A staffer for Sen. Jeff Sessions, later identified as Stephen Miller, reached out to me for a meeting about a dozen years ago.
We met at a coffee shop, where he pitched an idea: liberals who care about American workers should join forces with immigration restrictionists.
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 a precursor to Miller's future role in shaping anti-immigration policies.
