Miller: Top racist bigot in the White House with Trump's ear
Very interesting and most-enlightening article which
confirms what many of us have known for a very long time concerning the racist
anti-immigrant hypocrite with a lot of power and influence over Trump – story
here from Politico and related
article from Slate here.
Below in part is from the man who knows Miller better
than perhaps anyone else and if follows this short introduction from the
Politico story:
The White
House is actively considering plans that could again separate parents and
children at the US-Mexico border, hoping to reverse soaring numbers of families
attempting to cross illegally into the United States.
One option
under consideration is the so-called “Binary Choice” in which the government
detains asylum-seeking families together for up to 20 days, then give parents a
choice:
(1) — to stay in family detention with their child
for months or years as their immigration case proceeds.
(2) — to allow children to be taken to a
government shelter so other relatives or guardians can seek custody.
This but one
of several others under consideration amid the president’s frustration over
border security. Trump has been unable to fulfill key promises to build a
border wall and end what he calls “catch and release,” a process that began
under past administrations in which most detained families are quickly freed to
await immigration hearings.
The number of migrant family members arrested and
charged with illegally crossing the border jumped 38 percent in August and is
now at a record level, according to DHS.
Senior administration officials say they are not
planning to revive the chaotic forced separations carried out by the Trump
administration in May and June that spawned an enormous political backlash and
led to a court order to reunite families, but they feel compelled to do something as
officials say senior White House adviser Stephen Miller is advocating for
tougher measures because he believes the springtime separations worked as an
effective deterrent to illegal crossings.
Recall at least 2,500 children were taken from their
parents over a period of six weeks. Crossings by families declined slightly in
May, June, and July before surging again in August. September numbers are
expected to be even higher. Some inside the White House and DHS are concerned
about the “optics and political blowback of renewed separations,” but Miller is
determined to act.
Now the specifics about
Miller to review who he really is as I said from the man who knows him best –
his uncle:
First of
all, Trump and Miller want to make us believe that these desperate migrants are
an existential threat to the United States; the most powerful nation in world
history and a nation made strong by immigrants.
Trump and Miller
both know their immigrant and refugee roots. Yet, they repeat the insults and
false accusations of earlier generations against these refugees to make them
seem less than human.
Trump
publicly parades the grieving families of people hurt or killed by migrants,
just as the early Nazis dredged up Jewish criminals to frighten and enrage
their political base to justify persecution of all Jews.
Almost every
American family has an immigration story of its own based on flight from war,
poverty, famine, persecution, fear or hopelessness. Most of these immigrants
became workers, entrepreneurs, scientists, and soldiers of America.
Most damning
is the administration's evident intent to make policy that specifically
disadvantages people based on their ethnicity, country of origin, and religion.
No matter
what opinion is held about immigration, any government that specifically enacts
law or policy on that basis must be recognized as a threat to all of us. Laws
bereft of justice are the gateway to tyranny.
Today others
may be the target, but tomorrow it might just as easily be you and your family
seeking to join you in America.
As free
Americans, and descendants of immigrants and refugees, we have the obligation
to exercise our conscience by voting for candidates who will stand up for our
highest national values and not succumb to our lowest fears.
How do I know a lot about Stephen Miller? Because I am
his uncle, writes David S. Glosser.
