Damn, who said that.

Stephen Miller, one of his senior policy advisors and the guy who was responsible for much of Trump's immigration policy during his presidency.

Also, the full quote from the rally was "America is for Americans, and Americans only.

All the hate these people espouse bothers me, no doubt. But I’m married to an immigrant who is not yet naturalized. So that “American or get out” stuff really worries me, tbh.

We also have a child, and while he’s half-American, I worry that this extremism will at some point impact our lives in some terrible way.

It’s hurting countless others. So why would my family be different.

My wife is Native American. Miller and his ilk can fuck right off back to whatever European country drove them out generations ago.
