Stephen Miller Can’t Make America White. LA Is Paying for His Impotent Rage

Donald Trump loves authoritarian theater, but let's not forget that Stephen Miller is also to blame for the violence and chaos in Los Angeles. Last week, the right-wing Washington Examiner reported that Trump's deputy chief of staff called a meeting with the top officials at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to "eviscerate" them for falling far short of the ridiculous goal he set of 3,000 deportations a day. In their desperation to keep Miller happy, ICE has already been targeting legal immigrants for deportation, mostly because they're easy to find, due to having registered with the government. ICE agents stake out immigration hearings for people with refugee status and round up people here with work or student visas for minor offenses like speeding tickets, all to get the numbers up. But these actions were not enough for Miller.

"Why aren’t you at Home Depot? Why aren’t you at 7-Eleven?” he reportedly screamed at ICE officials. One ICE leader protested that the agency's lead, Tom Homan, said they're supposed to be going after criminals, not people who are just working everyday jobs. Miller reportedly hit the ceiling, furious that arrests aren't widespread and indiscriminate. Trump has repeatedly implied he was only targeting criminals, but as Charles Davis reported at Salon, that conflicts with his promise of "mass deportations." Undocumented immigrants commit crimes at far lower rates than native-born Americans. The expansive efforts to find and arrest immigrants in California, which kicked off the protests, appear to be a direct reaction to Miller's orders to grab as many people as possible, regardless of innocence.

Miller's whites-only dreams aren't going to happen, though it's unclear if he's delusional enough to think otherwise. White non-Hispanic Americans are 58% of the population, according to the Census. That means nearly 143 million Americans — most of whom are citizens— fall outside the strict parameters of what white nationalists like Miller would see as "white people." Even if the Trump administration met its unlikely goal of deporting 11 million people, this would still be a racially diverse country by any measure. And it's becoming more diverse: the non-white population is younger and having more children.

If it feels gross to treat human beings like a math problem, that's because it is. But that's what we're dealing with: an administration, led by a would-be strong man and his little deputy, that can't engineer American demographics, no matter how hard they might try. MAGA Republicans flip out when liberals correctly point out that diversity is America's strength. But what really makes them crazy is knowing, deep down, that diversity is America's inevitability.

7. thanks for posting .

Though there are many other issues flooding our lives currently. That Bill Abominable Bill must be defeated. Call or send a message to your Senators and Reps to vote NO on this bill.

[prodigitalson]

3. the strict parameters of what white nationalists like Miller would see as "white people."

Well most white nationalists aren't like Miller.

Most white nationalist don't consider Miller to be white.

[Ursus Rex]

11. This is a key point.

The Latin Proud Boys or whatever sound like a contradiction in terms, but they exist, nevertheless, and are often the most eager to enact the policies. I have no idea what the answer is.

[prodigitalson]

20. Yeah, I stopped trying to figure it out

Jewish Nazi creates a lot of cognitive dissonance. But it's a thing.

[creon]

4. he cannot

on this planet, white people are a permanent minority

[enigmania]

5. Not that it matters to me,

but I'm as white as the mail and I despise that bastard.

[ananda]

9. Same.

I love diversity.

[Dulcinea]

18. Same here.

I don't dislike many people, but I loathe this vile Nazi ghoul.

[Demovictory9]

6. Kids under age 5 are majority nonwhite..

[ananda]

8. Yes, the absolute goal (and always was" is to make America white again.

It is insane beyond belief, but aren't all Hitler types insane?

[Kid Berwyn]

10. Stephen Miller looks white.

But WASPs know he’s no WASP.

How about treating each other as equals, like good people do?

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

12. Stephen Miller, Trump's senior advisor is a vile white supremacy wacko

Wacko racist

[robbob]

13. Treating unwanted populations like a math problem describes the Nazi regime to a T

The “work” camps were a perfect example: “how little food do we have to feed the inmates, and how hard do we have to work them such that the death rate will balance out with the new arrivals”. It was so cold blooded, it was monstrous. And that describes Stephen Miller to a T.

[IronLionZion]

14. He should deport himself to a whiter country since he's so unhappy here

Wait until he finds out how many of us are US born citizens. He'll come up with increasingly insane ways to get rid of us.

[turbinetree]

15. Stephen Miller is David Horowitz.............Stephen Miller is the second act of David Horowitz.............

[Pachamama]

16. Trump and Miller et al have lied about how many criminals who are undocumented are here

So they were left with no other option than to do what they are now - and grabbing “brown people”

The real agenda is emerging

[DSandra]

17. That won't stop Stephen Miller from terrorizing everyone who's not a non-hispanic white

They want to put non-whites in fear, and take away their ability to live and thrive.

[CapnSteve]

19. Stephen Miller gives all Steves a bad name...

He is the one who should be in jail for contempt, paying thousands a day for every deportee denied due process.

He needs to suffer for the Convicted Felon.

[RVN VET71]

21. I don't think Miller is "also" to blame. I think he is primarily to blame.

Trump is too disengaged because of his cognitive decline to plan anything. Miller and other inner-circle fascists are there for that. All Trump has to do is read, as best he can, the edicts and statements prepared for him by Miller et al.

Big Brother, remember, was dead before the beginning of 1984, but his posters were everywhere, and the Party used his image to keep everyone in line, including Party members themselves.
