Miller Dismisses DACA in Emails, Mirroring Anti-Immigrant Extremists' Views

In emails to Breitbart News leaked to Hatewatch, Miller said DACA recipients would contribute to altering the country’s demographics by replacing Americans born in the United States. White nationalists often promote the idea of the “great replacement” in their propaganda. Manifestos linked to terror suspects have cited this idea to justify acts of violence.

Anti-immigrant groups created by the late John Tanton also have advanced the theory of demographic replacement, including the Center for Immigration Studies, the Federation for American Immigration Reform and NumbersUSA.

Miller discussed the subject of DACA as it relates to demographic replacement in a March 10, 2015, email while criticizing former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, then widely expected to be a top GOP candidate for president in 2016. Miller condemned his fellow Republicans on the subject of immigration and also birthright citizenship, which the 14th Amendment grants to those born or naturalized in the United States. Far-right extremists want to eliminate birthright citizenship outright.

“Demanding DREAMers be given citizenship because they ‘know no other home.’ That principle is an endorsement of perpetual birthright citizenship for the foreign-born,” Miller wrote in the email, using a term to describe DACA recipients. “Not only will the U.S.-born children of future illegal immigrants and guest workers be made automatic U.S. citizens, but their foreign-born children will too because, as [former Republican House Majority Leader Eric] Cantor said, ‘Our country was founded on the principle.’”

Miller added in the same thread: “Jeb [Bush] has mastered the art of using immigration rhetoric to sound ‘moderate’ while pushing the most extremist policies.” In a follow-up email, Miller referred to Bush’s desire to use “immigration to replace existing demographics.”

Miller similarly brought up DACA again in a June 29, 2015, email:

“[President Barack Obama’s] DACA amnesty remains in effect, which provides illegal youth (one of the single strongest pull factors for entering and remaining illegally) with both work permits and generous free cash tax credits,” Miller wrote to Katie McHugh, then a Breitbart editor, with the subject line “The Immigration Surge,” warning of the growing “foreign-born share” of America’s workforce...

I need miller to stop writing dumb emails to dumb breitbart and their dumb followers and get back to work.

His work is described as "losing miserably and failing to get anything done."

Everybody works against us

Trump, Miller, UWD

Only Obama was for us

Am I missing something? What does he mean by: "generous free cash tax credits"

I guess that if we pay taxes, we get the same deductions as citizens.

Not Trump. Miller and UWD definitely are the biggest obstacles.

Trump selected Miller to be part of his team, meaning Trump implicitly supports, backs, and is willing to implement whatever Miller says in his ear. Anytime Trump says he will do something for us, what he really means is he will hold us hostage in exchange for something.

It is to our benefit that DACA ends, and republicans descend like vultures to strike deals and eat carrion.

Yeah, 2Face. Why hasn't Trump just fired Miller?

No don’t you get it? It’s UWD and the democrats fault. Not trump who hired Miller, who purposely picked Miller, who can actually fire Miller

Get them all out. It is too bad for them that their parents (or other questionable family members) chose to break the law, and they were too young to have a say in it. But so many of them are now late 20's and up and the smallest percentage has actually started the process to become citizens. Which the majority doesn't want to do because it would REQUIRE self deportation and then application for citizenship which still takes years to complete. They don't want to leave because their parents are still here, illegally, and they don't want to shine a spotlight on them so the parents would be deported. They also don't want to give up the welfare, etc they have enjoyed for all these years.
