Stephen Miller Cuts Through the Noise About Somali ‘Pirates’ in Minnesota [WATCH]

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.
