The man behind anti-immigrant policy and associated movement

Stephen Miller – who is he, really – some things are in this story from Snopes.com with this shameful policy proposal headlines from Trump:

Trump Administration Proposal Could Punish Legal Immigrants if Their Family Members Use Public Assistance

Quick Background: Stephen Miller (born August 23, 1985) is an American far-right political activist serving as a senior policy advisor to President Trump.

He previously was the communications director for then-Senator (now AG) Jeff Sessions, and a press secretary for former Reps. Michele Bachmann and John Shadegg.

Since joining this administration, Miller has become high-profile in the Trump anti-immigrant movement. For example, he was (1) the chief architect of Trump's Muslim travel ban, (2) the administration's reduction of refugees accepted to the United States, and (3) Trump's policy of separating migrant children from their parents.

On February 12, 2017, he appeared to question the power of the judiciary to limit the executive's role in setting immigration policy from the Guardian here.

Miller also has on multiple occasions made unsubstantiated and false claims regarding electoral fraud.

Miller’s background data shows his real character and proof positive as to why Trump hired him. They share the same ideology and pitiful set of values:

Miller claims he became a committed conservative after reading  Guns, Crime, and Freedom, a book against gun control by NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre. While attending Santa Monica High School, Miller began appearing on conservative talk radio. 

In 2002, Miller wrote a letter to the editor of the Santa Monica Outlook, 
criticizing his school's response to 9/11 in which he stated that “Osama bin-Laden would feel very welcome at Santa Monica High School.”

Miller invited conservative activist David Horowitz to speak, first at the high school and later at while he attended Duke University, and then afterwards denounced the fact that neither of the centers would authorize the event. As a student in H/S, Miller was in the habit of “riling up his fellow classmates with controversial statements” and also telling Latino students to speak only English.

My 2 cents: Yeah, that Stephen Miller and the GOP right wing and others of that ilk have the unmitigated gall to blame DEMS for the nation’s woes, racial and immigration hatred. Astonishing isn’t it?

And, now this latest policy proposal stated above, which BTW would not need congressional approval, is quite sickening, and in my view against every value we hold dear as a nation and compassionate people – Stephen Miller is not in line with those values, let alone few other common decent values from anywhere, except maybe those held in North Korea, Yemen, or Syria isn’t it?

In short, he need not be anywhere in government and shame for Trump, too his views and aligning them with Miller’ or vice versa and hiring him.

Related to all this from the Washington Post (re: “There is no hiding from Trump’s bigotry”).
