"Chaffetz, a former congressman and current Fox News contributor, was acting as guest host of Fox News’ “Hannity” when he said the death of a young girl from dehydration at the US-Mexican border should be a “message” to other Central American migrants."

So...

1. I think pretty much anyone who is not a criminal should be let in. When I was a kid I thought immigration was a competition among nations and America was clearly #1 because they chose us. Crummy commie countries on the other hand, didn't let their people leave because if they could everyone would. 

2. The above characterization ("celebrates") is wrong enough to be a lie.  And when we deliberately lie, and mischaracterize what some one has said or done, and put it in a headline, it can be a serious sin. Destroying someone's reputation is in the same  moral league as murdering them. And better believe, God will call us to account for every word. 

Just saying. If you learned from Mark Shea that doing this type of thing is nbd... you're incorrect.

Transcript: Stephen Miller on "Face the Nation," December 16, 2018

MARGARET BRENNAN: --you're a key voice on, and that is immigration and also want to talk about the possible shutdown here. One very particular case here, this seven year old migrant girl who passed away. She was a migrant from Guatemala named Jakelin Caal. She died some hours after passing into U.S. territory while she was under the protection of Customs and Border Patrol. Who bears responsibility for her death?

MILLER: Our hearts break for the tragic death of the 7 year old girl. The loss of that precious life is. Horrifying. It is a painful reminder of the ongoing humanitarian tragedy that is illegal immigration and the misery that it spreads. A coyote dropped off one hundred sixty three migrants in an extremely remote section of New Mexico. Those individuals were found by border patrol who, many cases act as first responders. In fact Border Patrol saves about 4,000 lives every single year. Unfortunately hundreds die on the dangerous trek up. Smuggling organizations profit off death and misery. They are vicious, vile organizations. And it's time that both parties had the appropriate level of outrage over the fact that these organizations--

 

MARGARET BRENNAN: Border patrol though says--

MILLER: --continue to take advantage

MARGARET BRENNAN: it wasn't adequately equipped to deal with the record number of families coming across. Why aren't they?

MILLER: One of the great tragedies that is going on in our country today is the loopholes in our immigration laws and the deficiencies in our immigration laws. And left wing, activist judicial rulings that incentivize the most vulnerable populations to come to our country. Last year--

MARGARET BRENNAN: And the administration--

MILLER: --a hundred thousand--

MARGARET BRENNAN: --hasn't been able to deter them from making that trip.

MILLER: --last year- last year- a hundred thousand unaccompanied alien children or children traveling with adults showed up at our southern border.

MILLER: President Trump took dramatic action, issued an executive order directing illegal traffic to the ports of entry, but a left wing, activist judge issued a reckless nationwide injunction on the president's order putting thousands of lives at risk and further enriching these grotesque--

If it keeps one person away from the coyotes, it could save another life. I’ve dealt with coyotes. They’re worse than drug dealers.
