Pres. Donald Trump says he's the only one in charge of setting his immigration policy.
“Frankly, there is only one person that is running it. You know who that is? It's me,” Trump said, pointing at his head, when asked about the Department of Homeland Security and whether he would ever consider appointing Miller to lead DHS."Stephen is an excellent guy. He is a wonderful person. People don't know him. He has been with me from the beginning. He is a brilliant man,” he said of Miller.
The president’s comments come amid reports that Miller has been heavily influencing the president’s decision-making as he has executed top firings at DHS and is looking to crack down on border crossings and make it harder for migrants to apply for asylum. He went on to make the case that the nation’s strong economy is attracting migrants to journey to the US.
