Stephen Miller’s Vicious Uncle, David S. Glosser, is an Immigration Hypocrite, and a Really Bad Writer

 

Stephen Miller
 

By Nicholas Stix

Stephen Miller and I have a few things in common. We’re both immigration reform-oriented Jews, we’ve both been praised by the sort of patriots routinely demonized by racial socialists and Trump-haters, and we both have fanatical leftwing relatives.

In my case, it’s so bad that The Boss feels safer when I attend conferences where I’m surrounded by white nationalists, than when I’m in a room with my socialist and communist relatives.

Miller’s maternal uncle, David S. Glosser, must have a high IQ and be intelligent about certain matters, like neuro-psychology. However, when he talks about immigration, he sounds of limited intelligence, unhinged, and deeply dishonest.

Glosser wrote a rant vilifying his nephew that runs about 1,680 words in length, yet reads as if it were twice as long. (If you doubt me, I dare you to read it!)

You will search in vain for arguments from Glosser. Instead you will find hatred, wild hyperbole, pleas to emotions (including nostalgia), enmity towards America (what used to be called treason), misrepresentations, and a lack of facts or logic.

Glosser presumes that Americans may never act based on enlightened self-interest.

If you can save person through a certain social policy, you must do so, and that to not do so is tantamount to being a Nazi.

Every major and many not-so-major social policies kill people. Policy X kills people, and Policy Not-X kills people. We must rationally choose which policy serves America’s vital interests.

Not so, according to Glosser: Anyone who refuses to welcome up to seven billion foreigners is a Nazi.

According to Glosser, because Miller’s forebears were immigrants, Miller must support open borders forever.

This is the moral equivalent to demanding that a lifeboat survivor never say no to taking on yet another person from the sea, even if the lifeboat is full and taking on anyone else will cause it to capsize and drown everyone.

Thus, for David S. Glosser, social policy is a suicide pact. Promoting democide evidently makes Glosser feel very good about himself.

Since Glosser has no arguments, he is left with ad hominem attacks.

“Acting for so long in the theater of right-wing politics, Stephen and Trump may have become numb to the resultant human tragedy and blind to the hypocrisy of their policy decisions.”

Another sophistic tactic Glosser uses is, to assert that statements made on behalf of immigration today were made by evil people in the past, and are thus evil by association.

If we point out that illegal alien drunk drivers have killed thousands of American citizens, he plays the Nazi card.

“Trump publicly parades the grieving families of people hurt or killed by migrants, just as the early Nazis dredged up Jewish criminals to frighten and enrage their political base to justify persecution of all Jews.”

Did illegal alien Jews kill thousands of Germans, the way illegal alien Mexicans and other south-of-the-border criminals have killed thousands of Americans?

Of course not. There were few or no illegal alien Jews in Weimar or Nazi Germany, they had killed few or no German gentiles, and the Nazis didn’t claim they had.

Are highways, Volkswagens, and water evil? Because Hitler founded the German highway system and Volkswagens, and he drank water.

And then there is his emoting on behalf of refugees, which combines the “if we save even just one life” with the whoppers of the refugee racket.

Glosser invokes at great length someone whom he calls “Joseph.” “Joseph,” who would by now be about 30, was born in Eritrea, and is a saint who has suffered so much oppression, torture, bad coffee, etc., that he should be canonized while still alive. Oh, and he’s a Coptic Christian, too.

Fraudulent “refugees” and asylum seekers have been playing Americans for fools for a generation or more. Virtually everyone who comes here from the Third World claiming to be a refugee is a fraud, with a story he was taught back home.

Refugee Rackets like HIAS, where Glosser is a volunteer, bilk hard-working, law-abiding, white American taxpayers out of millions of dollars per year.

Am I suggesting that Glosser invented “Joseph”? The odds are 1,000 to 1 against “Joseph” being real, or at least real in the way Glosser described him. If Glosser were halfway honest, he’d admit to that, but since he showed no signs of honesty, I’d be a fool to believe him.

I wouldn’t trust David Glosser or his accomplices to give me the correct time of day.

But what if “Joseph” were real? It would be irrelevant to our immigration/refugee policies. Rackets like HIAS have so abused the system that, in a form of “Gresham’s Law,” bad people have driven out the good people. We must shut down HIAS and its criminal counterparts, and shut down our refugee programs, unless and until we can replace the crooks that have for so long corrupted them.

“Most damning is the administration's evident intent to make policy that specifically disadvantages people based on their ethnicity, country of origin and religion. No matter what opinion is held about immigration, any government that specifically enacts law or policy on that basis must be recognized as a threat to all of us.”

But most countries have such policies. And America has such policies against whites.

“Immigration reform is a complex issue that will require compassion and wisdom to bring the nation to a just solution, but the politicians who have based their political and professional identity on ethnic demonization and exclusion cannot be trusted to do so.”

Immigration reform is a very simple issue. Glosser has no bloody idea what compassion and wisdom entail, seeks no “solution,” much less a just one, and seeks to disenfranchise and destroy all American patriots.

That Stephen Miller and I both have relatives like David Glosser is one of the faces of the civil war in which we find ourselves embroiled.

Stephen Miller is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle.
If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.

Let me tell you a story about Stephen Miller and chain migration.

It begins at the turn of the 20th century, in a dirt-floor shack in the village of Antopol, a shtetl of subsistence farmers in what is now Belarus. Beset by violent anti-Jewish pogroms and forced childhood conscription in the Czar’s army, the patriarch of the shack, Wolf-Leib Glosser, fled a village where his forebears had lived for centuries and took his chances in America.

He set foot on Ellis Island on January 7, 1903, with $8 to his name. Though fluent in Polish, Russian and Yiddish, he understood no English. An elder son, Nathan, soon followed. By street corner peddling and sweatshop toil, Wolf-Leib and Nathan sent enough money home to pay off debts and buy the immediate family’s passage to America in 1906. That group included young Sam Glosser, who with his family settled in the western Pennsylvania city of Johnstown, a booming coal and steel town that was a magnet for other hardworking immigrants. The Glosser family quickly progressed from selling goods from a horse and wagon to owning a haberdashery in Johnstown run by Nathan and Wolf-Leib to a chain of supermarkets and discount department stores run by my grandfather, Sam, and the next generation of Glossers, including my dad, Izzy. It was big enough to be listed on the AMEX stock exchange and employed thousands of people over time. In the span of some 80 years and five decades, this family emerged from poverty in a hostile country to become a prosperous, educated clan of merchants, scholars, professionals, and, most important, American citizens.

What does this classically American tale have to do with Stephen Miller? Well, Izzy Glosser is his maternal grandfather, and Stephen’s mother, Miriam, is my sister.

I have watched with dismay and increasing horror as my nephew, an educated man who is well aware of his heritage, has become the architect of immigration policies that repudiate the very foundation of our family’s life in this country.

I shudder at the thought of what would have become of the Glossers had the same policies Stephen so coolly espouses— the travel ban, the radical decrease in refugees, the separation of children from their parents, and even talk of limiting citizenship for legal immigrants — been in effect when Wolf-Leib made his desperate bid for freedom. The Glossers came to the U.S. just a few years before the fear and prejudice of the “America first” nativists of the day closed U.S. borders to Jewish refugees. Had Wolf-Leib waited, his family likely would have been murdered by the Nazis along with all but seven of the 2,000 Jews who remained in Antopol. I would encourage Stephen to ask himself if the chanting, torch-bearing Nazis of Charlottesville, whose support his boss seems to court so cavalierly, do not envision a similar fate for him.

Like other immigrants, our family’s welcome to the USA was not always a warm one, but we largely had the protection of the law, there was no state-sponsored violence against us, no kidnapping of our male children, and we enjoyed good relations with our neighbors. True, Jews were excluded from many occupations, couldn’t buy homes in some towns, couldn’t join certain organizations or attend certain schools or universities, but life was good. As in past generations, there were hate mongers who regarded the most recent groups of poor immigrants as scum, rapists, gangsters, drunks and terrorists, but largely the Glosser family was left alone to live our lives and build the American dream. Children were born, synagogues founded, and we thrived. This was the miracle of America.

Acting for so long in the theater of right-wing politics, Stephen and Trump may have become numb to the resultant human tragedy and blind to the hypocrisy of their policy decisions. After all, Stephen’s is not the only family with a chain immigration story in the Trump administration. Trump's grandfather is reported to have been a German migrant on the run from military conscription to a new life in the United States, and his mother fled the poverty of rural Scotland for the economic possibilities of New York City. (Trump’s in-laws just became citizens on the strength of his wife’s own citizenship.)

These facts are important not only for their grim historical irony but because vulnerable people are being hurt. They are real people, not the ghoulish caricatures portrayed by Trump. When confronted by the deaths and suffering of thousands, our senses are overwhelmed, and the victims become statistics rather than people. I meet these statistics one at a time through my volunteer service as a neuropsychologist for the Philadelphia affiliate of HIAS (formerly the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society), the global nonprofit that protects refugees and helped my family more than 100 years ago. I will share the story of one such man I have met in the hopes that my nephew might recognize elements of our shared heritage.

In the early 2000s, Joseph (not his real name) was conscripted at the age of 14 to be a soldier in Eritrea and sent to a remote desert military camp. Officers there discovered a Bible under his pillow which aroused their suspicion that he might belong to a foreign evangelical sect that would claim his loyalty and sap his will to fight. Joseph was actually a member of the state-approved Coptic church but was nonetheless immediately subjected to torture. “They smashed my face into the ground, tied my hands and feet together behind my back, stomped on me, and hung me from a tree by my bonds while they beat me with batons for the others to see.”

Joseph was tortured for 20 consecutive days before being taken to a military prison and crammed into a dark unventilated cell with 36 other men, little food and no proper hygiene. Some died, and in time Joseph was stricken with dysentery. When he was too weak to stand, he was taken to a civilian clinic where he was fed by the medical staff. Upon regaining his strength, he escaped to a nearby road where a sympathetic driver took him north through the night to a camp in Sudan where he joined other refugees. Joseph was on the first leg of a journey that would cover thousands of miles and almost 10 years.

Before Donald Trump had started his political ascent promulgating the false story that Barack Obama was a foreign-born Muslim, while my nephew, Stephen, was famously recovering from the hardships of his high school cafeteria in Santa Monica, Joseph was a child on his own in Sudan in fear of being deported back to Eritrea to face execution for desertion. He worked any job he could get, saved his money and made his way through Sudan. He endured arrest and extortion in Libya. He returned to Sudan, then kept moving to Dubai, Brazil and eventually to a southern border crossing into Texas, where he sought asylum. In all of the countries he traveled through during his ordeal, he was vulnerable, exploited and his status was “illegal.” But in the United States, he had a chance to acquire the protection of a documented immigrant.

Today, at 30, Joseph lives in Pennsylvania and has a wife and child. He is a smart, warm, humble man of great character who is grateful for every day of his freedom and safety. He bears emotional scars from not seeing his parents or siblings since he was 14. He still trembles, cries and struggles for breath when describing his torture, and he bears physical scars as well. He hopes to become a citizen, return to work and make his contribution to America. His story, though unique in its particulars, is by no means unusual. I have met Central Americans fleeing corrupt governments, violence and criminal extortion; a Yemeni woman unable to return to her war-ravaged home country and fearing sexual mutilation if she goes back to her Saudi husband; and an escaped kidnap-bride from central Asia.

Trump wants to make us believe that these desperate migrants are an existential threat to the United States; the most powerful nation in world history and a nation made strong by immigrants. Trump and my nephew both know their immigrant and refugee roots. Yet, they repeat the insults and false accusations of earlier generations against these refugees to make them seem less than human. Trump publicly parades the grieving families of people hurt or killed by migrants, just as the early Nazis dredged up Jewish criminals to frighten and enrage their political base to justify persecution of all Jews. Almost every American family has an immigration story of its own based on flight from war, poverty, famine, persecution, fear or hopelessness. Most of these immigrants became workers, entrepreneurs, scientists and soldiers of America.

Most damning is the administration's evident intent to make policy that specifically disadvantages people based on their ethnicity, country of origin and religion. No matter what opinion is held about immigration, any government that specifically enacts law or policy on that basis must be recognized as a threat to all of us. Laws bereft of justice are the gateway to tyranny. Today others may be the target, but tomorrow it might just as easily be you or me. History will be the judge, but in the meantime the normalization of these policies is rapidly eroding the collective conscience of America. Immigration reform is a complex issue that will require compassion and wisdom to bring the nation to a just solution, but the politicians who have based their political and professional identity on ethnic demonization and exclusion cannot be trusted to do so. As free Americans, and descendants of immigrants and refugees, we have the obligation to exercise our conscience by voting for candidates who will stand up for our highest national values and not succumb to our lowest fears.

Mayors Battle Over Boycott of Sam Adams Beer(One Phony Calls Trump,"White Nationalist").
Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh came out against any boycott of Samuel Adams ale yesterday as Somerville Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone and others vowed to never drink the Boston Beer Co. product again.

Curtatone, in a flurry of tweets, blasted the company’s founder, Jim Koch, for meeting with President Trump and other business bigwigs last week to thank the president for tax cuts.

But Walsh told the Herald yesterday, “I think that if you start talking about boycotting something against elected officials, including the president, there’s not much stuff we’d be able to buy in the country.”

Walsh said he didn’t know the specifics of Koch’s meeting with Trump and “whether he was a supporter of the president or if it was just dinner.”

Curtatone, during his tweetstorm Monday, wrote, “I will never drink Sam Adam’s beer again!

“We need to hold these complicit profiteers of Trump’s white nationalist agenda accountable,” he added, referring to Koch’s meeting with the president. Curtatone in another tweet asked Koch, “did you happen to express any concern for the families separated under his cruel and inhumane immigration enforcement policy?”
(GRA:Curtatone should be recalled.His vision of the future,based on his support of immigration,is either miscalculated or treasonous.Either way,the ramifications for white Americans is utter destruction and his judgement and leadership must be considered defective.He HAS to go).
A spokeswoman for Curtatone said he couldn’t comment any further because he was out of the country and unavailable.

Koch was one of 13 executives to meet with the president. A Koch spokeswoman declined to comment on the controversy.
GRA:So the next step for liberals is organizing boycotts of those companies that support Trump policies--which is what WE should be doing against media companies,along with other public actions of protest.

The Jews are great sentimentalists. They like to see themselves as a persecuted people even in America. I might even be so bold to think the Jew in America would PREFER to be persecuted but the Jew in America cannot say with any conviction they are being persecuted. Indeed, the Jew in America is prospering as no where in the world have they prospered for a thousand years. And yet this enormous sentimentality for groups such as the American negro or the illegal alien the former of which has an abiding hate and contempt for the Jew.

I was watching the news last night and Trump was being criticized for "falsely" claiming illegal immigrants cause more crime in this country. The news repeated the claim, I've heard it before, that illegals are responsible for "less" crime in the US. A red flag went up when lower incarceration rates for illegals was cited as proof. A began to think it through a little and did a little research online. According to statistics, illegals are about 1/2 as likely to be incarcerated as native born. Of course being incarcerated does not mean you didn't commit a crime or are not a criminal, it just means you aren't in a US prison. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/06/19/two-charts-demolish-the-notion-that-immigrants-here-illegally-commit-more-crime/?utm_term=.bf0a07a037ce

Wading into statistics can be a complicated time consuming mess and I'm not willing to commit myself to the task, but if you do inform yourself a little you can ferret out something that more closely approximates truth.
First off, you have to be in this country to be incarcerated, if an illegal is deported instead of jailed, then he won't count as a prisoner. So what are the arrest rates for illegals? How often are they deported instead of incarcerated? This needs some serious research but I did do some light online work and came up with this: http://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/us-immigration/legal-reasons-immigrant-may-be-deported.html
Crimes of moral turpitude? That could be a lot of things but really I couldn't find anything that tells me what the effect of deportation could have on arrests and incarceration statistics.

However, then I discovered this: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/jun/7/30-percent-federal-prisoners-are-immigrants-dojdhs/
Yes, 30% of federal prisoners are illegals. This has been addressed by some who say that federal prisoners are a smaller percentage of the nationals criminals, state and country prisons make up the majority. That is true but federal criminals are for more serious crimes, less serious criminals may end up as deportees instead of incarcerated. I suspect that the federal rate of imprisonment for illegals is a closer approximation of the degree of criminality for illegals. I admit this subject requires more detailed research, but I think I've done more here than all those immigrant rights fanatics who are claiming that illegals commit less crime "per capita" based simply on "incarceration rates".

We can refute the cowardly and hypocritical Mr. Glosser with his own "save even one life" trope.

If it would save one American citizen from being murdered by a "migrant," immigration should be restricted.

It took one just one sentence.

"Laugh" of the Day:
On the first segment of "Negro Nightly News",Lesta covered the Brennan story,with the emphasis being,the supposed attempt by Trump to restrict free speech(which they're against).
Later on,a story by Lesta,personally getting involved,talking to Twitter's CEO,Jack Dorsey about Alex Jones and Twitter's decision not to ban him.
"Other companies HAVE banned him,why not Twitter?"(Obviously pushing for it).
Lesta plays a clip of Jones saying,"We need to get our rifles ready to go after the media."
Lesta said to Dorsey,"Chilling."
Lesta had the gall to ask Dorsey if he would ban Trump for calling Omarosa,"a dog"--obviously in favor of THAT as well.
"What goes into the thinking of how you decide to ban someone?"(I guess hoping for some retractable phrases he could refer to--for future newscasts--to push for a ban on adversaries of Holt's and his fellow Democrats).
Funny stuff isn't it?Sympathy for commie Brennan's first amendment rights,but none for Jones or Trump.
Normal for NBC (Nothing But Communists)or Negro Broadcasting Company--take your pick.

"I was watching the news last night and Trump was being criticized for "falsely" claiming illegal immigrants cause more crime in this country. "

Just within the federal prison system illegals make up 15 % of the population. If you extrapolate that 15 % figure to the entire prison system of the U.S. that is about 450,000 illegals in American prisons. At $30,000 a pop per inmate per year and just figure the math and the wall pays for itself in a year to two years. Get rid of the current illegal prison population by deportation and prevent further illegals from entering. WHO could possibly object to that.

"I admit this subject requires more detailed research,"


The data is not available to study. The state prison system does keep track of such matters.

Black,Richard Fowler Goes On Fox News To Lie--Like Other Blacks Do.
Ed Henry,filling in for Shannon Bream,brought two blacks(normal for FOX now)to debate black,Chicago violence.Henry asked Fowler,"Why doesn't this topic get national coverage?"
Fowler replied,"We don't have enough representation in the media."
WHAT?
Actually,there's plenty--but the black TV news reporters,who are on air,tend to ignore the crime stories that blacks are famous for committing.
Let's see,Lesta,Lemon,Joy Reid,Ron Mott,Ron Allen and a sh*tload more.Many more.There's no excuse for the lack of coverage,because there are a large number of blacks available.
Lester Holt is the one black with the best opportunity,via a half hour news show every night,to report on black crime(but who refuses to do so).The other networks,with white anchors,are just as fraudulent in their coverage of black behavior(both good and criminal).
Richard Fowler would have you believe,the solution to solving the thug problem in Chicago,is giving it more publicity.Who's fault is it,that there's a lack of light shedding on this subject?Holt--and all the other pro-black networks refuse to spend ANY time on black crime--and for Holt especially,it's a dereliction of his anchor job duties,since he HAS total control of the entire show's content (being the editor).Instead he commits fraud on a daily basis(as I occasionally point out here),by glorifying the rare black individual who accomplishes things that whites do normally,ignoring black crimes and pushing for early prison release for negroes he becomes interested in helping.
Fowler's lies are twofold a)There are more than enough media blacks available to suit his purpose and b)it would accomplish nothing.
Henry further mentioned that only 13% of the population is black(not on FOX anymore or anywhere else I look)and showed a graphic as to how many blacks are employed at various newspapers.Most liberal papers have only 5% blacks employed,including the "NY Times","Washington Post"and "LA Times"(smart move,by the way,lol).
Fowler said they "need to hire more blacks to cover the violence." Uh uh.If there's one thing I've noticed--local papers DO NOT want to constantly write stories about "their crime-ridden towns."
The city's Chamber of Commerce and tourism department doesn't usually go for that kind of honesty.Fowler is as much a b.s'er as Holt and the rest of the blacks.I wish FOX would just stop giving them airtime.
