Stephen Miller set to brief House conservatives

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Donald Trump and his allies are putting President Joe Biden’s sweeping immigration overhaul in their crosshairs.

The main salvo will be delivered this weekend when Trump is set to address the Conservative Political Action Conference and devote part of his speech to the topic. But days before then, the architect of Trump’s immigration policy, Stephen Miller, will discuss the issue with conservative House members as they organize their opposition to Biden’s planned changes to Trump-era immigration regulations and his recently unveiled blueprint for comprehensive immigration reform legislation.

Miller, whose opposition to nearly all forms of immigration earned him the admiration of Trump and the enmity of many others, will be joined at the Wednesday meeting by Tom Homan and Mark Morgan, two former top immigration officials, according to a person involved with the planning and first reported by The Hill. All three men played integral roles in enacting many of Trump’s most controversial immigration policies, including the separation of migrant children from their parents upon arriving in the U.S. without authorization.

The gathering was organized by the 147-member Republican Study Committee, a group of traditionalist conservative lawmakers that also has met recently with other Trump administration officials, including former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Fox News host Tucker Carlson. The group met with former Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday.

Might as well bray at the moon since we now control the levers of the Federal government. As an outsider, that NaziMiller may cause some havoc but he and Trump totally blew their chance by overreaching. The images of caged children, family separation, force repatriation and other draconian moves have seared sad immages in the minds of many Americans and as a result, they don't ever want a repeat of Miller's terrible antics.

this issue, twisted to "open borders" and immigrant violence, can win for them in 2022 and 2024.

and not let them get ahead of this.

are we tearing down the few measly miles of fence and replacing it with "drugs and rapists welcome, bring your children to the pizza shop" signs?

but we have a MSM that pushes right wing talking points. Have you noticed the shift since the election? I can't watch morning cable news. I agree that Dems need leaders who better explain their agenda and force the media to cover them. You know people like AOC who then get criticized by centrist Dems.

and we really need to hold the media to some semblance of parity.

sen klobachar should be on every sunday and sen warren should be on whenever a wacky republican "economist" starts sprouting theor nonsense. we will soon have plenty of new cabinet secretaries who should be happy to sell our programs.

traditionist conservative lawmakers almost made me puke. None of those 3 words apply, unless by traditionist they mean racist?
