Meet Nilesh Patel. He is an Indian living in Middle Tennessee.
I've confirmed he owns the Carthage Vape & Tobacco Shop and Carthage Discount Tobacco in Carthage, as well as a Mexican restaurant called DosBros in Hendersonville, which held its grand opening earlier this year. He also helps manage other DosBros in the area.
The Patel business network in the Gallatin area is complex. It's possible he also has minority stakes in multiple convenience stores.
Even though he has benefited immensely from living in Tennessee, he still proudly displays the Indian flag on social media and practices his homeland's culture. He is married to another Indian. His children were most likely born on U.S. soil but are culturally Indian. He has family who still live in India. There is nothing American about him.
Did he emigrate here through chain migration or through an H-1B visa?
Why is he even here?
It's obvious he sees our country as an economic zone and has no intention of assimilating.
How have Americans benefited from his presence?
