Stephen Miller, immigration hardliner, in his own words

Stephen Miller, Donald Trump’s immigration hardliner and a key architect of his first-term policies, is due to become White House chief of staff. His promotion gives greater influence to an aide associated with family separation at the US-Mexico border and restrictions on travel from several Muslim-majority countries.

The article illustrates Miller’s views through past statements on immigration, foreign policy, Greenland and birthright citizenship. He has called for mass deportations, questioned why the US should be involved in conflicts worldwide, and argued that Greenland should become part of the United States. After the Supreme Court blocked Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship, Miller condemned the ruling; he also called a nurse killed by federal immigration agents a “domestic terrorist”, despite footage described in the article showing the man being tackled and shot.
