White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is encouraging red states to cut public funding to educational initiatives that benefit the children of undocumented migrants, according to a report.

Miller, well known as an immigration hardliner, challenged Texas Republican lawmakers during a four-hour meeting in Washington last week about why they had not already introduced a bill to that effect, according to The New York Times.

“Do we have a RINO problem in Texas?” he asked, using an acronym MAGA conservatives employ to disparage moderates within their own camp, which stands for “Republicans in Name Only.”

        You’d be surprised how many of the young men joining ICE are not white

          I’m more shocked than surprised, because gestures to enslavement of non-white people throughout history. You’d think that what’s happening with ICEstapo and the Turd Reich would radicalize these young men in the opposite direction enough to bring about the second coming of the Black Panthers, but I guess right-wing radicalization has proven its ability to capture people who Trump and his cronies wouldn’t even piss on if they were on fire.
