White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller flew into an anti-migrant tirade on Fox News Friday, blaming immigrants for nearly every so-called problem in Los Angeles — from crowded ERs and schools, to drug deaths and violent gangs.
Miller condemned the ongoing resistance to immigration enforcement efforts in Los Angeles, describing the city's approach as "a campaign of insurrection against the federal government." He went on to share his vision of how LA could transform.
"What would Los Angeles look like without illegal aliens?" Miller began. "You would be able to see a doctor in the emergency room right away, no wait time, no problem."
Healthcare worker here. That's not how it works.

"Your kids would go to a public school that had more money than they know what to do with," he continued, claiming, "Classrooms would be half the size. Students who have special needs would get all the attention that they needed."
FALSE: "You kids would go to a public school that had more money than they know what to do with."

Schools get federal funds based on number of students and attendance.
Miller went on to assert that eliminating the migrant population would end gangs, drug deaths, and eliminate the presence of fentanyl.
"That could be the future," Miller said, accusing LA leaders of instead choosing to form "an alliance with the cartels and criminal aliens."
Where have we heard that getting rid of the scapegoat will make everything better before?

Critics were quick to denounce Miller's sweeping comments as both factually baseless and openly racist.
Even if you believed 10% of L.A. was illegal, that would be a 10% reduction in numbers. How does he think that would cause you to go to no wait times. Or half the class size? Stop lying to the public.

The rant was condemned as a dangerous attempt to scapegoat a specific population for complex social issues, with commenters branding the remarks "vile," "racist," "delusional," and "Nazi rhetoric."

A longtime architect of some of Trump's most hardline immigration policies, Miller's "fantasy land for white nationalism," as one user called it, echoes Trump administration talking points amid efforts to meet aggressive deportation goals.
