White nationalist Stephen Miller has been busy executing plans to attack immigrants in lawful status.

This news, that more aspiring Americans will be deemed "public charge" and ineligible for citizenship, is making the rounds today.

Some thoughts:

First, these aren't new ideas. The Center for Immigration Studies is an anti-immigrant hate group born in white nationalism.

In 2016 they published a wishlist of 79 things a president could do to limit immigration.

Look at #60:

Second, consular officers overseas are already newly empowered to deny visas based on possibility of public charge even when there is a sufficient affidavit of support guaranteeing the US government repayment.

This will extend the policy stateside.

Third, this will have a chilling effect on new citizenship applications.

The idea is to drive people into hiding for later apprehension and removal.

The message: You do not belong here. You are not wanted. We'll find something to get you.

I've written about how the law is turning into shifting sands. What we see in other countries...where laws are suggestions to be weaponized against a target community.

Miller's proposal is another prime example: widening the definition of public charge to ensnare more people.

This is not about enforcement. It is not about the rule of law.

It is about ethnically purging the United States of America.

It is about white nationalism becoming policy.
