Eight people calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza were injured at an outdoor mall in Boulder, Colorado, by a man who police say used a makeshift flamethrower and hurled an incendiary device into a crowd. The FBI immediately described the violence as a “targeted terror attack.”The right-wing media is eager to inform us that the suspect entered this country unlawfully.
The suspect, identified by the FBI as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, yelled “Free Palestine” during the Sunday attack on the group of demonstrators, said Mark Michalek, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Denver field office....
The injuries authorities found were consistent with reports of people being set on fire, Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn said....
BREAKING: Three senior DHS sources tell @FoxNews that the Boulder terror suspect is an Egyptian national in the U.S. illegally as a visa overstay who entered the U.S. during the Biden administration. I’m told Mohamed Sabry Soliman arrived at LAX on 8/27/22 on a B1/B2 nonimmigrant…

I think Stephen Miller is the happiest man in America right now. I'm sure he feels entirely vindicated in all of his life choices.

Suicidal migration must be fully reversed.
You know that he's trying to make the phrase "suicidal migration" happen, because he's used it before:
Suicidal migration. https://t.co/Z9m4GDCVgd

The right has accused the U.S. and European countries of having "suicidal migration policies" for years, but Miller seems to want a tighter, punchier, meme-ier phrase, one that leaves the dull word "policies" out and gives the listener just two words, equally weighted: "suicidal" (with its echo of the early-twentieth century eugenicist idea of "race suicide") and "migration." He's saying that the act of allowing more liberal immigration policies has been suicidal for America, but he's wants our brains to associate national suicide with migration, period.
Apparently it's working.
Suicidal migration is a powerful term

Expect to hear this phrase repeatedly in the near future -- from Kristi Noem, from prominent elected Republicans, and from everyone on Fox.
