Stephen Miller's Role In The Afghan Immigration Mess

 

 

Amid the Republican- wired mainstream media's persistent narrative blaming the Biden Administration for the slow processing of Special Immigrant Visas for Afghan nationals, here's a fact that they'll never focus on or will quickly memory hole:

As the United States potentially abandons tens of thousands of Afghans who helped two decades of military and diplomatic efforts there to the mercies of the Taliban, a single person may deserve more credit than any other: top Trump White House aide and immigration foe Stephen Miller.

Miller, who worked for all four years as former President Donald Trump’s immigration adviser pushing restrictive policies across the board, was instrumental in slowing down the processing of Special Immigrant Visas (SIV) for Afghan interpreters, embassy staff and others who are now top targets for Taliban assassination, according to both refugee advocates and those who have worked with him.

“The seeds of the insanity that we’re seeing right now were planted in Stephen Miller‘s brain,” said Matt Zeller, a former Army officer who served in Afghanistan and co-founded the group No One Left Behind, adding that Miller is as much to blame for the deaths of interpreters and others as the Taliban themselves. “He’s complicit in their murders ... He’s brilliant at how evil he is.”  (our emphasis)

Yes, skeevy racist Stephen Miller, who had his hand in every decision involving immigration in the malignant former guy's assministration, including the children in cages policy. As the article notes, Miller is still engaged in whipping up anti- immigrant fear, claiming an influx of Afghan refugees resulting from the malignant former guy's pact with the Taliban would be dangerous for America (and that they don't deserve to be here anyway):

... [O]n Monday, he claimed that most of the Afghans arriving do not deserve the opportunity. “The vast majority of those being evacuated had no role in the U.S. war effort,” he wrote. “As I warned from the outset, Biden is using his disastrous Afghanistan exit — and a gullible media — as the pretext for large-scale resettlement of unvetted Afghan refugees throughout the U.S.”

Of course, the pathological liar must know that the refugees will be vetted before they arrive in the U.S. The critical need is to get as many, if not all, of the Afghans who must leave their country out now. Those that can be admitted to the U.S. are arriving, and those that await further processing are being housed abroad.

But, it all comes back to what former Army cavalry officer Spencer Sullivan said about Miller's role in jamming up the SIV program:
“My guess is that is in line with Stephen Miller’s policy of keeping brown people out of the country.”

Good guess.
