Stephen Miller claims fake asylum cases cost as much as pediatric cancer care
White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller told Laura Ingraham that processing fraudulent asylum claims drains taxpayer funds at a level comparable to providing free cancer treatment for a child.
On one outlet' "The Ingraham Angle," White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller confronted Texas Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico over his comments about Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Miller asserted that the Democratic agenda has led to a surge in illegal crossings, drug deaths, and overwhelmed schools and hospitals. He highlighted a specific incident involving two Venezuelan migrants and a 12-year-old girl, blaming Democratic rhetoric for endangering citizens.
Miller then claimed that the expense of adjudicating a single fraudulent asylum claim equals the cost of providing free cancer treatment to a pediatric patient in the United States. He concluded by accusing Democrats of perpetuating fraud and undermining public safety.
