Miller takes the cake

I once rated FBI Director Kash Patel as the worst pick among Donald Trump’s inner circle of advisers … but I’ve changed my mind.

The new “leader” that category happens to be an individual who wasn’t confirmed by the Senate, but he sure has Trump’s ear. He is senior White House adviser Steven Miller. And the more I hear from this moron, the more likely he seems to be cementing his place among the infamous cabal of folks who are advising the POTUS.

Miller is reportedly working policies that demonize immigrants. Not just those who are here without documentation. But all of them. Every single person who is born in another country, but who comes to the United States voluntarily to build a life for themselves and those whom they love.

I take such policy bastardization seriously. I am the grandson of immigrants. All four of my grandparents settled in the United States not knowing a word of English. My maternal grandfather might be the lone exception, as he had been a merchant sailor and traveled the world. I am going to suppose he picked up a bit of English on his worldwide voyage. The rest of them? Not a word.

They didn’t make a fortune once they got settled in. My grandmothers didn’t work outside the home. They had their hands full keeping the families in order. Mom’s father ended up running a bakery in Portland, Ore. Dad’s father ran a shoeshine stand also in Portland. But they paid their taxes. They played by the rules and between both sets of grandparents, they produced 10 children, all of whom contributed greatly to this nation.

So, for dipshits like Steven Miller to want to shut the door on future immigrants who want to settle in this land is to deny this great country the opportunity to expand on its greatness. Every president prior to the Numbnuts in Chief has recognized the value of the diversity that immigration brings to the United States of America. He is being fed a line of BS from Stephen Miller who insists wrongly that immigrants are to be shunned and not welcomed.
