Everyone, likely including the Trump administration itself, understands the racist roots of the word "remigration." Before it appeared in US politics, white nationalists coined the term and amplified it throughout Europe. So if everyone knows this, why has our government chosen to publicly associate with it?
The answer may be as simple as "Stephen Miller." Jared and Mike continue their coverage of the most consequential figure in our government, and the architect of its most sadistic policies, in a conversation with Greg Sargent of The New Republic. Sargent, who has done big-picture reporting on Miller's ideology, explains that American taxpayers have been quietly funding a federal "Office of Remigration," and how it relates to the Trump Administration's rhetorical war against "communism."
The situation for immigrants is precarious, to put it mildly. But as Stephen Miller himself once said: "Racism must be defeated. Thank you."
