When Your Family Disowns You, But ICE Still Embraces You
While it's genuinely noteworthy that family members, like his uncle Dr. David Glosser and cousin Jason Glosser, publicly condemned Stephen Miller’s hardline immigration policies, citing his 'cruelty' and 'authoritarian leanings,' this personal drama obscures a more critical truth. The mainstream media fixates on whether his own flesh and blood approve, rather than dissecting how policies described
as 'xenophobic' by his relatives became foundational to a White House administration. Miller's family saga makes for good copy, but it's a convenient diversion from scrutinizing how such figures, despite public backlash and familial estrangement, gain and wield immense power shaping national policy. One might wonder why the US government grants such individuals the actual power to enact policies
seen as inhumane by their own kin, rather than focusing on the personal discomfort of a single family. This isn't about Miller's Christmas dinner; it's about who gets to make policy on asylum, detention, and border security, especially when those policies echo a history of fear-mongering against immigrants from generations past. The narrative choice to humanize the family's pain over the systemic
impact of his policies is telling.
