Wes Moore wants immigration reform. Can he work with Stephen Miller?

The governor of Maryland. Wes Moore said Democrats should work toward bipartisan deals, including on immigration, with Stephen Miller – despite the “well of distrust” he maintains towards the new White House chief of staff.

Moore, potential Democratic presidential candidate in 2028, told POLITICO’s Alex BurnsAs of Tuesday, even though Miller is “the architect of some of the most racist, xenophobic and homophobic policies we have,” he still believes it is possible to negotiate with the White House to make it easier to target illegal immigrants living in the United States.

“One thing I’ve always told the people of my state is that I will work with anyone, I won’t bow to anyone,” he said at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s B20 Summit.

“I would have liked there to be a different team, because I think it’s mistrust that Stephen Miller and his policies have been deeply poisoned,” the governor continued. “But I still want to make sure that we are doing good things on behalf of the people in our jurisdictions, and I think we have a window to do that.”
