Washington As President Donald Trump pushed his administration in recent weeks to take the drastic step of shutting down the US southern border, one key adviser fed Trump's impulse: Stephen Miller, the President's 33-year-old senior policy adviser and chief speechwriter who has long channeled Trump's hardline immigration views.
As most of the President's advisers sought to dissuade him from the idea, warning the economic consequences would be devastating, Miller encouraged the President to move forward with shutting down some ports of entry, two administration officials said.While Trump was ultimately convinced to back down, Miller's stance solidified his position in Trump's mind as the chief facilitator of the President's hardline instincts and appears to have won him more power.
