President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller argued Trump’s plans to secure the border would be “the biggest domestic policy win” in 50 years, adding that it would finally accomplish what Republicans have spent decades saying they would do.
Miller was asked on Sunday about the plans for border security and whether they would be prioritized over Trump’s plans for tax reform legislation, the latter of which could be delayed to later in 2025. The incoming deputy chief of staff, however, said both would be placed on a “fast track” for the administration, and previewed what the plans for the border would entail.
“John Thune and Lindsey Graham have promised that they can get a full funding package for the border, the most significant border security investment in American history, which would be the biggest domestic policy win in at least 50 years, to the president’s desk in January or early February,” Miller said on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. “That would mean a massive increase in ICE officers working on the deportation operation that Tom Homan just laid out, that would mean a historic increase in border agents, a pay raise for both, full funding for military operations, full funding for ICE beds, full funding for air and marine operations, full funding for all of the barriers and technology that you need to ensure there’s never another gotaway entering this country.”
