He pushed back on claims of Donald Trump, saying that mass migration from third-world countries is ruining America.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>The conservative Coulter saw the video as some kind of &#8220;promotion&#8221; that Indians do. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Last week, Ann Coulter stirred up another row when she attacked Indian-origin Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal. <!-- -->Coulter said &#8220;We really have to look into the problem of Indians&#8217; low self-esteem.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>This sly comment came after Jayapal was defending undocumented immigrants, saying it is not a crime to be one and live in America.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>In a video message on X, Jayapal said: &#8220;And despite the endless stream of xenophobic and racist rhetoric from Trump and Republicans, the vast majority of immigrants \u2014 both documented and undocumented \u2014 contribute to America in more ways than we could imagine.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Recently, the Trump administration, mostly under the influence of the MAGA base, has been cracking down on people from third-world countries. This was the result of the aftermath of a brutal shooting near White House a few days ago, in which an Afghan National was involved. The suspect shot two young National Guard soldiers. 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom died of injuries, and 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe is out of danger, but was seriously injured as well.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      const ifAllowedOnAllPages = allowedSurvicateSections && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('all');\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed || ifAllowedOnAllPages){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n            var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
