Trump aide Stephen Miller brags about policy ripping immigrant kids away from parents: 'It was a sim

Controversial White House advisor Stephen Miller bragged about President Donald Trump’s new policy of child separation as a “simple decision” during a West Wing interview with The New York Times.

“No nation can have the policy that whole classes of people are immune from immigration law or enforcement,” Miller told The Times.

“It was a simple decision by the administration to have a zero tolerance policy for illegal entry, period,” he claimed. “The message is that no one is exempt from immigration law.”

In May, New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay identified Miller as the leader of a White House faction intentionally inflicting harm.

“Let’s be clear, though, immigration has been an issue, a difficult one, a thorny one for the administration, but some of the stuff we’re seeing, the cruelty, is intentional,” Gay argued. “You know, this is a ‘Stephen Miller faction.’ That’s what’s happening.”

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) reached a similar conclusion.

There are no words or adjectives that explain what this Miller person is........................if it was his parents on the end of this , what would he say.........................but alas he doesn't think out of the box.................and put himself in those shoes, he puts on his rendition of racism shoes everyday and has no thoughts except to hurt another human being.................

It makes him happy.
Trump is kind of a sadist too-- I don't know how his fans can't see it.

Clearly, in Trump's America [tm], “whole classes of people are immune from immigration law or enforcement” (namely white-wing Christian males, as well as attractive females meant for breeding stock).

C'mon, Miller, get your story straight.

The problem here is the obvious cruelty in how those laws are being enforced. Why can the families not be housed together while they're awaiting hearings or processing for their asylum claims? Surely there must be a facility somewhere in the country that can be used to house them. If there isn't, how about let's build it, then? And not a "camp" but a proper facility, where family units can be kept together so children and parents aren't separated, where they get adequate nutrition and medical care, and are treated humanely while the paperwork gets sorted out?

The resources, money and otherwise, are available to be used so these people can be dealt with humanely and kindly. Clearly it's the will that's lacking, where the administration is concerned. No wonder the US is withdrawing from the UN Human Rights Council. Gettin' out while the gettin's good...

Miller will not be able to go out without body guards or a disguise. And one of these days someone will beat the fucking snot out of him. For his remaining days he'll be looking over his shoulder.

And why the masses dragged certain government officials out of their homes and ripped them to pieces. I don't condone it, but I understand it, especially after reading anything Miller has to say.

Being treated poorly by Belarus in the early 1900s. But let's not think about that group of immigrants or classes of people as miller calls them welcomed here with open arms. His whole family welcomed.

That says previous Administrations turned people with children over to the Immigration Department.

Trump is charging them with felonies, taking the children.

So much forTrump blaming Democrats.
