“Black Americans’ fight for true reparations will not be co-opted and misappropriated for racist anti-immigrant fear-mongering operations,” said Dreisen Heath, a reparations researcher.
White House aide Stephen Miller argued that Americans who have been harmed by undocumented immigrants and immigration policies enacted by the Democratic Party should receive “reparations.”
Miller, who serves as President Donald Trump‘s deputy chief of staff for policy, appeared on Newsmax’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight” on Friday night, where he discussed the Trump administration’s immigration policies, which include the mass deportation of undocumented people living in the United States.
During the news segment, Miller said Americans should receive “reparations” for the “damages” as a result of crimes committed by non-citizens, including violence and drug trafficking, and the impacts on communities across the country.
“We had an entire generation of Americans, multiple generations, in fact, have been robbed of educational opportunities. Entire cities. Look at Los Angeles…once a paradise of safety, security and prosperity, entire neighborhoods occupied and controlled by foreign gangs,” said Miller, who was the architect of President Trump’s controversial family separation and travel ban policies at the U.S. border during his first term.

This is so stupid!
My favorite person in the Administration or I guess I should say “White House” - beside the president, of course. I really like Stephen Miller.
Put this at the top of the list of idiotic ideas.
Stephen Miller is the MAN!!! Making liberal heads explode with everything he says!
No it isn’t.
It’s genius.
I’ll put it at the top of the list of brilliant ideas.
Yup:
“Americans should receive “reparations” for the “damages” as a result of crimes committed by non-citizens, including violence and drug trafficking, and the impacts on communities across the country. “
It’ll never happen but its a way to further divide the democrat party...
THEY HAVE ALREADY LOST because they are now getting away from the promises and trying to trick you rubes (as well as the 'boos) with the shiny objects.
Just like the police will go to a political rally and arrest fatass stupid weakling white people wearing their fancy "goin' to the big city"-caliber "i bAcK tHe bLUE!" t-shirt and NOT the antifa troublemakers. Just like letting blacks burn down entire cities and police departments while going after conservawimps recording the event.
They are pivoting from the hard stuff and moving to easy promise making to placate you.
I disagree. What they should do is put a 25% tax on remittances to alients’ home countries. Same result, more cleanly arrived at
Really? Guess who pays reparations. All of us. Who gets reparations? Who vets it?
This idea is as dumb as slavery reparations.
He doesn’t mean it.
It’s a calculated rhetorical dig at Democrats and their support for racial reparations and redistribution programs.
Whatever happened to penalties on companies and people employing illegals?
No one talks about that.
You think??? Watching the level of posters go into seizures here who think it actually may happen is fun...
Blacks need to think this through. In the courts, reparations are sought to put the person in a position of financial indifference relative to pre- and post-event conditions. Then the question becomes what would be the economic condition of blacks had they not been brought to the US.
Most black slaves came from the areas of the Congo, Angola, and Gambia. So, take the average wage in those countries and compare it to average black wages here in the US, and do a present value analysis for 157 years and you’ll find that each black in the US owes all non-blacks in the US approximately $640,000+ in reparations. I still haven’t found out where to sign up for my check.
Thank you! It appears there are lots of literalists around here :-)
I’m with Miller. If you’ve been affected by these people reparations I think are the right way to go. I also want to throw in Covid reparations. Now that doesn’t mean that we’re going to bother any US citizens for Covid money. But we can sure lay a big one on China. Go big or go home.
““Black Americans’ fight for true reparations will not be co-opted and misappropriated for racist anti-immigrant fear-mongering operations,” said Dreisen Heath, a reparations researcher. “
Heath has no credibility since they do not honestly request also for reparations from Great Britain due to its role in slavery from 1619 to 1776 when the United States did not exist and these colonies were dominated by the crown.
It is not reparations, it is restitution. Victims of illegas should have a mechanism to be provided restitution and to be able to take those democrat authorities to court because it was their policies and decisions that created the damage to real US citizens.
As far as Dreisen Heath, he/she can just shove it. Reparations is a con game and black get rich scheme.
The open borders government failed to protect Kate Steinle. It really is as simple as that. Kate Steinle is dead because of government, full stop. It is all the government's fault. She was completely innocent.
Completely innocent, and did NOT deserve the death penalty.
