I recently heard a commentator suggest that Donald Trump could change the tone of immigration policy by basically muzzling Stephen Miller, because Miller appears to be the one calling the shots when it comes to these heavy-handed ICE raids and the growing unrest as a result of them.
Miller, it appears, has been an L7 weenie most of his life, and now, on the biggest of stages, he gets to finally confirm this for all to see. What we’re seeing in the Trump administration, when it comes to immigration policy, besides laziness and cowardice, isn’t restraint or fairness or anything approaching a reasonable treatment of the issue. Instead we get this deprived soul who calls murdered protesters domestic terrorists, conjures a goon squad, runs rough shod over peoples’ lives and livelihoods, dispensing “justice”, deporting people who have visas or are in the process of doing the right things to gain citizenship, who have families and are holding jobs and trying to free themselves from deplorable conditions in their home countries.
Sure, some who have been caught are illegals and criminals, but not all of them, and there seems to be little effort expended toward discerning the difference. The larger policy is one of zero tolerance and mistrust, a skewed understanding of “what is fair,” and an overarching suspicion and fear of people who aren’t white.
I wonder what happened in Miller’s early years that turned him into such a pariah.
And what are we to think of an administration whose platform’s appeal, in part, appears to reside in picking on people, kicking them when they’re down?
