"SNIP...........
Last week, 17 Jewish organizations penned an open letter and sent it to the White House calling for the dismissal of the far-right Senior Policy Advisor Stephen Miller. The letter claims Miller is guilty of extreme viewpoints and advocacy of racist policies. The protest was led by the National Council of Jewish Women. Here are excerpts:
As Jews, we are in solidarity with immigrants and refugees and believe that our nation must be a refuge and welcoming home for new Americans, they wrote. Miller has been an obstacle to passing widely-supported, bipartisan, popular, badly-needed immigration policy changes throughout his time in the administration.
The coauthors call Miller the architect of two executive measures that limit admission into the United States for immigrants from countries including Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen and Venezuelia. The letter also states:
Stephen Miller opposes the beliefs we hold dear, and while he advises President Trump there will be no forward movement on immigration to the detriment of this great nation founded by immigrants. We urge you to remove Miller from your team and the White House as soon as possible.

(182,861 posts)Jewish remark from Virginia GOP committeeman prompts rebuke
FAIRFAX, Va. Republican leaders in Virginia are seeking the resignation of a member of the partys state central committee after he suggested he would not vote for a Jewish candidate.
Virginia GOP Chairman John Whitbeck said committee member Fredy Burgos should resign, and he told The Washington Post on Monday that efforts are underway to remove him if he wont.
In a Facebook post, Burgos posted a quote from John Jay, the first chief justice of the Supreme Court, that calls on Christians to select and prefer Christians for their rulers. Burgos states that having preference for Christians over non-Christians as political leaders is not bigoted.
Burgos was supporting a candidate for a Fairfax County party post who is running against a Jewish candidate.
