Former President Trump adviser Stephen Miller criticized President Joe Biden on Fox News on Friday for the use of “tax dollars” at the southern border and offered one solution to “ending” the crisis.
Mr. Miller appeared on “The Ingraham Angle” to discuss the ongoing border crisis and offer solutions to the problem. Fox host Laura Ingraham asked the former Trump adviser what she thought a solution to the problem would be, and she said she was currently working on a bill in the Senate. .
Miller accused the president of using federal funds to resettle illegal immigrants across the country, saying that with Homeland Security funding set to expire in February, House Republicans are in control of the “checkbook.” He pointed out that A former adviser to President Trump said “not a single federal penny” should be spent on any involvement in the resettlement or release of illegal immigrants and stressed the need to “abolish taxi service.” (Related: Border Patrol Agents Quietly Support Texas' Move to Seize Border Area)
“Well, most importantly, Laura, my position on this matter hasn't changed in three years. It's about going back to the power of the purse. We're trying to capture people and resettle them in all 50 states, using your money, my money, and your money tonight,” Miller said.
“Department of Homeland Security funding expires in February. The House has the checkbook and cannot spend a single federal penny to release or resettle a single illegal alien in the United States.” Create a bill that makes it clear that if we eliminate the taxi service that American taxpayers provide for illegal aliens, that service will also be shut down. That has always been the solution. 2021, 2022 and now 2023 were the solution. Stop funding our own destruction,” Miller added.
House Republicans have been resolute since last year on aiding the border crisis as record numbers of illegal immigrants cross the southern border. In December 2023, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson refused to approve additional funding to Ukraine unless a deal secured its borders.
Since the move, senators have been trying to reach an agreement on a deal to present to the House. But with no deal yet, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell is ramping up his personal efforts to pass legislation that includes both border security and aid to Ukraine, his colleagues said.
