My coffee with Stephen Miller

My Coffee with Stephen Miller

A staffer for Sen. Jeff Sessions, later revealed to be Stephen Miller, reached out to me for a meeting about a dozen years ago.

We met at a coffee shop near my office, where he 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.
