THE ADVISER WHO SCRIPTS TRUMP’S IMMIGRATION POLICY

With unswerving loyalty, Stephen
Miller has singular control of an
issue central to the presidency

And the chilling parallels that echo Germany in the 1930s.

“Night of the Broken Glass” = Trump’s Immigration Raids

The horrors at the border are the result of Steven Miller’s singular agenda to make America a homogenous (European) genetically pure society & in so doing destroy any vestige of the rich multiculturalism we enjoy now.

Hitler’s 4-Step Process for Dehumanizing the Jews

1. Prejudice
2. Scapegoating
3. Discrimination
4. Persecution

We are at step four....😱

The Trump adm Labor Dept announced a new proposal aiming to give religious employers who seek federal contracts broad freedom to hire and fire workers.

The rule “authorizes discrimination in the name of religion.”

Race, gender, disability, LGBTQ, etc.

washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/…

Make no mistake all of us are targets for the Trump Administrations’s discrimination & dehumanization agenda unless you are a white male Christian.

The Next step will be a war amongst which Christian denomination will Rule above all others.

Remember Bannon has already taken aim against the Pope.

Miller’s Agenda via softened WaPo PR lens:

“Those close to Miller say he views his work as “saving American society,” that more “immigration control” can change the volume and profile of those coming to the United States.”

washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…

📌Miller secured tighter immigration rules that can DQ green-card applicants if they are poor or deemed likely to use public assistance, cutting off a pathway to US citizenship for those immigrants who cd become a burden on taxpayers, or “public charges.”

washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…

📌Miller views the public charge rule (above) as vital to his goal of reducing immigration, and he has told colleagues it will have “socially transformative effects” on American society. 😱

washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…

📌Short of a legislative path to achieve that goal, Miller views changes to the public charge rule as the next-best option, with the potential to “weed out” hundreds of thousands of applicants per year.

📌”Weed out” is another dehumanizing term.

washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…

📌It was Miller’s hard line stance that soured Trump on the slightly more moderate immigration bill known as “Goodlatte II” that some administration officials regarded as the best shot at hammering out a deal with Democrats.

washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…

📌Miller urged the president to end to the U.S. family-based immigration model, hich the White House calls “chain migration.” 

 “He [Miller] is not looking to get something done in a bipartisan way,”

washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…

Miller has pushed Trump to embrace wedge issues, such as late-term abortion, a transgender military ban and immigration, seeing them as cultural wars the president can win.

Bannon’s Culture War

https://twitter.com/karolcummins/status/1115404284630159361?s=21

🔑Right-wing populism armed Miller to wage a culture war against what he viewed as an empty multiculturalism.😱

📌Note: RW populism propaganda preys on one’s FEARS, while LW populism propaganda preys on one’s EMPATHY.
washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…

This is chilling: ...

“He’s burrowed down into the apparatus to make fundamental change,” Bannon said in an interview.

“People don’t even see a lot of the stuff he’s working on.”

Horrors I’m sure..

Dehumanization leads to atrocities against humanity.

washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…

🔑Last spring, with border crossings rising, Miller helped devise the “zero tolerance” prosecution effort with then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Sessions adviser Gene Hamilton.
washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…

🔑Miller is obsessed, current and former administration officials said, with boosting deportations.😱

🔑”He is singularly focused on how to get people out of the country,” a former senior administration official said.😱

washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…

📌At times when others have hesitated to implement Miller’s directives, he has questioned their loyalty and encouraged the president to cut them loose. #Mob
washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…

📌While some in the administration fret over images of squalid and inhumane detention conditions at the border, Miller has argued that they, too, are a deterrent — and that publicizing them is not a bad strategy.

📌Get that? Inhumanity is the goal.
washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…

📌Miller has installed handpicked political appointees across DHS, including several who were staffers at restrictionist groups such as the Federation for Immigration Reform (FAIR).
washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…

What is FAIR?

FAIR’s founder, John Tanton, has expressed his wish that America remain a majority-white population: a goal to be achieved, presumably, by limiting the number of nonwhites who enter the country.
splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…

🔑One of the group’s main goals is upending the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which ended a decades-long, racist quota system that limited immigration mostly to northern Europeans. FAIR President Dan Stein has called the Act a “mistake.”
splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…

🔑Miller rarely puts anything in writing, eschewing email in favor of phone calls.
washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…

Miller’s allies in the immigration restrictionist movement — those who are seeking to curb the number of foreigners coming to the United States — say he has done more than anyone to advance their cause.😱
washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…

Yes the Trump administration’s policies are an epic nightmare & utter horror show.

When will this be over?

If we are here now, “Night of the broken glass” stage, can you imagine how many more of us will be harmed before 2020?

May the indictments rain down, pretty please?

@threadreaderapp unroll pretty please.
