Miller Challenges CNN’s Keilar Over Immigration And Fraud

A fiery exchange unfolded between Stephen Miller and CNN anchor Brianna Keilar on Tuesday as the two sparred over claims that illegal immigrants are fraudulently receiving taxpayer benefits. Miller defended the administration’s position, arguing that lawbreakers should be held accountable.
Keilar questioned Miller on whether the Trump administration was investigating reports that illegal immigrants were obtaining child tax credits. Miller responded that any fraud discovered would be prosecuted and that all cases would be referred to immigration enforcement if necessary.
Miller went on to accuse illegal immigrants of identity theft and tax fraud, highlighting the use of fake Social Security numbers. He argued that these crimes should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, just as they would be for any American citizen.
Keilar continued to challenge Miller on the administration’s enforcement approach, pressing him for details on IRS investigations. Miller insisted that the government was taking fraud seriously and that illegal immigrants found committing financial crimes would be prosecuted and removed from the country.
The discussion intensified as Miller criticized the media’s coverage of the issue, accusing outlets like CNN of downplaying the financial burden illegal immigration places on taxpayers. He said that the administration’s efforts to combat fraud would benefit American workers and families.
Miller ended the interview by suggesting that Keilar’s framing of the issue was biased, prompting her to quickly close the segment.
