i saw jeh johnson once, in mcallen, texas. he was touring the border patrol station, and he didn't leave the best impression though he didn't speak to me. he struck me as a man being led around by the nose, not exactly atypical for a lot of appointees. however, he gave a press conference the following monday laying out exactly what he saw at the border and communicated all of the problems that were actually occurring there almost exactly as i saw them, and it was front page news on every newspaper in america. that was in 2014, and it was the first time in ages that illegal immigration had been discussed with such prominence. i like to think i was there for the genesis of the trump campaign's primary platform.
