Nikki Haley Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Nikki Haley has been making waves with some surprising political moves that have captured the attention of observers across the political spectrum. Most recently, the former UN Ambassador has taken aim at President Trump's policy proposals, positioning herself as taking an even harder line on certain issues than the President himself.

In a significant break from Trump on foreign policy, Haley publicly slammed the administration's plan to allow 600,000 Chinese students to attend US universities, calling it a "massive mistake." According to observers, this stance has surprised conservatives, as Haley is taking a tougher position than Trump on what many view as a national security concern.

Perhaps even more noteworthy, Haley has criticized Trump over his acceptance of a 400 million dollar Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from Qatar's ruling family for use as Air Force One. In a statement on social media, she wrote that accepting gifts from foreign nations threatens intelligence and national security, particularly concerning given Qatar's history of supporting terrorist organizations and regimes. She pointedly added, "If this were Biden, we would be furious," highlighting what she sees as a troubling double standard.

Her son Nalin Haley, meanwhile, has been making headlines with his own controversial stances on immigration. The 24-year-old has called for stopping both illegal and legal immigration, citing struggles faced by his generation in the job market. In interviews with UnHerd, Nalin argued that companies aren't hiring enough Americans and that mass migration is irresponsible given economic fragility. He's also called for ending H-1B visas and suggested suspending all foreign aid until every American has access to jobs and healthcare. This position is particularly striking given that Nalin himself comes from an Indian-origin immigrant family. He's also made contentious statements on social media, suggesting that people who hate America should leave the country, and has called for the denaturalization and deportation of British-born journalist Mehdi Hasan.

These recent developments paint a picture of Nikki Haley as someone willing to critique her party's leadership while her son represents a more hardline immigration stance that contrasts sharply with his family's own immigrant heritage.
