        You mean Trump applying the law.

        Rescuing people encourages more to come, which increases danger. Their safest option is to not trek through the desert in the 1st place.

        If he hadn't crossed illegally he wouldn't have ANY problems. We decide how many come. When they decide, that's called invasion.

        Pinker has been my biggest disappointment on Twitter so far; brilliant intellect, witty writer, but tweets are 100% virtue signalling.

        A rational policy to let in the number and kind of people we need without national quotas would be better. Many STEM people, fewer unskilled

        What is the point in a society if you don't abide by the law and respect a nation's borders?
