- On Friday, White House deputy chief of policy Stephen Miller posted that he `Watched the Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra Family Christmas with my kids` and linked it to migrants, writing America needed infinity migrants from the third world.
- Miller, who helped craft the administration's deportation push, revealed he watched the 1967 special with his children and then repeated anti-immigrant rhetoric.
- Critics noted that both Martin and Sinatra were children of Italian immigrants, with commenters highlighting Martin did not start learning English until he was 5 to underscore the irony.
