WASHINGTON _ A top aide to Vice President Mike Pence and former spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security questioned the need for immigrant-heavy neighborhoods _ singling out Miami's Little Havana _ according to a book released on Tuesday about the Trump administration's family separation policy.
NBC reporter Jacob Soboroff quoted Florida native and Pence aide Katie Miller arguing in favor of immigrants assimilating _ and against neighborhoods like Little Havana that were settled by Cuban immigrants.
"I believe that if you come to America, you should assimilate," Miller said, according to Soboroff's book, Separated. "Why do we need to have Little Havana?"
