Stephen Miller wages war on the GOP’s libertarians

by Emily Brooks - 06/10/25 8:00 AM ET

Stephen Miller is leading a public war against the Republican Party’s libertarians as he reframes the “one big, beautiful bill” to being the key that unlocks President Trump‘s mass deportation agenda.

Going mainly after libertarian-leaning lawmakers such as Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who have brought up concerns about the megabill’s deficit impact, the White House deputy chief of staff — and chief architect of Trump’s immigration agenda — is taking a sledgehammer to what remains of the libertarian-conservative fusionism that was prominent in the party pre-Trump.

“The libertarians in the House and Senate trying to take down this bill — they’re not stupid. They just don’t care,” Miller said in an interview with conservative activist and commentator Charlie Kirk last week.

“Immigration has never mattered to them; it will never matter to them. Deportations have never mattered to them; it will never matter to them. You will never live a day in your life where a libertarian cares as much about immigration and sovereignty as they do about the Congressional Budget Office.”

We’re in a post-empathetic society. I call it YerOnYerOwn-istan.

4. libertarians support unregulated immigration because they love cheap labor

people like Miller keep immigrant labor cheap by terrorizing them

That is why both groups are in the Republican party
