Stephen Miller's Uncle Donates To Pro-Refugee Group As 'Wedding Gift' To Nephew
I LOOOVE his uncle (who if you don't know, has written several times about his horror toward family pariah, Stephen Miller)The Trump administration’s immigration policies, spearheaded by Miller, are “a danger to everybody in our country,” David Glosser told HuffPost.

David Glosser, a retired neuropsychologist and Miller’s maternal uncle, on Monday posted a link on Facebook to a spoof online wedding registry created by comedian Samantha Bee in December.
The site, “MatchMadeInHate.com,” contains wish-list items from U.S.-based charities that assist asylum-seekers and immigrants ― such as mittens, underwear and LED night lights.
Miller and now-wife Katie Waldman, press secretary for Vice President Mike Pence, are “partners in crimes against humanity,” Bee’s faux registry reads.
Glosser, an outspoken critic of Miller’s anti-immigrant agenda, wrote on his Facebook post that he planned to donate to HIAS, a Jewish American nonprofit organization that provides humanitarian aid and assistance to refugees.
“[HIAS] helped to rescue my family from Czarist oppression in the Russian Empire in 1906,” wrote Glosser, who is Jewish. “Had our refugee forebears not been helped to emigrate to the USA, they and their children would have been murdered by the racial madness of Nazism; as were the 74 of our relatives who were shut out of America by the race/religion based immigration exclusion act of 1925 enacted by the ‘America First’ populists of the day.”
“Protect the refugee and welcome the stranger,” he added, “they built America.”

As to the family dynamics:
Glosser wasn’t invited to Miller’s wedding and hasn’t spoken to his nephew since 2015. He said his only communication with his sister, Miller’s mother, relates to the care of their elderly mother.
But it’s “a big family,” Glosser said, adding that many of his relatives support his decision to speak out against his nephew.
