United States Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller has identified the right group of Americans who are rightly entitled to reparations for harms resulting from bad government policies.
Over the years, the debate has ignited strong emotions from the left that believe children of former slaves were entitled to reparations based on race alone. U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass) even sponsored House Bill H.R. 40, dubbed the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act.
However, Miller threw a new wrench in the works by making a strong case for reparations for all Americans who have endured the negative effects of uncontrolled illegal immigration, whose harms, he said, could take more than a lifetime to enumerate.
Appearing on Newsmax, Miller responded to arguments that the deported alleged MS-13 gang member, Kilmer Abrego Garcia, should receive $1 million in daily compensation for each day he spent in his home country of El Salvador after Trump’s deportation.
“Where is compensation for Americans… where do they go to get their reparations?” Miller asked.
He listed various groups of Americans harmed by the former administration’s open borders policy. They include millions of schoolgoing children who can no longer learn to read and write because their schools need hundreds of translators to cater to non-English speaking learners, disrupting the entire learning process.
“We had an entire generation of Americans, multiple generations, in fact, have been robbed of educational opportunities,” Miller lamented.
Others qualifying for reparations due to unchecked illegal immigration include city residents who can no longer access basic services that have been overstretched by illegal immigrants. Urban dwellers who also have endured increased crime and have been internally displaced when foreign gangs, like Tren de Aragua, take over cities and apartment buildings, are also entitled to reparations.
“Entire cities. Look at Los Angeles…once a paradise of safety, security and prosperity, entire neighborhoods occupied and controlled by foreign gangs,” he added. “Where do all the residents who have been displaced, who have been forced out of Los Angeles? Where do they go to get their reparations?”
Similarly, victims of the immigration-fueled fentanyl crisis and angel parents of children killed by illegal aliens. Recently, Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen faced backlash after making grand gestures in support of the deported alleged MS-gang member while barely acknowledging one of the angel moms in his backyard.
At least 6 illegal immigrants, including an El Salvadoran national, have been convicted or accused of murder in Maryland, while over 13,000 alien murderers countrywide are living outside ICE detention. Maryland also peaked in fentanyl-related deaths in 2021 when Biden took over, with “Black individuals, males, and adults aged 31–60” mostly affected.
“What about the victims of fentanyl poisoning brought in by Democrats’ open border, hundreds of thousands of moms and dads whose kids are dead and buried in the ground,” Miller continued. “Where do they go to get their reparations from the government, and then all the women who have been raped, who’ve been beated, who’ve been murdered.”
Ironically, the Democratic martyr was twice accused of domestic violence by his American wife and slapped with a restraining order.
“[What about] All the dads who’ve been shot dead and our home? All the police officers who have been slain by illegal aliens in ambush attacks in the line of duty?” Miller asked.
Others include hundreds of thousands of childrens trafficked into the country, raped and assulted during the process and placed with unvetted guardians who could be their traffickers. According to Miller, all Americans are entitled to reparations due to decades of illegal immigration that have robbed the country of its wealth, prosperity, and security.
“We can spend the rest of our lives trying to document those harms,” he added.
“Where does our whole country go to get repaid for all of the wealth, all of the prosperity and security that has been stolen from us by decades of uncontrolled, illegal mass migration? Because we all deserve reparations…for what has been stolen from us.”
Ironically, Democrats do not demand compensation for scores of Americans illegally kidnapped and held in foreign hellhole prisons, including those still captured in Gaza by the Islamic terrorist group Hamas, without due process. Additionally, Democrats have been fighting to prevent the deportation of pro-Hamas demonstration organizers, who have declared war on Western civilization.
