Overview
- On Friday, the senior White House adviser posted on X that watching the Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra Family Christmas with his children made him question “needing infinity migrants from the third world.”
- Reports identified Miller as Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy and a Homeland Security adviser who has driven the administration’s immigration agenda.
- Reaction was immediate across the political spectrum, with National Review’s Dan McLaughlin and former GOP congressman Joe Walsh noting the stars’ immigrant backgrounds and, in Walsh’s case, telling Miller to get help.
- Journalists and commentators including Brian Krassenstein, Nikki McCann Ramirez, Bill Kristol, Catherine Rampell, and others called out the post’s irony and its focus on immigration during a holiday family moment.
- Coverage acknowledged some supportive replies to Miller’s post but reported no official White House response as of Friday.
