Okay, not specifically him, but he’s the driving force behind it. He doesn’t care about immigrants. He wants them gone, by any means possible. He doesn’t care that they are people, as well as their circumstances. Sends them back to the home country that they fled and figures they’ll be deceased in the near future, so America doesn’t have to worry about them. Send them to countries where they have nothing, no knowledge, no family.
This guy is one piece of work. Rabid about immigrants to the point of terrorizing them. Get them out so he doesn’t have to concern himself or America with them. He’s the one who set the number of immigrants to deport. ICE is having a good time with this. Abusive doesn’t describe it sufficiently. But the guardrails have disappeared, so they can do what they want with no pushback, no slap back, just turn them loose.
This is not America. “Give me your tired, your poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” Not anymore. When did this change? Why did this change? How did we get to this point in our country? Miller has spoken, and he is the law of the land. Trump is just being helpful. To Miller, that is. “We’re going to give DHS a whole bunch of money so they can hire more thugs and get these immigrants out of here!” They’re grabbing US citizens and immigrants working towards being legal. That’s easy. Just wait by the courthouses. Isn’t this just grand? (Nope.)
With gratitude for Raw Story:
A little-known State Department agency called the Office of Remigration is paying hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars to authoritarian governments around the world in exchange for accepting deportees who have no connection to those countries whatsoever, wrote Greg Sargent for The New Republic on Thursday.
“It’s really sleazy, ghoulish stuff,” wrote Sargent. “The administration has authorized or pledged over $400 million for such agreements with more than 30 countries, mostly in Africa and Latin America. As the Post reports, the deals place many migrants in countries to which they have no previous connections, and are structured to skirt‘human rights safeguards‘ that typically are built into U.S. foreign assistance payments abroad.”
How about dem apples? We’ve had hints of this, but didn’t know the full extent of the deportations. Now we do, and it is disgusting. Illegal immigrants get stuffed into a plane, then dumped with nothing for themselves. Last we heard, they were dropped off with just the clothes they were wearing, and not a damn thing otherwise. We know in some of the countries that their life expectancy is very, very short. Bonus for Miller: their families will have no idea where they are or if they’re still alive.
Stephen Miller doesn’t consider the immigrants to be people. He sees them as trash that has to be rid of as soon as possible. And if some American citizens get caught in the sweeps? Oops. The color of your skin is wrong. Are you bilingual or trilingual? You don’t talk correctly, and so on and so forth. There are (impossible) quotas. He’s so prejudiced and disgusting that the earth must hate the ground he walks on. For a bonus, his wife is just as bad as he is. She detests immigrants, too, and is not quiet about it.
How can people stand themselves like this? It had to have been a conscious choice. Or the choice was made for them at a very young age by their parents and whoever else was around. Or they had a random “bad” sort of thing and decided they hated them all. They’re just numbers. They aren’t people, and that’s the justification for what they do. Stephen Miller is an arrogant, repulsive man. There’s no way to understand him, and no way about trying. It will be damn good when he’s taken out of his position in 2028. Let’s hope he fades away. Please.
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that, of all the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
“ Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor – I’ll piss on ’em
That’s what the Statue of Bigotry says
Your poor huddled masses, let’s club ’em to death
And get it over with and just dump ’em on the boulevard.”
