Stephen Miller Gutted Visa Programs So Afghans Couldn’t Come To The US

Former Trump administration official Olivia Troye confirmed that Trump and Stephen Miller gutted the Special Immigrant Visa program so that Afghans couldn’t come to the US.
What I will say is this when it came to the topic of refugees especially, considering all the anti-immigration policies being executed under the Trump administration and everything that Stephen Miller propagated and pushed the refugee conversation was one of the toughest. It’s a known thing across the United States government across people who worked on the issue that we were walking on eggshells whenever weld have the discussion.

And these meetings were held working groups across the national security council where people have State Department DHS, many people were very vocal. The Pentagon especially was vocal about the S.I.V, P2 people, Iraqis people in Afghanistan who were helping our troops who still were waiting for years in the pipeline and then it slowly starts to slow down to a trickle.

That is because the resources on the program were being gutted and moved around elsewhere. Like I met with organizations. I met with refugee resettling organizations who work on the process. They would come to me and say, we’re not seeing the contracts. We’re not seeing the funding. What’s happening here?

And so there was a clear delineation of what was exactly going on which is why it’s so frustrating to me to watch these revisionist history narratives happening right now with some of these people that are pushing this rhetoric or saying that Trump would have solved the problem.

Elizabeth Neumann, who was also served in the Trump administration, backed up Troye’s characterization:

Good question.
"How did Stephen Miller get so much power and authority?"

Bannon?
Kushner?
Who was actually responsible for Miller being given the position of power that he was?

I'd like to know the answer to that question.

1. Stephen Miller is pure evil.

K&R

Loathsome.

5. Get that man before a committee!

7. I want him at the Congressional hearings

Lock him the fuck up

[Tadpole Raisin]

8. He did everything he could to sabotage the visa application process and the Biden

Administration’s ability to follow through on dealing with the Afghan war or anything else.

Scum of the earth!

11. And they delayed the transition where Miller's deals should have been documented for Biden to know

Remember her? It wasn't just the Covid stats she was tasked to keep the Biden Admin from knowing.
Emily Murphy, administrator of the Government Services Administration

"Trump appointee slow-walks Biden transition. That could delay the president-elect's Covid-19 plan.
"It's time for Donald Trump to put the national interest above his political interest," Obama's transition leader said."

13. Bingo. nt

9. Doubt you'll find CNN or ABC talking about this.

It's not in their interests to criticize their cash cows.

[GoCubsGo]

10. Because, of course he did.

Glad to hear Olivia Troye and others spilling the beans on this racist Nazi prick. I hope people are paying attention, although I doubt most are.

12. Miller is a racist POS. But seems the smart thing would have been to resolve the visa mess before

people were storming the airport, if they could get there.

[Budi]

15. I believe they really thought Trump would win the election.

Until he didn't.

[SKKY]

14. There are few people in this world who instill a burning...

...desire to punch them in the face more than Stephen Miller does in me. I would love to punch him, just once, right in his stupid, arrogant, racist face. Just once. Hard.

[Mr.Bill]

16. I'm assuming if some flunky like Miller

had the authority to do that, Biden has the authority to undo it.

[Budi]

17. & why Biden's squeezing the sanctions tighter & tighter on Vlad Putin

One turn at a time.
