Congress Should Act on the Border
The National Review Editorial Board writes that “most critics don’t grapple with the fact that the Administration literally doesn’t have the option of holding parents and kids together for more than a few weeks, which isn’t long enough to resolve an asylum claim. Congress needs to address all this.”
The way forward is clear. “The only way that the ongoing influx at the border will stop is if migrants realize that they won’t make it into the United States. Congress has it within its power to make it possible to hold families together and — if they don’t have legitimate asylum claims — swiftly return them home together. It should act, and act quickly.”

“Small-business owners and their employees often struggle to find affordable health-care options. A major reason is that ObamaCare, among other laws, makes coverage more expensive for small businesses than large companies. That’s why the Trump administration is expanding access to association health plans, or AHPs, beginning Tuesday,” Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta writes in The Wall Street Journal.

In The Hill, Joe Patton writes that “free trade only works when fair trade is enforced. For lumber, a level playing field has helped this industry begin to reach its full potential, so we can hire more workers, and help build more American homes with American lumber.” Patton explains that he’s spent four decades in the wood products industry, having “witnessed firsthand the damage Canada’s unfair trading practices have had on lumbers mills in the United States.”
