The Somali American lawmaker’s comment comes after the noted racist and Homeland Security adviser essentially said migrants are ruining the U.S.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said on Sunday that the dehumanizing language used against immigrants by noted racist and Homeland Security adviser Stephen Miller is similar to how Nazis spoke of Jewish people.

Miller, who was the architect behind the Trump administration’s immigration policies, used such language last month in response to a Wall Street Journal op-ed urging Americans to refrain from demonizing all Afghan refugees, after one allegedly shot two National Guard members in Washington, D.C.

“This is the great lie of mass migration. You are not just importing individuals. You are importing societies,” Miller said on X. “No magic transformation occurs when failed states cross borders. At scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions, and terrors, of their broken homelands.”

    Yeah, no shit. That’s kind of the point.

    Of course, Stephen Miller is so fucking full of himself and so fucking idiotic that he actually believes that if he were to stoke the kind of thing he seems to truly want, that they will eventually come for HIM, too. Because, duh: he’s JEWISH. Does he think it would work out any differently to align himself with people that want to exterminate all Jews?
