Stephen Miller spewing immigrant hate on my television.

Now on television promoting a racist immigration policy in the guise of what is good for America. Lying about immigrants to stir up the hate base.

He is the embodiment of everything I am against. I loathe this guy.

My grandparents showed up as young children with parents who had about $10 in their pocket and didn't speak a word of English. They worked as a longshoreman, a washing machine salesman, and typists. Among the next generation there were military veterans, doctors, lawyers, a Federal Judge, and IVY League graduates.

They were also members of a minority who were the targets of discrimmination and quotas.

The Trump administration is a lying hate machine. I am so ashamed to be an American in these times.

were not professionals, were very poor, and did not speak English when they came to America. They were most likely Eastern or Central European Jews running away either from the pogroms of the Russian Czar or the Nazis.

I have no respect for people who have forgotten where they came from.

this new Immigration bill will increase competition for American college grads exiting college, thus driving down the value of a degree in the US. Look for the number of under-employed Americans with degrees to go up. Bigly!

They're basically pushing for the equivalent of unlimited H1B visas.

turning blue due to the number of immigrants coming into the country and breeding. He's a vile , racist asshole but this is also about fear of a growing Democratic party.

Although I'm certain he lacks the warmth and charm that Goebbels must have had.

It's the same schtick Palin used: keep the ignorant WWC masses angry at the 'liberal elites' who want 'illegals' crawling all over their good old US of A.

Sick stuff. They'll push it until they're pushed out.
