Thread: VIDEO: White House Press Conference with Stephen Miller on Immigration

The White House Press Conference featured policy advisor to President Trump, Stephen Miller. He outlined the proposed immigration changes, the biggest in fifty years. Merit based, English is priority, ability to support oneself, end to chain migration, reduction in numbers.

Stephen Miller took questions and it became lively when CNN's liberal reporter, Jim Acosta, took swipes at the clarifications and changes being sought for green card immigration and the reduction in numbers. He, like so many others, falsely made a connection between the Statue of Liberty and the poem later written and attached to it. It was great to hear someone make the distinction as Stephen did today. The Statue was a gift celebrating liberty not unfettered immigration.

Stephen Miller also asked, "Do you at CNN really not know the difference between green card policy and illegal immigration?" He also cited a "cosmopolitan bias" with Jim Acosta.

See Trump Backs Slashing Legal Immigration With ‘Merit-Based’ System


”The RAISE Act, which Cotton and Perdue introduced in February, would scrap the current lottery system to get into the U.S. and instead institute a points-based system for earning a green card. Factors that would be taken into account include English language skills, education, high-paying job offers and age.”


It is encouraging that President Trump has started the needed conversation concerning immigration reform that puts the interests of American Citizens above the interests of our Washington Swamp Creatures ___ some of whom have sold their soul to unpatriotic domestic corporations which demand cheap illegal entrant labor to increase their profits, while other Washington Swamp Creatures have a desire to increase the democrat voting block by importing the poverty stricken populations of other countries into America who will immediately be dependent upon government cheese and thus, can be expected to sell their vote to receive it.

American citizens are sick and tired of being made into tax-slaves to finance a maternity ward for the poverty stricken populations of other countries who invade America’s borders to give birth.

CNN's Acosta non-ironically cites Emma Lazarus as a critique of the Cotton-Perdue bill. Miller smacks him down.

Move Over Trump, Miller Takes Out ‘Fake News’ New York Times And CNN

August 2nd, 2017

WASHINGTON — White House senior adviser Stephen Miller battled reporters from The New York Times and CNN during Wednesday’s press briefing taking the reins from President Trump on the war on “fake news.”


Miller was at the briefing in support of the Raise Act, a Senate bill that would cut immigration by half over ten years and represent the most significant immigration reform in over half a century. The bill, which is sponsored by Republican senators Tom Cotton and David Perdue, would accomplish this by implementing a merit-based immigration system and largely ending the current practice of immigrants bringing over large amounts of family members.


New York Times reporter Glenn Thrush and CNN reporter Jim Acosta both were skeptical about the bill at the White House press briefing. Miller’s exchange with Acosta was the most fiery, with the White House adviser telling Acosta that his “cosmopolitan bias” is being exposed to a “shocking degree.”


Acosta had asked whether the legislation is in accord with the 1883 poem on the Statue of Liberty that states, “give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.”


“It doesn’t say anything about speaking English or being able to be a computer programmer,” Acosta said. “Aren’t you trying to change what it means to be an immigrant coming into this country if you’re telling them, you have to speak English when they get here?”





Miller pointed out that American citizens need to be able to speak English and added, “so the notion that speaking English wouldn’t be a part of immigration systems would be very ahistorical.” (OPINION: The Statue Of Liberty Poem Is Now A Weapon In America’s Culture War)


Acosta later interrupted Miller and asked, “are we just going to bring in people from Great Britain and Australia?”


“I have to say, I am shocked at your statement that you think that only people from Great Britain and Australia would know English. It’s all — it reveals your cosmopolitan bias to a shocking degree that in your mind — no, this is an amazing moment,” Miller shot back. The immigration hawk and former Jeff Sessions staffer continued, “Jim, have you honestly never met an immigrant from another country who speaks English outside of Great Britain and Australia?”


The mood in the briefing room was more tense than usual with a mix of laughter and angry muttering. This exchange came shortly after Miller was questioned by Thrush whether he has statistics to back up his claim that low-skill immigrants hurt American workers. Miller cited studies, yet this wasn’t enough to please Thrush, and Miller later asked, “Maybe we’ll make a carve-out in the bill that says The New York Times can hire all the less skilled, low paid workers from other countries and see how you feel about low wage substitution.”When White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders took the podium, she remarked, “That was exciting.”

Ann Coulter: ‘We need to clone Stephen Miller and appoint him to every cabinet position’

BY JACQUELINE THOMSEN - 08/02/17 04:54 PM EDT

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter on Wednesday lavished praise on White House adviser Stephen Miller during his appearance at the White House press briefing, calling it "the best moment of the Trump presidency since the inauguration."


Coulter, a longtime fan of Miller, said that “we need to clone Stephen Miller and appoint him to every cabinet position” in a string of tweets.


“The great Stephen Miller speaking at White House press conference right now. MUST SEE!!!!!!” Coulter first tweeted, going on to say that Miller was “eating press’s lunch” and “Experts say many people voted for Trump because they want Stephen Miller running the country.”



“I wonder if it would help if all Trump spokesmen were as smart as Stephen Miller,” she wrote.


Miller’s rare appearance at the podium was filled with heated exchanges with reporters about President Trump’s proposas to reduce the level of legal immigration. Miller told The New York Times’ Glenn Thrush that his newspaper should hire low-skilled immigrants and accused CNN’s Jim Acosta of a "cosmopolitan bias."


Miller also minimized the importance of the poem inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty welcoming immigrants, which he said was added after the statue was installed.


“Idiot reporter cites poem later added to Statue of Liberty as of [sic] it's a founding document, binding US government officials,” Coulter tweeted about the exchange between Miller and Acosta.

Just for the record and in case you didn’t know it, Emma Lazarus, who wrote those words was a well-known socialist and the “poem” was suggested to be used to raise funds to build the pedestal for the Statue of Liberty. Additionally, immigrants coming to America and passed the statute on their way to Elis Island were not granted entry into the United States for a number of reasons. Being an obvious public burden was one reason to be refused entry! In this respect President Trump is spot on with having a merit based immigration policy which takes into account the best interests of America's taxpaying citizens!

There was a time not too long ago in New York when the able-bodied were ashamed to accept home relief, a program created by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1931 when he was Governor. Now, New York City and many other major cities are infested with countless government cheese factions, many of whom are illegal entrants, who not only demand welfare, but use it to buy beer, wine, drugs, sex, and Lotto tickets.

I love Stephen Miller!

I enjoy listening to him speak and watching him make the liberals look like idiots.

These countries need to implement Global Population Control.

We do not want your violent, uneducated, poor, your diseases, and their 10 children...disgusting, quit breeding in the dirt!
