Full Miller Interview: 'There's No Such Thing as Judicial Supremacy' 12:24
............Miller made it clear that Trump administration immigration policy will not just prioritize felonies but also misdemeanors in deportations.
"What would you say to a family member who lost someone they loved because an illegal immigrant who'd been deported two times and had a misdemeanor conviction was allowed to come back into the country a third time because that wasn't deemed a priority and they lost someone they loved?" he asked. "Would you say, 'Well, I'm sorry. It didn't meet our priority scale.' We're going to focus on public safety and saving American lives and we will not apologize for that." .....................

This has nothing to do with safety. This is all about him bullying our Mexican neighbors into paying for his stupid fence and tossing out people from nations that won't give him sweetheart land deals for building Trump hotels.

(5,268 posts)In the Chuck Todd interview on Meet the Press, Miller kept ranting about the drug dealers and murderers and violent criminals as the justification for cracking down on those without any felonies or violent criminal records, implying that they are potentially violent criminals too. Miller has long history of vehement opposition to immigration.

(23,946 posts)Sowing fear in America so that the fear can be exploited is as old as politics itself, but America has never seen this level of fear mongering ever, or the world since the 1930's by a major power.
