Stephen Miller May Be Trump's Greatest Asset, Certainly a MAGA Hero

White House Deputy Chief of Staff and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller is exactly who conservatives have always thought he was—the right guy for the job when it comes to deporting criminal aliens from our country. All the right people hate him. The bureaucracy. The media. The Democrats. The deep state. I believe those on the far left would spit on his grave, a reality I’m sure he revels in. Is Miller Trump’s greatest asset? You could make the argument that no one is more effective.

For true conservatives who have always wanted to see a secure southern border and mass deportations, he’s a dream come true. I’m frankly grateful he’s finally getting some time in the spotlight. Regardless of if you love or hate him, you have to respect his ability to get things done for the president.

To be clear, I’ve never met Miller. While I worked at DHS, we never directly crossed paths. What I’m stating comes strictly from being in the staunch conservative world for a very long time—I can tell you, behind the scenes, he’s been methodically working towards this moment. You may ask yourself, how do you know that? My answer is simple: Look at the results we are getting. Yes, Trump is leading the effort, and I give him all the credit. Since the moment he came down that escalator at Trump Tower, he’s made immigration a major issue. But, what we’re doing, in the way we’re doing it, does not happen without Stephen Miller. He has a steel spinal cord. He can dish it out and take it. He can embarrass the media at a moment's notice.

He’s on a mission. He doesn’t care about your feelings. Frankly, he knows more than all the media combined on this topic. Fox News’ Bill Hemmer found that out the hard way. The press has made up this false narrative, led by a rogue DOJ attorney, that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a criminal alien with ties to El Salvador gangs, has been wrongfully deported and must be returned. The Supreme Court has already stated (or, perhaps, heavily implied — the opinion could have been clearer) that the U.S. government cannot be forced to retrieve him. What sovereign nation would be dumb enough to bring back a criminal alien on purpose? Garcia had already received his walking papers to leave America and, like millions of others, didn’t. In an interview with Hemmer on Fox News, Miller laid waste to the entire narrative surrounding Garcia:

Hemmer: Number 1, DOJ said, “ A federal court cannot compel the Executive Branch to engage in any mandated act of diplomacy or incursion upon the sovereignty of another nation.” So your argument is that you don’t have to bring him back home. But will you?
Miller: So, I want to correct, I hate to do it, Bill, but I’ve got to correct you on every single thing that you said 'cause it was all wrong. First, we won the Supreme Court case clearly, 9-0. A district court judge said, unconscionably, that the president and his administration have to go into El Salvador and extradite one of their citizens, an El Salvadorian citizen - so that would be kidnapping - that we have to kidnap an El Salvadorian citizen against the will of his government and fly him back to America, which would be an unimaginable act and an invasion of El Salvador's sovereignty. So we appealed to the Supreme Court, and it said - clearly, no district court can compel the president to exercise his Article II foreign powers … In 2019, he was ordered deported. He has a final removal order from the United States. These are things that no one disputes. Where is he from? El Salvador. Where is he a resident and citizen of? El Salvador. Is he here illegally? Yes. Does he have a deportation order? Yes. A DOJ lawyer who has since been relieved of duty, a saboteur, a Democrat, put into a filing incorrectly that this was a mistaken removal. It was not. This was the right person sent to the right place.

I understand the quotation segment is very long, which points to the depth at which Miller understands this topic. In the video, Hemmer is clearly frustrated after being corrected so abruptly and methodically. It’s not just Fox News that got it wrong, just about every major outlet should be printing retractions on this topic.

Here is Miller correcting the Associated Press:

The leftist media despises you and the truth. An illegal alien gang member and citizen of El Salvador is not a “Maryland Man.” And when a foreign alien terrorist is removed to his home soil he is justly and righteously deported. https://t.co/VYhmkXxeBP

As I stated above, I’m not trying to fluff Miller's pillow. I do thank God he’s on our side—the left does not have someone the likes of him on their side. His star rising is not by accident. Up 2-0 during the 2009 NBA finals, Kobe Bryant was essentially asked why he wasn’t smiling. His response: “What’s there to be happy about? Job's not finished. Is the job finished? I don’t think so.” Stephen, if you’re asked about the Trump Administration’s success at the border, take the Kobe approach.

Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
