Opinion | Julio Ricardo Varela: 'The White House aide with a direct line to immigration hard-liners will likely make things much worse for migrants.' - NBCNewsTHINK
That cabal, under quasi-intellectual names such as the Center for Immigration Studies, Numbers USA and the Federation for American Immigration Reform, has long lamented that the newest waves of immigrants are only making our country poorer, browner and dumber. They used to be so fringe, but their ideas have of late earned the praise of conservative think tanks like, once a proponent of actual comprehensive immigration reform, as well as Rep.
that his organization would have direct calls with the White House and that Miller was part of that conversation. In other words, an unelected aide not subject to Congressional confirmation has essentially been put in charge of White House immigration policymaking and enforcement, for a president that is encouraging law enforcement to ignore the law in an effort to bar terrified families from legally seeking asylum, all in deference to a secretive policy establishment broadly funded by wealthy Republicans.
There is no doubt that the Trump base will continue to praise the tough talk and tougher actions, and that anyone who speaks out against will be labeled as a socialist in favor of open borders. The myth of the criminal migrant was a winner in 2016 and clearly Miller and Trump think it can work the same way in 2020.
