IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 

FEBRUARY 13, 2020 

Mr. CASTRO of Texas (for himself, Ms. JUDY CHU of California, Ms. BASS, 

Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ, Mr. SCHNEIDER, and Mr. BEYER) submitted 

the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Reform, for 

a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for 

consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned 

RESOLUTION 

Condemning Stephen Miller for his trafficking in bigotry, 

hatred, and divisive political rhetoric and policies that 

are inconsistent with the trust and confidence placed 

in him as a Senior Advisor to the President and expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that he 

should immediately resign from office. 

Whereas Public Law 115–58, a joint resolution signed into 

law on September 14, 2017, rejects ‘‘white nationalism, 

white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis, and 

other hate groups’’;

•HRES 858 IH 

Whereas, on January 15, 2019, the House of Representatives 

passed a resolution ‘‘reject[ing] White nationalism and 

White supremacy as hateful expressions of intolerance 

that are contradictory to the values that define the people 

of the United States’’; 

Whereas White supremacy and White nationalism are contrary to the ideals of the United States of America, which 

has long embraced inclusive patriotism and welcomed immigrants from across the globe, enriching our Nation; 

Whereas Stephen Miller has long cultivated relationships and 

correspondence with those who follow White nationalist 

ideologies; 

Whereas recently published emails of Stephen Miller primarily concern the subjects of race and immigration, exclusively focus on offenses committed by non-Whites, and 

promote policies to severely limit or end non-White immigration to the United States; 

Whereas, in his emails, Stephen Miller directly and repeatedly 

suggested story ideas to the website Breitbart, pushing 

Breitbart’s news coverage to reference White supremacist, racist, and eugenic ideologies; 

Whereas a former Breibart editor has acknowledged Stephen 

Miller’s suggestions were used to ‘‘spin a narrative where 

immigrants of color were not only dangerous, violent individuals but also posed an existential threat to America’’; 

Whereas eugenics is a set of racist beliefs—embraced by 

Adolf Hitler—that the human population can be improved by promoting genetic groups deemed to be ‘‘superior’’ and eliminating or excluding genetic groups deemed 

to be ‘‘inferior’’;

•HRES 858 IH 

Whereas, in his emails, Stephen Miller repeatedly recommended that Brietbart write articles supporting Calvin 

Coolidge and the Immigration Act of 1924, a law based 

on eugenic ideology that created a ‘‘national origin’’ 

quota system aimed at restricting immigration to the 

United States from areas other than Northern and Western Europe; 

Whereas the Immigration Act of 1924 prohibited all immigration from Asia, severely restricted immigration from Africa, and used outdated census data to exclude many other 

people who were deemed by some as ‘‘inferior’’ or ‘‘undesirable’’, including immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe; 

Whereas the Immigration Act of 1924 was strongly supported at the time by eugenicists and reflected the pervasiveness of anti-immigrant and nativist sentiment at the 

time; 

Whereas President Coolidge once wrote that, ‘‘Our country 

must cease to be regarded as a dumping ground [for new 

immigrants] . . . Biological laws tell us that certain divergent people will not mix or blend’’; 

Whereas the Immigration Act of 1924 was the same law that 

Adolf Hitler described as a model for Nazi Germany in 

‘‘Mein Kampf’’ to help make his eugenic ideology a reality; 

Whereas the Immigration Act of 1924 controlled American 

immigration policy until the passage of the Immigration 

and Naturalization Act of 1965, which abandoned eugenic ideology and eliminated the ‘‘national origin’’ quota 

system;

•HRES 858 IH 

Whereas Stephen Miller is now widely understood to direct 

immigration policy for the Trump administration, including support for legislative and administrative proposals 

that would severely reduce immigration to the United 

States; and 

Whereas Stephen Miller’s leadership position brings discredit 

upon the White House: Now, therefore, be it 

1 Resolved, That— 

2 (1) the House of Representatives does hereby 

3 condemn Stephen Miller for his trafficking in big4 otry, hatred, and divisive political rhetoric and poli5 cies that are inconsistent with the trust and con6 fidence placed in him as a Senior Advisor to the 

7 President; and 

8 (2) it is the sense of the House of Representa9 tives that Stephen Miller, Senior Advisor to the 

10 President, should immediately resign from office, 

11 and if he does not resign, the President should re12 move him from office.
