Encounter with Stephen Miller
About a dozen years ago, a staffer for Sen. Jeff Sessions, the ultraconservative Republican from Alabama, reached out to me for a meeting.
We met at a coffee shop, where the aide, who was Stephen Miller, pitched an idea: liberals who care about American workers should join forces with immigration restrictionists.
Fewer immigrants, he contended, would mean more jobs available for American citizens.
This encounter was a precursor to Miller's future role in shaping anti-immigration policies.
