White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller sharply criticized U.S. refugee resettlement policies during a televised exchange with Fox News host Jesse Watters, arguing that Democratic-led immigration decisions have imported crime into multiple states and drained American resources.
The exchange occurred as Watters and Miller discussed recent immigration controversies and the broader impact of refugee admissions into the United States. Watters opened the segment by referencing ongoing debates over migrant resettlement and public assistance programs.
“All right, Miller, we got Haitians now on the gravy train, not just eating the dogs and cats anymore,” Watters said.
Miller responded by broadening the focus beyond Haiti, pointing specifically to Somali refugee populations resettled across several Midwestern and Northeastern states.

He argued that Democratic officials were responsible for placing these populations in American communities without adequate consideration of crime or cultural consequences.
“Well, first of all, regarding the situation in Minnesota, by the way, not just Minnesota. We have Somali refugees that were dumped here by Democrats in Ohio and Massachusetts,” Miller said.
Miller went on to argue that crime issues associated with some refugee populations should not come as a surprise, citing Somalia’s history and economic conditions as justification for his claims.
“Let me just say we should not be shocked when you import a population whose primary occupation is pirate, that they are going to come here and steal everything we have,” Miller said.

He continued by describing Somalia’s economic history and linking it directly to what he characterized as criminal behavior carried out in the United States.
“Somalia has this giant coastline, and the only industry they have created after hundreds of years is piracy, stealing what anyone going through who has actually built something has made,” Miller said.
Miller concluded his remarks by asserting that American taxpayers have borne the cost of these policies and that refugees responsible for crime should be returned to their country of origin.
“So yes, the pirates have stolen all of our money, and they have to go home. Jesse, that's the situation we're in right now,” Miller said.

Sadly, it’s true. They were raised to steal from, first anyone that isn’t a Muslim, and then from fellow Muslims if they need their stuff. It is what they do. Been there and seen the country and the culture. We were purifying water for them and all they did constantly was to steal pieces of the equipment, and anything they could that wasn’t nailed down. FACT!
DEPORT the mooSLIME FIFTH in OUR Country. These people will only take and never contribute a thing to OUR Country!!!!!!!!!
What else would expect from a country that has a population of people with an IQ of 50 to 69?! And that is the truth!! It was an actual analysis done of many countries and Somalia came in last. Basically, they fall well into the ‘retarded’ zone. That is not to insult those with Down syndrome, as they are wonderful loving kind people. But, this explains Omar.
But Ilhan says (repeatedly) that Somalis are the most intelligent people of the world.
Stop talking and do it. Kick them out. Nothing will happen, as usual.
If it isn’t already, Somalia should certainly be on the Accept No Immigrants From list!
I spent 13 months in that squalid shole known as Somalia. We were purifying water for them to drink and exist, and they did nothing but steal and sabotage and shoot at us, shoot at us, sabotage and steal. Rinse and repeat ad infinitum.
