Can the United States come up with an immigration policy that will prove sustainable? Two writers whom I respect and take delight in reading, despite their widely differing views, Tyler Cowen , who favors more immigration, and Christopher Caldwell , who favors less, have their doubts. Both, incidentally, are writing for the Free Press , Bari Weiss’s eclectic startup.

They are writing at a time when President Donald Trump ’s Executive Branch is splashily and aggressively enforcing supposedly unenforceable immigration laws, and Congress still has Trumpish Republican majorities. Illegal immigration has been reduced toward zero, and the political stars seem in alignment, at least theoretically, for reductions in legal immigration as well.
