This Is What a White Nationalist Administration Looks Like
Elections have consequences, and when white nationalists get elected, those consequences can be catastrophic.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday heard arguments on the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals program, an Obama-era program that shielded some undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children from deportation, as well as allowed them to work. DACA, as the program is known, is rooted in a sense of compassion, as well as by the idea that it’s unjust to deport people from the only country they’ve ever called home because — more than a decade ago — their parents didn’t have documents to cross the border into a nation of immigrants.
Trump, from whom compassion is anathema, has worked to end the program, but he has been stopped, thus far, by a legal battle has gone all the way to the Supreme Court.

Despite all this, there have, at times, been indications Trump would back off on his push to scrap DACA, either out of a fleeting moment of compassion or in exchange for policy concessions elsewhere. But when Trump got wobbly, there was always someone there to keep him committed to deporting de facto Americans. That someone is Stephen Miller, a Trump adviser and immigration hardliner.
What has Miller so excited about scrapping DACA? White nationalism.
