Voters Want Border Security, Not Miller's Tactics

President Donald Trump named Stephen Miller, the architect of his immigration crackdown, as chief of staff following the midterm defeat, signaling a potential doubling down on enforcement policies. The midterms revealed voters support border security and deporting criminals but reject the administration's aggressive tactics, with polls showing most Americans backing deportation while disapproving of methods like daily arrest targets and street raids. Miller's maximalist approach, including quotas that swept up undocumented workers without criminal records, contrasts with public preference for targeted enforcement against violent offenders and a path for long-settled workers, leaving a political opening for either party.
