The white nationalist websites cited by Trump aide Stephen Miller
WASHINGTON — Peter Brimelow, founder of the anti-immigration website VDARE, believes that diversity has weakened the United States, and that the increase in Spanish speakers is a “ferocious attack on the living standards of the American working class.”
“It’s not based on ‘We hold these truths to be self evident.’ It’s based on ‘What were the color of the people who wrote those words?’” But Katie McHugh — the former Breitbart editor who leaked the messages, some 900 emails sent from March 2015 to June 2016 — said in an interview last week that “it’s easy to draw a clear line from the white supremacist websites where he is getting his ideas to current immigration policy.”
The emails show a continued interest after his arrival in Washington. In the emails to Breitbart, a topic Miller referred to more than once was the Coolidge-era immigration law, which ushered in 40 years of lowered immigration levels with discriminatory quotas aimed at southern and Eastern Europeans, whom critics at the time attacked as nonwhite.
But a recent article by Jerry Kammer of the immigration studies center, which advocates restricting immigration, says Coolidge behaved in an “odious” fashion in embracing the national origin quotas. In an interview, Kammer said citing Coolidge as a lodestar for the restrictionist movement was “an unfortunate and unwise and highly dubious association.”
“In white nationalist circles, it invokes the theory of the Great Replacement and the fall of the white West,” she said, referring to the theory that white civilization will be overrun by dark-skinned invaders from the developing world. In an interview, Taylor said he did not know Miller personally and had never met him. Still, Taylor suggested that the kind of material Miller wanted to read about immigration policies did not exist on mainstream media sites.
“There is no question that these people were learning from each other, feeding off each other, and in concert in these viewpoints,” Laufer said.
