What Joe Biden Can Learn From Stephen Miller (Yes, Seriously)

According to this article on TNR, by Felipe De La Hoz

“In the past two years, the so-called Title 42 policy has been invoked about two million times to expel migrants along the southern border, the majority of whom were likely prevented from making the asylum claims to which they are supposedly entitled under other parts of the law. This situation, which has shut the door to humanitarian migration to hundreds of thousands of people and triggered mass death and suffering, emerged entirely from the single-minded anti-immigrant zealotry of former White House adviser Stephen Miller, and his total indifference to the law’s original purpose.

Miller helped make Title 42 infamous. He also made this specific interpretation of the law durable. And Title 42 was hardly the only change to immigration policy that he wrought during the Trump administration, when he used what power he had at his disposal to bring his xenophobic designs into being. But Miller’s innovation was a simple one: He shook the trees of the U.S. Code to find useful bits of obscure and forgotten statutory authority, which he then sharpened into weapons to launch a culture-war blitzkrieg. The Biden administration has access to the same avenues of executive power—and a powerful incentive to use Trump’s most notorious aide-de-camp’s tools to launch a counterstrike.”
