-immigrant rhetoric as he pushes for a radical overhaul of the U.S. refugee program.
