Speaking during a jaw-dropping appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” program, Trump Administration Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller, the architect of the administration’s high-octane deportation policy, revealed how blue states have been fighting tooth and nail to keep illegal aliens on the voter rolls.
Such came when he discussed with Hannity how the administration initially tried a very conciliatory approach with the states, simply asking all the states in America to work with the Department of Homeland Security to scrub their voter roll lists of known illegal aliens by comparing their lists against the data it has on file.
Stunningly, the blue states uniformly refused. Instead of just working with the administration in a small way to ensure that their voter rolls weren’t covered up in illegal aliens, they apparently all refused to even contemplate working with DHS on the major problem of non-citizen voting, raising many questions about what is going on in their states.
Exposing as much, Mr. Miller began his commentary on the issue by noting how the problem cropped up, noting that originally the administration just asked for the states to work with it to cross-check their voter rolls with DHS data. He said, “At the beginning of this administration, we asked every state, red and blue, to share with us their voter rolls so we could scrub it against the DHS file of illegal aliens to remove illegal aliens from their voter rolls.”
Continuing, he noted that not only did every blue state totally refuse to do so, but they even sued the administration to try and prevent the voter roll scrubbing from happening. He said, “Every blue state refused. California refused. Minnesota refused. New York refused. In fact, they sued us to stop us from removing illegal aliens from the voter rolls, removing non-citizens from the voter rolls.”
That wasn’t all. Continuing, Miller argued that the states are refusing to work with the Trump Administration because “they want the fraud” and so are fighting hard to keep all sorts of voters on the rolls who shouldn’t be on them, from dead people and felons to non-citizens.
Making that startling claim, Mr. Miller alleged, “But that’s not the only thing. They don’t even want to get dead people off the rolls. They don’t want to get felons off the rolls. They don’t want to get out-of-state voters off the rolls. They don’t want to get double and triple voters out of the count. Because they want the fraud.”

Concluding, Miller noted that this is such a big deal because there are so many illegal aliens here thanks to former President Joe Biden, whose administration allowed perhaps as many as 20 million illegal aliens to walz across the border, and so we now risk having many non-citizens on the voter rolls. He said, “This is the most important issue, Sean, because the Biden administration brought 20 million illegal aliens into this country and this is the way, the only way, to keep them from participating in our sacred democratic process.”
