- Stephen Miller's ancestors fled anti-Jewish pogroms in Belarus and immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1900s, building a successful business.
- Miller's current immigration policies starkly contrast with his family's history, as he advocates for strict restrictions and echoes nativist rhetoric from the 1920s.
- Miller praises the 1924 Immigration Act, which severely limited immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe, and seeks to reverse the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act that ended ethnic quotas.
- His policies prioritize reducing immigration from non-European countries, cutting refugee admissions, and ending protections like Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
- Miller's worldview is influenced by ethno-nationalist thinkers like Pat Buchanan and Samuel Huntington, framing immigration as a threat to 'Western civilization.'
- Critics argue his policies ignore successful immigrant assimilation, undermine social trust, and could lead to economic decline due to workforce shortages.
- Miller's cousin, Alisa Kasmer, condemns his policies, highlighting the hypocrisy given his family's immigrant success story.
