White House senior adviser Stephen Miller says President Donald Trump will pursue an even more extreme anti-immigration agenda if he is re-elected next week. The priorities would be “limiting asylum grants, punishing and outlawing so-called sanctuary cities, expanding the so-called travel ban with tougher screening for visa applicants, and slapping new limits on work visas,” according to NBC News.

Limiting immigration to the United States, whether legal or not, has been Miller’s political project since he was a teenager. “Stephen Miller thinks, because he was indoctrinated in this belief system at a young age, that he is saving the United States from an apocalypse from having too many brown people here,” his biographer Jean Guerrero told me in August.
