Stephen Miller's uncle: Central American asylum seekers are 'just like our family'

Washington (CNN)The uncle of White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller said Friday that the Central American migrants seeking asylum are just like his Jewish ancestors who fled Europe and came to the US as refugees before World War II.

"They are just like our family," David Glosser told CNN's Alisyn Camerota in an interview on "New Day." "We needed to come here. We needed to find someplace to go and those that couldn't suffered the consequences."

President Donald Trump on Thursday announced that he'll sign an executive order "next week" aimed at restricting US asylum claims to legal ports of entry. The President has been warning of an "invasion" at the US border by the caravan of Central American migrants, who are still making their way through Mexico. He has sent US troops to the border and, without evidence, claimed that criminals and gang leaders are among the caravan travelers.

"We are getting no moral leadership from the President, who is happy to condemn these people who are like our family, like my family," Glosser told CNN.

Amazing. But then again, the rethugs cherry pick who they like and who they don't like. Hate Jewish George Soros but love Jewish Sheldon Addleson.
