Stephen Miller is credited with聽shaping聽the聽racist and聽draconian immigration policies聽of President Trump, which include the zero-tolerance policy, also known as family separation, the Muslim ban and ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Miller has also 鈥溾�� government agencies of civil servants who are not entirely loyal to his extremist agenda, according to a report in Vanity Fair.

And during the COVID-19 crisis, the Trump administration鈥檚 decision to halt the issuance of new green cards is yet another example of its hard line on immigration.

Through the conscious use of fearmongering and xenophobia, Miller implements policies which demonize immigrants, regardless of their immigration status, in an apparent effort to halt all forms of immigration to the United States.

In response to seeing photos of children being separated from their parents at the U.S. border with Mexico as a result of the zero-tolerance policy, an external White House adviser, in a Vanity Fair report, said, 鈥淪tephen actually enjoys seeing those pictures at the border.鈥� 聽According to Miller, the administration鈥檚 decision to institute the policy was 鈥渁 simple decision.鈥�

Through his connections to the anti-Muslim movement, Miller landed his first job in聽Washington, D.C.聽as a staffer on Capitol Hill.聽In less than a decade, Miller would go from a congressional staffer to an adviser to the Trump campaign.

During this time, Miller influenced the editorial direction of the highly trafficked conservative website Breitbart.com, sharing white nationalist and anti-immigrant propaganda with their editors in an effort to buoy Trump鈥檚 run, according to leaked emails reviewed by Hatewatch. His role in the campaign included crafting then-candidate Trump鈥檚 nativist immigration platform, writing campaign speeches as well as being the opening speaker during rallies.

At a June 16, 2016, campaign rally in Dallas, Miller鈥檚 speech made clear the campaign then-candidate Trump was going to run and foreshadowed the nativist policies Miller and the administration would eventually pursue.

In speaking about the impact of undocumented immigrants in the U.S., Miller said, 鈥淵ou鈥檝e seen what it does to living standards. You鈥檝e seen what it does to wages. You鈥檝e seen what it does in terms of transnational cartels. You鈥檝e seen what it has done to the innocent victims of illegal immigrant crime 鈥� You have seen the death. You have seen the needless destruction because we can鈥檛 secure this border.鈥�

Miller鈥檚 use of the state to vilify聽immigrants has led to calls for his resignation. After Hatewatch鈥檚 investigative reporting verified Miller鈥檚 white nationalist perspective, more than 80 Democratic members of Congress called for his resignation. Opposition to Miller and his agenda have also surfaced within the rank-and-file civil servants who are charged with discharging the administration鈥檚 policies.

In his own words

鈥淚t was a simple decision by the administration to have a zero-tolerance policy for illegal entry, period. The message is that no one is exempt from immigration law.鈥� June 16, 2018, Miller鈥檚 response to criticism of the administration鈥檚 former 鈥渮ero-tolerance鈥� policy, also known as family separation

鈥淭he fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive. Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost? Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders? Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it?鈥� July 6, 2017, Remarks by President Trump to the People of Poland, drafted by Miller

鈥淭he powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned.鈥� Feb.12, 2017, Miller during an appearance on CBS鈥� Face the Nation

Born in 1985,聽Stephen Miller聽grew up in Santa Monica, California and attended Santa Monica High School from 1999 to 2003. 鈥淢iller鈥檚 evolving political views could not have been more at odds with those of progressive, inclusive Santa Monica, a fact in which he delighted,鈥� wrote Vanity Fair special correspondent William D. Cohan. Additionally, former classmates of Miller recall how he would challenge Latino students to speak English and argued against multi-language school announcements, according to a National Public Radio report on Miller鈥檚 early years. 聽

Miller started working with far-right hate groups while studying at Duke University. He worked聽with the David Horowitz Freedom Center, an anti-Muslim hate group, organizing events such as聽an聽鈥淚slamo-Fascism Awareness Week鈥� on Duke鈥檚 campus. He also served as the first national coordinator of the Center鈥檚 鈥淭errorism Awareness Project.鈥澛燭o Miller, the project existed to 鈥渕ake our fellow students aware of the Islamic jihad and the terrorist threat, and to mobilize support for the defense of America and the civilization of the West.鈥澛�

Miller also聽worked with classmate Richard Spencer, as members of Duke鈥檚 Conservative Union. The pair organized a speaking event which brought white nationalist Peter Brimelow to campus in 2007. Brimelow is the founder of the white nationalist group VDARE, which regularly publishes the work of eugenicists, nativists and other extremists. Spencer is arguably the most notorious white nationalist figure in the U.S. 聽He is credited with popularizing the term 鈥渁lt-right,鈥� and was scheduled to serve as the headline speaker at the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017.

In a 2016 interview with Mother Jones, Spencer confirmed his relationship with Miller, saying, 鈥淚 knew him very well when I was at Duke. But I am kind of glad no one鈥檚 talked about this because I don鈥檛 want to harm Trump.鈥�

Similar to his behavior in high school, Miller enjoyed taking controversial stands while at Duke. When three players on the university鈥檚 lacrosse team were accused of raping a Black woman they hired as an adult entertainer, Miller fervently questioned whether the issue of race played in a role in the case, according to an April 14, 2017 article in New York Magazine.

In one of his biweekly columns for the campus newspaper, Miller argued, 鈥渋f you find yourself in the presence of a student who insists the lacrosse players are a bunch of racist criminals and that the players are guilty no matter what the evidence says 鈥� put them in their place.鈥� He continued, 鈥渋f you don鈥檛, I will.鈥�

Goodbye Durham, N.C., Hello Washington, D.C.

Miller鈥檚 first position within聽federal聽policymaking circles began聽when he served as press secretary for former Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann聽in 2008. During her time in Congress, Bachmann openly聽peddled聽anti-Muslim conspiracy theories, specifically pushing the unfounded聽claim that the Muslim Brotherhood had infiltrated the U.S. government in pursuit of 鈥淎merica鈥檚 demise.鈥澛犅�

Bachmann later聽claimed to have served in聽an advisory聽role to then-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump聽on foreign policy. According to Bachmann, Trump, 鈥渞ecognizes there is a threat around the world, not just here in Minnesota,聽of radical Islam.鈥澛犅�

In聽2009,聽Miller transitioned to a聽communications role with then-Sen. Jeff Sessions.聽While serving in the U.S. Senate, Sessions, of Alabama, was one of the anti-immigrant movement鈥檚 strongest allies聽and regularly cited reports produced by anti-immigrant hate groups such as the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).

Both organizations聽were founded by聽the late聽John Tanton, a聽eugenicist, white nationalist and聽the聽architect聽of the modern anti-immigrant movement. Tanton鈥檚 views on immigration were best summarized in a Dec. 10, 1993, letter聽where聽he聽concluded, 鈥淚鈥檝e come to the point of view that for European-American society and culture to persist requires a European-American majority, and a clear one at that.鈥澛犅�

During his time with Sessions, Miller became known for sending mass emails on immigration to fellow Republican staffers. According to one Republican staffer who spoke with The New Yorker, Miller鈥檚 immigration-related emails regularly shared links from 鈥渇ringe websites,鈥� so much so that the staffer admitted, 鈥淚 just started deleting them when I鈥檇 see his name.鈥� 鈥淓veryone did,鈥� the staffer added.

In the spring of 2013,聽Miller and Sessions played a key role in聽ensuring the failure of a comprehensive聽immigration bill introduced by a bipartisan聽group of senators聽who became known as the Gang of Eight.聽The聽bill聽sought to聽provide聽a pathway to聽citizenship聽for聽undocumented immigrants聽while increasing border security.聽聽

To聽orchestrate the downfall of the bill, Miller used聽Breitbart聽News as a聽space where he could propagate his anti-immigrant ideals.聽The ideas and stories聽Miller聽suggested to Breitbart聽centered on one goal:聽decimating the Gang of Eight bill.聽

While the bill ultimately failed for a variety of reasons, Steve Bannon, then the head of Breitbart News, lauded Miller and Sessions鈥� role in stopping the bill, likening it to 鈥渢he civil-rights movement in the nineteen-sixties.鈥澛燬essions went on to serve as attorney general of the United States from 2017 to 2018.聽

Miller鈥檚 emails to Breitbart News

From March 4, 2015, to June 27, 2016,聽Miller, at the time a staffer in Sessions鈥� office, and聽subsequently聽as聽an advisor聽to then-presidential candidate Trump, sent聽over聽900 emails to Breitbart News editors.聽Katie McHugh, a former editor at Breitbart聽News from聽April 2014 to June 2017,聽who has since renounced the far-right, leaked the emails to 人兽性交鈥檚聽Hatewatch聽in June 2019.聽聽

The emails show evidence of Miller鈥檚聽indulgence and sharing of聽the racist source聽material he relied upon to define the ethos of his immigration policies.聽Throughout the emails, Miller聽promotes literature, conspiracy theories, and policies supported by white nationalist and anti-immigrant hate groups.

In a聽Sept.聽6, 2015, email to Breitbart鈥檚 McHugh,聽Miller suggested聽that they write about Jean Raspail鈥檚, 鈥淭he Camp of the Saints,鈥� a racist聽French聽novel popular among white nationalist and聽neo-Nazis.聽The novel聽is聽popular within extremist circles because of its聽dramatized聽depiction of 鈥渨hite genocide,鈥� also referred to as the 鈥済reat replacement鈥� conspiracy聽theory. According to this theory, white people of European descent are being systematically displaced in the Western world.鈥澛犅燱hen Raspail died in June 2020, VDARE author Steve Sailer, who Miller linked to in his emails to McHugh, publicly mourned his loss.

The novel utilizes an apocalyptic plot聽in which Indian refugees invade France,聽and their failure to assimilate or adopt French cultural norms ultimately leads to the domination of the white population.聽The main antagonist is referred to as the 鈥渢urd eater.鈥澛營n one section聽of the novel, a white woman is raped to death by a group of brown-skinned refugees.聽Additionally, another part of the novel depicts聽the killing of a pro-refugee聽leftist聽by a nationalist聽character聽because of the leftist鈥檚 support of race mixing.聽

Miller recommended that Breitbart write about the novel聽in response to Pope Francis鈥� expressions of sympathy聽for聽refugees. Miller wrote, 鈥測ou see the Pope saying west must, in effect, get rid of borders. Someone should point out the parallels to Camp of the Saints.鈥澛犅�

Several of the emails show Miller鈥檚 admiration for former U.S. President Calvin Coolidge, particularly Coolidge鈥檚聽implementation of the Immigration Act of 1924. Coolidge,聽a supporter of eugenics聽who once wrote, 鈥渂iological laws tell us that certain divergent people will not mix or blend,鈥澛爄nstituted the bill to severely limit immigration from certain parts of the world. According to James Q. Whitman, the Ford Foundation professor of comparative and foreign law at Yale Law School, Hitler聽pointed聽to Coolidge鈥檚 Immigration Act of 1924聽in 鈥淢ein聽Kampf鈥澛燼s聽a potential model to be replicated.聽聽

During聽an聽Aug. 4, 2015 email聽exchange聽about halting all immigration to the United States聽for several years,聽Miller highlights聽Coolidge as an example to聽follow.聽In the email, Miller聽responded聽to the policy suggestion, which was made on a right-wing talk radio show,聽by holding up the historical precedent set by Coolidge, writing, 鈥渓ike Coolidge did. Kellyanne Conway poll says that is exactly what most Americans want after 40 years of non-stop record arrivals.鈥澛犅�

The聽emails also revealed how聽Miller聽engaged in peddling anti-immigrant conspiracy theories and nativist content.聽One of McHugh鈥檚 stories for Breitbart, 鈥淭ed Kennedy鈥檚 Legacy: 50 Years of Ruinous Immigration Law,鈥澛爑sed聽the 50th聽anniversary of the聽Hart-Celler Act of 1965聽to聽portray the legislation as harmful to the U.S. because it did away with racial quota laws.聽聽Unsurprisingly, Miller was the story鈥檚 brainchild. On March 30, 2015,聽he聽suggested the story聽idea聽to McHugh, emailing: 鈥淭hey opened the Ted Kennedy Center today in Boston. Another opportunity to聽revisit the 鈥�65 immigration law.鈥澛犅�

After聽the publication of McHugh鈥檚 story, Miller聽praised it and聽explained聽why Breitbart was the only news media outlet covering the topic.聽According to Miller: 鈥淓lites can鈥檛 allow the people to see that their condition is not the product of events beyond their control, but the product of policy they foisted onto them.鈥澛燭he 鈥済reat replacement鈥� conspiracy theory聽Miller espoused聽in his email is聽also聽embraced by white nationalist who believe that whites are being purposefully replaced in the U.S.聽聽

Along these lines, Miller steered McHugh in the direction of content from other white nationalist websites such as American Renaissance. Founded in 1990 by Jared Taylor, American Renaissance is a self-proclaimed think tank which propagates pseudoscientific claims about the supposed inherent inferiority of nonwhite people. Taylor, in 2005, claimed, 鈥渂lacks and whites are different. When blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western civilization 鈥� any kind of civilization 鈥� disappears.鈥�

Miller, who in a private phone conversation referred to the white nationalist site according to its nickname 鈥楢mRen ,鈥檃ccording to McHugh, flagged an article about crime statistics and race titled, 鈥淣ew DOJ Statistics on Race and Violent Crime.鈥� The piece, which was written by Taylor, went on to celebrate the Department of Justice鈥檚 decision to categorize Hispanics separate from whites and Miller advanced the piece as one to be cited when Breitbart covered race and crime.

Similarly, an analysis聽of the emails shows how Miller consistently 蝉丑补谤别诲听肠辞苍迟别苍迟聽from聽CIS聽to聽highlight negative stories about nonwhite immigration.聽On Jan. 5, 2016, he shared a CIS report titled, 鈥淪ocial Security Data Points to Growth in 2nd-Generation Muslim Population.鈥澛燞e then, on Aug. 12, 2015, suggested that McHugh read another CIS鈥� report, 鈥淚mmigration Population Hits Record 42.1 Million in Second Quarter of 2015.鈥澛犅�

Miller鈥檚 promotion of these reports led directly to McHugh publishing聽articles聽titled, 鈥淩eport: Dramatic Increase in the Number of U.S. Babies Named Muhammad,鈥� and 鈥淪urge of Mexican Immigration Pushes Foreign-Born Population to 42.1 Million as Economy Stagnates.鈥澛燯sing racist source material from anti-immigrant hate groups, and their subsequent publicity, Miller deliberately employed scare tactics to stigmatize聽the U.S.鈥� immigration population.

In addition to electronically distributing CIS聽content,聽Miller聽went as far as personally connecting McHugh to CIS鈥� director of research, Steven A. Camarota. An Aug. 12, 2015,聽email to McHugh聽with the subject line, 鈥淐amarota Cell,鈥澛燿id just that.聽Just a few months prior to the August 2015 email, Miller attended a CIS award ceremony in May and聽as the keynote speaker lauded CIS鈥� work. Miller commented on how CIS鈥� work shed light on 鈥渁 debate that far too often operates, like illegal immigrants, in the shadows.鈥澛�

The Trump Campaign to the Present聽

On June 16, 2015, Donald Trump, from Trump聽Tower聽on Fifth Avenue in New York,聽announced his candidacy for President of United States聽with bigoted and bombastic remarks that foreshadowed the聽types of聽anti-immigrant policies聽his聽administration has since implemented.聽

In reference to immigrants coming from Mexico聽and other parts of the world, Trump asserted, 鈥渢hey鈥檙e bringing drugs. They鈥檙e bringing crime. They鈥檙e rapists. And some, I聽assume, are good people.鈥澛燭rump added: 鈥淚t鈥檚 coming from all over South and Latin America, and it鈥檚 coming probably 鈥� probably 鈥� from the Middle East. But we don鈥檛 know. Because we have no protection and we have no competence, we don鈥檛 know what鈥檚 happening. And it鈥檚 got to聽stop聽and it鈥檚 got to stop fast.鈥澛犅�

Trump鈥檚 words and sentiments strongly resonated with聽Miller's fundamental beliefs on immigration聽and nonwhite immigration to the U.S. Miller later reflected about聽sensing a 鈥渏olt of electricity to my soul,鈥澛燼nd that for the first聽time, he felt 鈥渁s though everything that I felt at the deepest levels of my heart were for now being expressed by a candidate for our nation鈥檚 highest office before a watching world.鈥澛犅�

By January 2016, Miller took a leave of absence from then-Senator Jeff Sessions鈥� office to join the Trump campaign.聽

During the campaign, Miller served as a speech writer for Trump聽after Bannon recommended him to senior Trump campaign officials. Bannon believed Miller鈥檚 experience working on immigration policy in the Senate made him聽an asset聽because of the campaign鈥檚聽hyper focused聽attention on the issue.聽Bannon viewed Miller as an integral cog in the Trump campaign machine, saying, 鈥測ou just can鈥檛 wing it. Immigration is too important. You need policy people on this.鈥澛犅�

Following Trump鈥檚 victory in the 2016 Presidential election, Miller聽became a聽senior policy adviser to the president. Since stepping into this position,聽he聽has聽been the driving force behind many of the administration鈥檚聽draconian immigration policies.聽These policies demonstrate the significant influence that anti-immigrant hate groups have had on Miller.聽聽

In a Buzzfeed News report, one Department of Homeland Security official lamented the fact that his agency has become Miller鈥檚 personal laboratory for enacting nativist measures. 鈥淚'm disgusted that my venerable agency has turned into his personal tool for hate,鈥� the official remarked.

One of the dehumanizing administration policies Miller advanced was the 鈥渮ero-tolerance鈥� policy, a聽policy which caused a surge in the number of children and parents聽being聽separated from one another when caught crossing聽into the U.S. via聽the U.S.-Mexico border.聽聽

According to The Washington Post, despite public outrage over the policy, 鈥淢iller defended the separations and had encouraged the president to enact them 鈥� telling others in the West Wing they would prove to be a migration deterrent.鈥澛燚ue to the immense blowback of the policy, President Trump ended its practice but as of August 2019, but Miller continued to defend it.聽

Despite President Trump鈥檚 executive order ending the policy, the administration has continued to utilize covert practices to continue separating families at the U.S. border, as 人兽性交 recently reported.

The implementation of the Trump administration鈥檚 Muslim ban聽is another policy Miller played a fundamental role in creating. The聽policy,聽known聽formally聽as the聽鈥淧rotecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States,鈥澛燽anned entry of聽travelers聽from several聽majority-Muslim countries.聽The ban faced legal聽scrutiny聽upon聽release,聽and it was not until 18 months after its聽initial聽release, and three versions of it later, that the order withstood legal challenges.聽聽

Another administration policy Miller focused his anti-immigrant fervor on was President Trump鈥檚 decision to cancel the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. President Obama created the program as a measure to protect聽from deportation undocumented immigrants聽who were聽brought to the U.S. as children. President Trump announced DACA鈥檚 termination on Sept.聽5, 2017, saying that 鈥測oung Americans have dreams too.鈥澛�

In the trove of emails analyzed by Hatewatch, Miller vocalized a belief in the idea that DACA recipients would聽advance the聽reshaping聽of the U.S.鈥� demographics by replacing native born citizens. On June 18, 2020, the Supreme Court blocked the Trump administration鈥檚 attempt to end the program in a 5-4 ruling.

Most recently,聽on April 21, 2020,聽The New York Times聽reported on how Miller and Robert Law, chief of the Office of Policy and Strategy for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), drafted President Trump鈥檚 executive order blocking the issuance of new green cards.聽The administration cited the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic as the reason for the newest executive order.

Both Miller and Law have well-documented ties to anti-immigrant hate groups such as聽CIS and FAIR.聽The Trump administration鈥檚 most recent actions shed light on how it intends to target legal immigration categories moving forward. Enforcing a complete moratorium on immigration is one of the long-sought after goals of both white nationalist and anti-immigrant extremists.
