My coffee with Stephen Miller

My Coffee with Stephen Miller

A staffer for Sen. Jeff Sessions, who was the ultraconservative Republican from Alabama, reached out to me about a dozen years ago to meet.

We met at a coffee shop, where he pitched an idea: liberals who care about American workers should join forces with immigration restrictionists, as fewer immigrants would mean more jobs for American citizens.

Shouldn’t liberals who care about American workers make common cause with immigration restrictionists? Fewer immigrants, he contended, would mean more jobs available for American citizens.

This encounter was with Stephen Miller, who would later become a key figure in the anti-immigration movement.
