"White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller posted on social media this
morning:
“Plenty of countries in history have experimented with importing a foreign
labor class. The West is the first and only civilization to import a foreign
labor class that is granted full political rights, including welfare & the
right to vote. All visas are a bridge to citizenship. In America, for
generations now, the policy has been that anyone who would economically benefit
from moving to the US can do so, exercise the franchise in the US and their
children, the moment they are born, will be full American citizens with all the
rights and benefits therein.”
After his call for a “labor class” excluded from citizenship and a voice in
government, Miller went on to reject the idea that Haitians living and working
legally in Ohio should be described as part of Ohio communities. Calling out
Democratic former senator Sherrod Brown, who is running for the Senate again
this year, for including them, Miller posted: “Democrats just flatly reject any
concept of nationhood that has ever existed in human history.”
History is doing that rhyming thing again."
