second only to the Duce, himself.
Stephen Miller on "Face the Nation," December 16, 2018
MILLER: Well obviously there's no change immediately in Obamacare.
There hasn't been a nationwide injunction.
Obamacare was ruled to be unconstitutional.
We've always known that Obamacare was unconstitutional.
The more important question is whether Democrats are going to work with Republicans once Obamacare is ultimately struck down, which we believe it will be, to come up with a replacement plan that protects preexisting conditions.
Helps the 28 million Americans who because of Obamacare still don't have access to health insurance and keeps prices low through robust competition.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So to be clear there, you're predicting that this goes to the Supreme Court and that the Supreme Court ultimately strikes down?
MILLER: I believe that's the likeliest outcome . . .
. . . .
MARGARET BRENNAN: --you're a key voice on, and that is immigration and also want to talk about the possible shutdown here.
One very particular case here, this seven year old migrant girl who passed away.
She was a migrant from Guatemala named Jakelin Caal.
She died some hours after passing into U.S. territory while she was under the protection of Customs and Border Patrol.
Who bears responsibility for her death?
MILLER: Our hearts break for the tragic death of the 7 year old girl.
The loss of that precious life is. Horrifying.
It is a painful reminder of the ongoing humanitarian tragedy that is illegal immigration and the misery that it spreads.
A coyote dropped off one hundred sixty three migrants in an extremely remote section of New Mexico.
Those individuals were found by border patrol who, many cases act as first responders.
In fact Border Patrol saves about 4,000 lives every single year.
Unfortunately hundreds die on the dangerous trek up.
Smuggling organizations profit off death and misery.
They are vicious, vile organizations.
And it's time that both parties had the appropriate level of outrage over the fact that these organizations--
MARGARET BRENNAN: Border patrol though says--
MILLER: --continue to take advantage
MARGARET BRENNAN: it wasn't adequately equipped to deal with the record number of families coming across. Why aren't they?
MILLER: One of the great tragedies that is going on in our country today is the loopholes in our immigration laws and the deficiencies in our immigration laws.
And left wing, activist judicial rulings that incentivize the most vulnerable populations to come to our country. Last year--
MARGARET BRENNAN: And the administration--
MILLER: --a hundred thousand--
MARGARET BRENNAN: --hasn't been able to deter them from making that trip.
MILLER: --last year- last year- a hundred thousand unaccompanied alien children or children traveling with adults showed up at our southern border.
MILLER: President Trump took dramatic action, issued an executive order directing illegal traffic to the ports of entry, but a left wing, activist judge issued a reckless nationwide injunction on the president's order putting thousands of lives at risk and further enriching these grotesque--
MARGARET BRENNAN: And a- a record number--
MILLER: --heinous, smuggle organizations.
MARGARET BRENNAN: --continue to cross. I want to quickly get to--
MILLER: The only way to-
MARGARET BRENNAN: --because we're going to run out of time--
MILLER: The only way--
MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to get to this question the border wall which I know you're a huge advocate for.
We are about five days from a potential government shutdown and Republican leadership says there's no plan.
What is the president's plan and will he shut it down to get this 5 billion in border wall funding?
MILLER: We're going to do whatever is necessary to build the border wall to stop this ongoing crisis of illegal immigration--
MARGARET BRENNAN: And that means a shutdown?
MILLER: This is a- this is a very- if it comes to it, absolutely.
This is a very fundamental issue.
At stake is the question of whether or not the United States remains a sovereign country.
Whether or not we can establish and enforce rules for entrance into our country.
The Democrat Party has a simple choice, they can either choose to fight for America's working class or to promote illegal immigration.
You can't do both.
