“”Stephen Miller, a child's answer to the prompt "draw Squidward from memory".

—Last Week Tonight

“”Anybody who says that [I am racist] is an ignorant fool, a liar and a reprobate who has no place in civilized society. It is a scurrilous and scandalous lie born of a complete and total lack of understanding of the harms done by uncontrolled migration to people of all backgrounds, and born of a contempt for this nation, for our law enforcement officers and for the citizens who live here — and oftentimes, I might add, born of a personal grudge against this administration.

—Stephen Miller

“”[...]the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

—Hermann Göring at the Nuremberg trials

Stephen Miller (1985–) is a right-wing nativist political activist, and an all-American, only-American (no furriners allowed!) asshole who served as the senior adviser to Donald Trump.

Early career and rise to Donald Trump adviser

Miller first found fame (in what ended up being a stopped clock moment) defending members of the Duke Lacrosse team from a false rape charge, since he was one of the few people not directly connected to the team doing so at the height of the media frenzy rushing to judgment against them. Unfortunately, similar to Richard Spencer, this merely groomed him for a future career as a nativist wingnut. Propelled from the exposure from this case, Stephen Miller hooked up with then-Senator Jeff Sessions (as communications chief) and aligned with the Breitbart media machine, gaining considerable editorial influence with the site's editors. These qualifications were "good enough" for President Trump to promote him to the senior adviser position in his administration… where unswerving loyalty and a shared viewpoint on icky brown and black people "immigration policy" made Stephen Miller one of the longest lasting Trump staff members not biologically related to Trump.

Career under Donald Trump

As senior adviser to the president, Stephen Miller played a key role in shaping Trump's immigration policy. His influence shaped attempts to impose a travel ban on certain Muslim countries as well as an attempted cancellation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a program that allows some undocumented children to received a work permit and defer deportation. Miller unsuccessfully tried to push the Trump administration for a complete ban on student visas for Chinese nationals, and Miller was one of the key driving forces behind Trump's policy that led thousands of children to be separated from their parents at the Mexican border. Overall, Miller is considered one of the key figures of Trump's hard-line immigration policies.

Miller tried to justify the travel ban by using an analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies, a group designated as an extremist immigrant hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

In an attempt to come up with additional justification for all of this "immigration policy", Miller commissioned a study asking the Department of Health and Human Services to study the costs of refugee resettlement. When HHS came back with the answer (namely, refugee resettlement actually generated revenue, and the revenue generated by refugees in the form of local, state, and federal taxes exceeded the costs of resettling them by sixty-three billion dollars), naturally Miller ignored the advice in favor of being a loyal lapdog to Trump.

“”The President believes refugees cost more, and the results of this study shouldn’t embarrass the President.

—Stephen Miller, because in the Trump administration, facts don't matter.

Racist email leaks

While well known for his caustic nativism, the true depth of Miller's racism was clarified when the SPLC, together with Hatewatch, reviewed more than 900 private emails sent to Breitbart between March 4, 2015 to June 27, 2016. The conversations consisted of emails between Mr. Miller and former Breitbart editor Katie McHugh (who has since left the alt-right movement and regretted her participation in it).

Within the emails:

• Miller, upon hearing about Hurricane Patricia, used all of the empathy he had (read: none) in evaluating the situation, by speculating that: A) This would possibly drive a mass migration to the United States, and B) 100% of migrants would be granted temporary protected status (TPS), concluding: C) OMG PANIC!!!!!!!!!. To justify this position, Miller sent an article written by known pseudoscientific dickhead Steve Sailer, on the white nationalist website VDARE (a website well known to traffic in nonsense as The Great Replacement myth), with much hand-wringing over the TPS policy for no reason other than it involves foreign countries and immigrants. (Later emails show that Miller also subscribes to The Great Replacement theory.)
• As part of a general email chain where Miller espouses racist nonsense about immigrant "invasions" (with the usual puffed up bullshit about "violent crime" and "dropping SAT scores"), Miller recommended that Breitbart editor Julia Hahn read the book The Camp of the Saints, a dystopian novel known for racist, xenophobic, and anti-immigrant themes, and widely compared to the neo-Nazi novel The Turner Diaries.
• In another recollection, McHugh recalls how Miller recommended an article from notorious white nationalist site American Renaissance to discuss interracial crime. (Miller previously appeared on American Renaissance in his Duke University days, as an author of a Frontpage Magazine article that naturally transformed a story concerning a well-meaning, but poor, judgement call from a high school principal into some caricature-oriented screed regarding "The Left" and "political indoctrination". Within this screed was a bizarre rant, suggesting that acknowledging racism exists somehow can cause gang violence. Naturally, this article found favor with American Renaissance and was reprinted there.)
• Mr. Miller, in a series of emails concerning attempts to remove Confederate monuments, suggested that Breitbart focus on… how they should advocate removing Spanish flags and crosses due to (admittedly regrettable) Spanish conduct in colonial Latin America?
• In another email, Miller urged that Breitbart's coverage of the Umpqua Community College school shooting, perpetrated by Chris Harper-Mercer, a noted mentally troubled incel, should focus on his claimed "mixed race" heritage because of course they should.
• Other nutjobs that Miller attempted to source for Breitbart stories include Pamela Geller and Infowars.
• As a side note, other emails showed that Miller has a fascination with Calvin Coolidge… for his support for anti-immigration policies, of course.

Reaction to the leaked emails

The email leaks sparked many calls that Stephen Miller should resign, from:

• 107 Democratic House members
• 1 House Republican (Mike Coffman, R-CO)
• More than 50 national civil rights groups, including the NAACP and the Muslim Public Affairs Council.
• Many Jewish groups, including the Anti-Defamation League, the Union for Reform Judaism, J-Street, and others.
• Several anonymous DHS and DOJ officials, who view that Miller has turned their agencies into "personal tool[s] for hate."
• Even Fox News analyst Juan Williams called for Miller's resignation.

America First Legal

Miller founded the non-profit America First Legal in 2021, and is currently its president. The organization claims to be the long-awaited answer to the ACLU. AFL also wants to put an end to "anti-white bigotry". AFL has won court cases against government funding that reserved funding for historically disadvantaged groups (women, minorities and veterans). AFL has used the legal strategy of forum shopping, choosing jurisdictions where they are likely to have rulings under conservative judges.

Irony time!

See the main article on this topic: Irony

Miller was born into a liberal Jewish family in California, and didn't have conservative views until he read a book about how gun control sucks.

Miller was called out for being a hypocrite by none other than Miller's uncle, Dr. David S. Glosser, as one of Miller's grandfathers was a Belarusian immigrant. (Of course, this hypocrisy is no different than the hypocrisy of his boss).

Miller is not related to Mr. Steve Miller (eg the space cowboy, the joker, smoker, and midnight toker, who flies like an eagle and takes the money and runs), who currently, as a board member of Jazz at Lincoln Center, demonstrably has much better taste in music than Stephen Miller.^{[citation NOT needed]}
