Summary
President Trump responded to last week's Afghan terror attack by pledging a total shutdown on migration from nearly 20 countries, and new policies to encourage low-value immigrants to return home. Rich Baris thinks this framing of the issue will fire up the president's base while luring Democrats into promoting unpopular policies. Heather Mac Donald punctures the "over-incarceration myth" and explains why putting far more criminals in prison is a quick ticket to making American life better across the board.
