Stephen Miller, the fearless Trump advisor and architect of America First immigration policies, dismantled a left-wing reporter’s attempt to smear the Trump administration’s deportation efforts. The reporter, clearly pushing a biased narrative, tried to frame the administration as cruel for deporting illegal alien mothers—ignoring the fact that these individuals broke U.S. law and that many, like the Honduran mother in question, requested deportation for themselves and their children.
The reporter smugly asked, “Is it the best use of the administration’s resources to be going after moms of young kids, basically?”—a classic leftist gotcha question designed to paint Trump’s enforcement policies as heartless. But Miller, refusing to play along, flipped the script and exposed the absurdity of the media’s open-borders agenda.
Miller’s Devastating Response: “Do you yourself have an opinion on this subject? What percentage of the, let’s just pick an even number of say, 10 million illegal aliens. Let’s say that Biden released, I think it’s close to 20 million. Let’s say he released 10 million illegal aliens into the country over the last four years. What percentage do you think we should let stay here of those 10 million?”
The reporter, flustered, shouted back, “I’m not trying to do a game!”—proving that the liberal media can’t handle it when their own emotional arguments are turned against them. Miller pressed further: “Is it your view that if a Democrat president releases 10, 15, 20 million illegals into the country, they all then should get to stay forever and for all of life?”
The reporter, unable to defend the disastrous Biden border crisis, deflected: “Stephen, I don’t have a view about what Democratic presidents do. I’m asking what the Republican president…”
Miller, unrelenting, shut it down: “Okay, so you don’t want to answer the question because you know the answer is obvious. Everyone that Biden let in has to go home. Of course. It’s a crazy thing to even ask. You think we should give administrative amnesty to some subset of the illegals that Biden [let in]?”
He then delivered the knockout blow, reaffirming Trump’s commitment to law and order: “ICE is going to continue to focus on raids against high-threat criminal aliens. We’re going to use the entire force and power of the federal government to get them all home. Many will choose also to leave voluntarily and take advantage of the CBP Home app. But we are not going to ask taxpayers to subsidize the presence of a single illegal alien in this country.”
🚨 MAJOR SMACKDOWN ALERT: Stephen Miller does it again. Fake news reporter in utter shambles.
REPORTER: "Is it the best use of the administration's resources to be going after moms of young kids, basically?"
This exchange perfectly encapsulates the media’s hypocrisy. They feign concern for illegal aliens while ignoring the catastrophic consequences of open borders—soaring crime, drained resources, and the erosion of American sovereignty. Meanwhile, President Trump and his administration are the only ones serious about protecting American citizens and enforcing the law.
Trump administration officials were preparing to send a quarter of a million troops to the U.S.-Mexico border before former Defense Secretary Mark Esper shot the plan down, Esper said in an interview airing Sunday. Former Trump advisor Stephen Miller was behind the effort to deploy 250,000 troops to the border to mitigate the flow of migrant caravans, Esper said during an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” about his upcoming book. Esper said he was ultimately able to kill the plan after getting Gen. Mark Milley involved.
“It’s just so absurd. I can’t even consider it. I mean, again, we don’t even have 250,000 troops to send to the border. And to do what? It’s just ridiculous,” Esper said.
Esper was in the Oval Office waiting for President Trump with Miller when he first heard of the idea, which he said shocked him.
“We’re in a meeting waiting for the president to come out. We’re standing around the resolute desk, and he’s behind me and this voice just starts talking about caravans are coming and we need a quarter million troops,” Esper said.
“And I think he’s joking. And then I turn around and look at him and these dead pan eyes. It’s clear that he is not joking,” he added.
"We had developed a plan, initial concept of how [sending 250,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border] might happen. And I was just flabbergasted," former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper tells @NorahODonnell.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was equipped to handle such an occurrence at the border, Esper said, telling Miller at the time that he didn’t even have the requested troops for the effort.
“And so I say something like, ‘well, look, DHS can handle whatever caravans are coming up. They’ve done so in the past. And he says, he repeats, ‘no, we need a quarter million troops.’ And I just turned squarely around to him, face him and say, ‘I don’t have a quarter million troops to send on some ridiculous mission to the border,” he said.
The plan was already in the works at the Pentagon when Esper talked with Milley, Esper said.
“I was just flabbergasted that not only was the idea proposed, but that people, people in my department were working on it,” Esper said.
However, the plan “died” after Esper directed Milley to tell the Pentagon’s Northern Command “to cease and desist.”
“It was dead. And it died, as it should,” Esper said.
Neither the Pentagon nor Miller responded to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
Democrats are so in the tank for open borders and the importation of illegal aliens that they are even working themselves into a froth to protest the deportation of illegals convicted of violent crimes against Americans.
Left-wingers are furious this week over the recent increase in deportations initiated by the newly ensconced Donald J. Trump administration. They were mollified somewhat over the last four years by Obama’s increasingly lower number of deported illegal aliens, but now that Trump is in charge, more attention is being brought (properly so) to the job of deportation being ignored by the Immigration department through most of Obama’s 8-year reign of terror on the nation.
First some numbers. While it is difficult to get hard and fast numbers a CNN report from 2015 said there are nearly 75,000 people in U.S. prisons who are not legal citizens. Also at that time authorities had issued detainer requests for over a million illegals (these are requests issued to hold an illegal for deportation). And during Obama’s reign from 2010 to 2014 at least 121 illegals were released from immigration only to end up arrested for murdering a U.S. citizen. Ten years ago, another report found that 12 Americans are murdered by an illegal alien every day.
As you can see from these numbers, it would seem Americans are in far more danger from illegal aliens than from Muslim terrorists. Despite this obvious danger to Americans, in his last term in office President Obama refused to deport a whopping 820,000 criminally convicted illegal aliens and simply released them right back into the U.S. population to prey on all of us. Of that 820,000 illegals, fully 690,000 had serious convictions such as drunk driving, drug dealing, rape, and murder.
Thanks to Obama’s hands off, open door policy, Jessica Vaughan, the policy director for the Center for Immigration Studies, testified that, “Established gangs have been able to transfer an unknown number of experienced foot soldiers from Central America to help colonize new criminal territory in the United States.”
Now we have the age of Trump just fairly beginning and our immigration officials are finally not being held back by Obama’s anti-American edicts. One of the first things Trump did was dump Obama’s very unpopular U.S. Border Patrol Chief Mark Morgan. Members of the border patrol hated this guy because he repeatedly said he supported amnesty (then later denied it) and was 100 percent in favor of Obama’s destructive immigration policies. Only days after he took the oath of office, Trump told Morgan to resign.
Not long after Morgan left his post, Trump also fired Daniel Ragsdale, Obama’s director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. On January 30 the ICE director was replaced by Trump appointee Thomas D. Homan. By the second week of February, the number of deportations began to move upward instead of downward as they have been for the last five years… and the liberals are screaming bloody murder.
This weekend a mass protest against Trump’s new deportation policy sprung up in New York City. For a change the New York Police Department didn’t treat these un-American disruptors with kid gloves and the ones blocking the road ways were slammed to the ground and arrested. One protester said Trump’s new deportation regimen is meant as a “fear tactic.”
Ask Kate Steinle’s family where the fear is coming from after she was murdered by an illegal alien in “sanctuary city” San Francisco.
Naturally there were violent, hate-filled signs — many professionally printedto prove the protest is not a spontaneous, true reflection of sentiment — to go along with this anti-American protest…
The Trump administration, of course, rightfully notes that deporting these criminal aliens saves lives.
According to the Washington Examiner, Stephen Miller, the president’s policy director, said, “the cases that I’m familiar with…have to do with removing criminal aliens, individuals who have criminal charges or convictions against them. And that’s what’s been taking place all across the country. And the effect of that is going to be saving many American lives, American property and American safety.”
“The bottom line is this: in the calculation between open borders and saving American lives, it is the easiest choice we will ever have to make,”Miller added on Face the Nation on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Trump’s policies are also finding favor among the law enforcement community and the wild, unsupportable claims by liberals are being lampooned. Recently sheriffs from around the country voiced ridicule of claims by Democrats that these illegal, lawbreaking “sanctuary cities”actually help illegals feel comfortable enough to report crimes to local police. Many sheriffs find the claim absurd.
“National Sheriffs’ Association executive director Jonathan Thompson, who represents a wide geographical range of law enforcement officers, said he has never seen any statistics indicating that illegal immigrants are a significant source of information for police,” the Washington Examiner reported.
“I’ve not even seen anecdotal evidence,” Thompson insisted. “The sad thing is that [the Democratic claim] suggests that people here are aware of criminal activity and are not reporting it. We have to give them specific dispensation so that they’re reporting crimes? … I find the irony thicker than anything I can cut with a knife, that somebody here illegally is going to report a crime.”
“It’s a whisper campaign. You tell a lie once it goes around the world in 20 seconds,” Thompson concluded. “I think it makes a nice soundbite. It’s nice for some in law enforcement who want to believe that all criminal aliens want to support local law enforcement. That may be true, but I don’t know of any statistics … that suggest that this is a wealth or reserve ocean of confidential informants.”
The Examiner found several other sheriffs who thought the left’s claims were absurd, as well.
We are seeing the federal government swing back in the favor of making America great again. Let us hope liberals prove unable to put a hitch in this drive.

Sen. Sessions: Take TPP Off The Fast Track And ‘Get Busy Defending The Interest Of The American People’ [screenshot via Youtube]
Donald Trump has hired a top aide to Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions (AL – R) for his presidential campaign, a sign that the Republican front-runner would continue focusing on the issue of immigration in a general election. Before accepting the job as a senior policy adviser to Trump, Stephen Miller served as communications director for Sessions. He announced his hiring in an email to friends and colleagues.
The Alabama senator advised Trump on immigration as the candidate developed a policy paper on the subject. Trump also held a rally last year in Sessions’ hometown of Mobile, Ala., where the senator took the stage and briefly donned a “Make America Great Again” hat.
Sessions has not yet endorsed anyone in the race.
“I’M IN HEAVEN!”conservative commentator Ann Coulter tweeted in response to Miller’s hiring after it was reported by The Washington Post.
“He’s not backing down on immigration,”Coulter, who holds similar views on the topic as Sessions, said of Trump.
