Date: December 23rd, 2025 11:41 AM Author: AZNgirl maeking sure Brown Shooter isnt Brown Stephen Miller's family came to the U.S. as Jewish immigrants fleeing violent pogroms in Eastern Europe (now Belarus) around the turn of the 20th century, with his great-great-grandfather, Wolf-Leib Glosser, arriving at Ellis Island in 1903, followed by other family members through a process his uncle calls "chain migration" that built a successful American life, much to the family's later dismay given Miller's restrictive immigration stance. Key Details of Their Arrival:
Origin: The family came from Antopol, a village in what is now Belarus, then part of the Russian Empire, to escape anti-Jewish violence.
First Arrival: Wolf-Leib Glosser arrived at Ellis Island in 1903 with little money.
Family Reunion: He sent money for his family to join him, with his son Sam arriving in 1906, establishing roots in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
Success: The family built a successful business, progressing from a small shop to a chain of supermarkets and department stores.
The "Hypocrisy" Controversy:
Uncle's Criticism: Stephen Miller's uncle, David Glosser, wrote an essay criticizing his nephew for architecting immigration policies that would have blocked his own ancestors, calling it a rejection of their family's foundation.
"Chain Migration": Glosser highlighted that the family's story is a classic example of "chain migration" (family-based immigration) that Miller's policies often sought to limit. |
