For what it’s worth, I support the idea of immigration reform, including limiting immigration from countries with which we are engaged in hostilities. Here are a few bits of reportage on the topic of the recent immigration executive order. I chose them based on the fact that they weresimply reporting the situation. I am putting them here in an effort to encourage you to think and let think. Every side has another side, and good laws are made by... Read more
