NBC reporter Jacob Soboroff’s new book on Trump’s immigration policies quotes Vice President Mike Pence’s communications director Katie Miller as saying “I believe that if you come to America, you should assimilate. Why do we need to have Little Havana?”
Little Havana is a neighborhood in Miami home to many Cuban exiles who fled the country during Fidel Castro’s regime. Cuban Americans have historically been a solidly Republican voting bloc in Miami-Dade County, although younger Cuban Americans hold more liberal beliefs than past generations.
And, by the way:
“President Trump, mired in some of the lowest job approval ratings of his presidency, is … even running behind Biden in his firewall states of Florida and North Carolina” — Amy Walters, Cook Report
Miller is also quoted saying this:
‘My family and colleagues told me that when I have kids I’ll think about the separations differently. But I don’t think so … DHS sent me to the border to see the separations for myself — to try to make me more compassionate — but it didn’t work,’ she is reported to have said.
Of course she cannot be made more compassionate. She is a soulless monster.
And it says a whole lot that she’s working so closely with the Human Furrowed Brow. What I mean by that is that it says a lot about Mike Pence.
