Stephen Miller stands by his xenophobic comments
Former senior Trump administration advisor Stephen Miller reportedly balked at the idea of resettling more Afghan refugees during a cabinet meeting in 2018, telling the room that the refugees would create "Iraqs," and "Stans," in the US, according to CNN.
Miller pushed an unapologetically xenophobic immigration policy during the Trump administration, helping ideate the Muslim ban and other policies which broke down and backlogged the asylum system.
"What do you guys want?" Miller said during the meeting, according to CNN, which cited an official present during the meeting. "A bunch of Iraqs and 'Stans across the country?"

On Friday, Miller told CNN that he stands by the same kind of vetting that he advocated for, and which was implemented by the Trump administration.
