Summary

Stephen Miller, former Trump advisor, called birthright citizenship a “financial scam” and national security threat during a Newsmax appearance.

He claimed, without evidence, that undocumented immigrants exploit it to access “unlimited welfare” and that foreign governments use it for espionage.

The Supreme Court will soon hear a case related to Trump’s executive order challenging birthright citizenship.

Miller dismissed the 14th Amendment’s intent, ratified in 1869 to reverse Dred Scott, and echoed extremist views like “remigration,” advocating for the forced removal of non-European immigrants regardless of citizenship.

    I’ll never understand what makes a person so belligerent, malignant, and just plain evil, from such a young age. From accounts of his former High School classmates, and even his own family, he’s always been this way.

    I know a guy with a similar personality. He’s a trust fund baby, and thinks he’s special. He’s condescending, and contemptuous, even though he lives off of the trust fund his mom set up for him. He’s in his mid 50’s, and his teeth are literally rotting out of his mouth. But, he’s the baddest badass who ever badassed, and everything he likes or owns is the best. Oh, and he’s also a Nazi. Hey bud, get your mom to buy you some new teeth. She bought you a house, and a car, and…

    I think these people feel so entitled that when they figure out no one likes them, instead of trying to correct their behavior like a decent peasant, they lean hard into being a piece of shit, because they’re “Special.” They’re not the asshole: WE’RE the assholes for not obeying them.
