Radical abolitionist John Brown was executed on this day in 1859 for trying to spark a revolution to free millions held in bondage.

Even worse: Miller's ancestors, like most US Jews, immigrated prior to the 1924 Immigration and Nationality Act; had they been two decades later they (like most Jews attempting to flee the Holocaust) probably also would not have been allowed in.
Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.
Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle.
If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.
