White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is encouraging red states to cut public funding to educational initiatives that benefit the children of undocumented migrants, according to a report.
Miller, well known as an immigration hardliner, challenged Texas Republican lawmakers during a four-hour meeting in Washington last week about why they had not already introduced a bill to that effect, according to The New York Times.
“Do we have a RINO problem in Texas?” he asked, using an acronym MAGA conservatives employ to disparage moderates within their own camp, which stands for “Republicans in Name Only.”
Feel like sharing a surprising moment in California history:
In 1994 California voters voted to approve Proposition 187 (1994), known as the “Save Our State” (SOS) initiative, designed to deny public social services, healthcare, and public education to undocumented immigrants. It was ruled unconstitutional by federal courts and never enforced, but it heavily influenced California politics and triggered a major increase in citizenship and voter registration among Latinos.
California is a lot more conservative than people think. Hell, California banned gay marriage in 2008 and has a limit on property tax increases which benefit long term owners.
There is a reason why the state supports arresting homeless people.
