White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller recently made an appearance on CNN anchor Jake Tapper’s program where he completely schools him on illegal immigration and exposes the truth behind the twisted narrative being pushed by left-leaning legacy media outlets and personalities.
A clip of the interview between Tapper and Miller is going viral across social media and has garnered over 2.7 million views since it was originally posted in January 2025. The video has resurfaced and is going viral on X. The video starts off with Tapper talking about how illegal aliens do the jobs Americans don’t want to do, asking Miller how the administration can provide safe borders without causing grocery prices to spike.
“So, how do you? How does President Trump make sure that the effort to deport people who are not in this country legally doesn’t end up hurting Americans who want safe borders absolutely, but also don’t want to see even more higher prices in groceries?” Tapper asks. Miller wastes no time in scorching Tapper for essentially supporting exploitative labor.
“Well, I mean, I’m sure it’s not your position, Jake. You’re just asking the question that we should supply America’s food with exploitative illegal alien labor. I obviously don’t think that’s what you’re implying,” Miller starts his response, adding just a tinge of sarcasm to his sharp words. “Only 1% of alien workers in the entire country work in agriculture.”
“The top destination for illegal aliens are large cities like New York, like Los Angeles, and small industrial towns, of course, all across the heartland, as we’ve seen with the Biden floods. None of those illegal aliens are doing farm work. Those 30,000 illegal aliens that Joe Biden dumped into Springfield,” Miller continues. Tapper interjects and tries to assert that he’s talking about a different group of illegal immigrants, the ones who work in the agriculture industry, leading to the two men talking over each other.
Tapper then accuses Miller of trying to change the subject. The Trump administration official then says, “Give me 30 minutes. I’ll go as deep as you want to,” essentially stating that if he’s given a half hour he would unpack the issue for both Tapper and the viewing audience. Miller then tells Tapper he’ll give him a full answer to his question.
“The illegal aliens that Joe Biden brought into our country are not full stop doing farm work. They are not the illegal aliens you brought in from Venezuela, from Haiti, from Nicaragua. They are not doing farm work. They are in our cities collecting welfare,” Miller explains. “As for the farmers, there is a guest worker program that President Trump supports. Over time, as well, we will transition into automation, so we’ll never have to have this conversation ever again.”

“But there’s no universe in which this nation is going to allow the previous president to flood our nation with millions and millions of illegal aliens who just get to stay here, and we are especially not going to allow a subset of those illegal aliens to rape and murder our citizens,” Miller says, adding, “So we are going to unapologetically enforce our immigration laws, and as I’m sure you will celebrate, we are going to unleash the power and might of the U.S. government to eradicate the presence of transnational threats on our soil.”
