Miller, Kushner: Battling power players at White House

Miller, the unrelenting hard-liner, sees illegal and legal immigration as existential threats to national security and the American worker, and views Trump as a generational voice willing to make dramatic changes. Kushner, a former Democratic-leaning real estate developer, sees a broken immigration system as another intractable Washington problem that could be solved with the right deal. That leaves them working at cross purposes at times. Two weeks ago, Kushner was among those whom Homeland Security officials worked with to get the president to back off. Kushner is seen as someone who can be trusted to calm Trump down, not spin him up, as they feel Miller tends to do on immigration.
