I am a senior fellow of the Institute for Justice and Journalism and director of the Immigration in the Heartland program, a joint project of IJJ and OU’s Gaylord College. I have 26 years of professional reporting and editing experience for newspapers in Washington, California, Texas and Oklahoma. I spent 16 years in the Washington Bureau of the Los Angeles Times, where I covered the White House, Treasury, Iraq, elections, energy, the economy and other assignments. I also worked as an assignment editor responsible for directing teams of reporters covering the White House, Congress, Supreme Court, State Department, Defense Department, CIA, FBI, politics, domestic policy and national security.
