On Wednesday’s “CNN Newsroom,” CNN Senior White House Correspondent Jim Acosta said that during his exchange with White House adviser Stephen Miller at the White House Press Briefing earlier in the day, he wanted to remind Miller of what the Statue of Liberty says, bringing in people from all walks of life is what makes America great, and America “was already great, because of immigrants in this country.” He also stated that the White House isn’t advancing a very strong argument for its new immigration proposal and is dog-whistling that it would look at the racial and ethnic flow of immigrants. Acosta began by remarking, “Well, you can be Cuban and cosmopolitan, Brooke. I don’t know what to tell you.” He continued, “I think when the White House has to resort to insulting reporters in that fashion, and we’ve seen this time and again, throughout the course of this administration, they’re just really not advancing a terribly powerful argument.” Acosta also said he was simply trying to ask Miller as to whether the policy goes against a tradition of the US bringing in all different kinds of people.
