71% Informative

Stephen Miller has spent the past decade trying, with obsessive zeal, to rid the United States of unauthorized immigrants.

Miller was the architect of Trump ’s immigration policy agenda for his entire first term.

Trump and his allies’ recent demonization of Haitian immigrants comes straight from the Miller playbook.

Stephen Miller is a senior White House policy adviser.

He helped stoke the anti-immigration fervor of the Trump administration.

He was unshakably loyal to the president, and was effective at the White House .

Miller was fired in spring 2019 , when he engineered a purge of nearly all of DHS 's top immigration officials.

Miller 's main priority in the first term was to stop new migrants from arriving at the southern border.

Once the pandemic broke out, Miller seized on it to close off pathways for new legal immigration as well.

He pushed forward a rule denying green cards to legal immigrants who received public benefits or who might receive such benefits.
