Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "I don't know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don't. *crowd groans* I know we have some here today. I don't know why they're here, because they certainly don't give us their vote ... they cheat."

Moreover, "cosmopolitanism" is a well-known antisemitic dogwhistle, which is par for the course for Miller, who apparently hates everything about the US that led his Jewish ancestors to emigrate here.
One point we make in our piece on the intellectual roots of Stephen Miller's worldview is that cosmopolitanism, which is the antithesis of everything he believes, is a prize inheritance from "western civilization"

A few years ago, the IRS got additional funding. What happened? More audits of wealthy tax cheats and better customer service for everyone else.
Fast forward to now and the IRS is so understaffed and underfunded that it’s using HR employees to process tax returns.
Trump delivers for the oligarchs.

2/ Justice Kavanaugh's logic (in Noem v Vasquez Perdomo):
"If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter."
Sworn affidavits show how, on the ground, this is simply not how it plays out with ICE.
