Jim Acosta to Stephen Miller: " Are we just gonna bring in immigrants from England & Australia?"

[octoberlib]

BINGO! That's the fucking plan. White people only. Absolutely disgusting.

[rainy]

1. Did you watch that whole exchange? WOW

[octoberlib]

3. Yes. He accused Acosta, son of Cuban immigrants, of being ignorant and

having a cosmopolitan bias. Miller's a "coastal elite" from Santa Monica .

4. Cosmopolitan bias?

You mean being provincial and ignorant is a good thing?

[octoberlib]

5. You got it. Cosmopolitan bias not being bigoted in alt right speak.

[CakeGrrl]

9. Insamuch as it's the Trump base, yes.

These policies are red meat to the racist, ignorant, 'take America back' crowd.

[anneboleyn]

7. In classic shitty white nationalist fashion Miller accused Acosta of being racist. It was surreal.

Miller accused Acosta of being racist because he didn't believe that other people could speak English too. Like wtf?! Miller's emphasis on immigrants being able to speak English before they arrive is OBVIOUSLY biased and an overtly racist gesture, yet Miller accuses a reporter of racism for asking questions. Miller is disgusting, and he is truly an embarrassment to the country.

[hamsterjill]

6. I just finished watching it.

How Jim Acosta kept from standing up and punching the shit out of Stephen Miller is amazing to me.

At least Jim Acosta is a journalist who will give them some hell. So many others in the room just sit there and take it. Acosta fights back to the extent that he can. That's why they all hate him.

[HipChick]

2. Yep...whites only....

[Paladin]

8. Good stuff. Acosta OWNED that little shithook Miller. (nt)

[greatauntoftriplets]

10. These assholes make me ashamed to be 100 percent European.

At least 70 percent of my family arrived here not speaking English, or at least very little. This proposed immigration reform is nothing more than a giant dogwhistle.

[trof]

11. Wow, Miller is a real prick. Here's the clip:

[JBoy]

16. Wow, his punchability is off the charts.

[caballojm]

22. He's certainly maxed out on the punchability index.

100 out of 100!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

42. He has literally been working on that since high school. The guy is a real life in-person troll.

[lunatica]

17. Thanks!

[trof]

18. Mah plehsyuh.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

19. Let's see,

What exactly is "Statue of Liberty Law of the Land?" I wish Miller would clarify that.

He also uses "Nationalization" when me means Naturalization, and is clearly ignorant of the fact that a fuck of a lot of our collective ancestors arrived here not speaking a word of English.

I also think that Miller doesn't actually know what the word Cosmopolitan means.

I really, really wish Acosta had pointed out that the vast majority of immigrants over much of our history have arrived speaking little or no English.

[Skittles]

34. he looks like an SS guard

[trof]

35. Ve vuh only vollowing orduhs.

[Skittles]

36. that one would say he was proud to follow orders

he is a proven racist prick

[Wednesdays]

38. Give him a little bit more hair,

and he's the spitting image of Joseph Goebbels.

[IronLionZion]

12. At this point English and Australian people are more diverse

and so are Americans. Due to immigration over many years and mixed marriages and other factors. We have immigrants elected to our Congress.

The civil rights movement and pro-civil rights Dems back in the 60s were brilliant for reforming immigration back then to make America more diverse. Trump campaigned on this saying before 1965 is when America was great.

[sandensea]

13. Little do the rednecks realize that it will mostly just encourage Indian subcontinent immigration.

Because if they think that Australians, Canadians, the Irish, New Zealanders, and Brits will give up their high living standards and wide-ranging social protections to come to the U.S. as uninsured wage slaves, they've got another thing coming.

[sarge43]

24. Oh, better than that.

Results of one minute internet scan: Approximately 400M people speak English as their first/native language; note that the majority of that 400M would be Americans. Approximately 600M to 700M speak it as a secondary and not all of them are Day Glow white. Probably goes without saying that most of them speak it better than say Sarah Palin.

So, if this is a vile attempt of this racist administration to keep out POCs, ooops.

[sandensea]

26. Plus India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, South Africa & other non-white, English speaking nations

That nearly 2 billion folks right there - many of whom would like to come to the U.S.

[sarge43]

28. Yup. Just about every nation that was once part of British Empire

would have English as either one of its official languages or a recognized one. The Philippines also has English as an official language. Another fast check - 97 nations all up, an official or recognized.

I have the feeling that Trump and his lackeys were the kids who never did their homework, just tried to bs their way through.

[sandensea]

29. Exactly.

Besides, their base doesn't know any better either.

I can just hear them now: "who'd you rather have come to the country: Brits or Beaners!?"

[Ninsianna]

37. I think you don't quite understand the Indian subcontient and the people who immigrate

from there. The doctors, the scientists and the engineers, whose living standards in India are a great deal higher than the white countries you've mentioned. They also have better social protections, and there aren't racist assholes shooting them because they too dumb to differentiate between anyone who isn't white.

Also, they don't need to come here anymore to start businesses, be on the cutting edge of medicine or scientific research, so perhaps check that redneck racism there about Indians.

[Wednesdays]

39. What percent of people in India

are doctors, scientists, or engineers?

[Ninsianna]

40. What percent of the people seeking immigration to the US are?

Not everyone in India wants to come to the US. Less racism please, and more staying on topic, shrugging doesn't make something ugly and ignorant any less so. This level of ignorance and arrogance should be left to the Stephen Millers of the world, it does not belong anywhere intelligent people with any claims of being liberal, progressive or Democratic congregate.

Does anyone actually possess the hubris to think that everyone desperately wants to come to the states simply because they are ignorant enough to think that the British film Slumdog Millionaire is a documentary?

Or did you actually think that snake charmers and rickshaw drivers were flocking to the U.S.? And given the attention that India has paid to education, a pretty hefty number of people are doctors, scientists and engineers. Travel more, learn things, open that mind, correct the bias.

[alfredo]

14. Under this, are refugees considered immigrants?

[George II]

15. There you go. First, the bill won't pass anyway. Second, the bill will be blocked in the courts...

....as just another variation on his immigration executive orders.

[octoberlib]

21. He probably saw his poll numbers and threw it out there to get his base riled up.

Or something.

[BannonsLiver]

20. Miller sure plays the "good German" role to a T.

[sarge43]

23. So, what degree/level of fluency in English would an immigrant have to have?

Equivalent to Sarah Palin's, Donald Trump's?, most internet basement trolls?

[bora13]

25. miller was visibly

racist.

it was oozing out of his pores as he condemned jim for thinking
so "small" as to think only english speakers are in england/Aus

[yuiyoshida]

27. make....

yeah, i know its photoshopped, but some people really have that sentiment.

[nolabear]

30. I just got home after hearing this on car radio. I wanted to

slap the Nazi out of him. Seeing it doesn't improve my mood.

You know, the media is getting fed up with this crap, and we need to back them. Their questions do represent us, and their calling out of the lies and racism is ours.

[dalton99a]

32. Not just anybody from England & Australia - gotta be white Christians who believe in MAGA

[SummerSnow]

33. Exactly..

all of this crap about we want English speaking people. The history of this country was built by people who first language was not English.From Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin countries

[dreamland]

41. The very definition of cosmopolitan bias includes diversity.

That which makes up a cosmopolitan includes people from all ethnic groups without which we wouldn't have a Chinatown or Japantown or Little Italy. So yes, I have a cosmopolitan bias because I want to see people from all ethnic groups.
