The Collateral Damage of the Immigration Debate This may be a "nation of immigrants," but unauthorized immigrants are no longer welcomed as “huddled masses yearning to be free. When their US-born children live in fear that their parents will be deported, they are collateral damage from harsh new policies. The title of a new book says it all: Forgotten Citizens: Deportation, Children and the Making of American Exiles and Orphans . It's about the people getting left out of the long, loud debate about immigration, the children of undocumented immigrants. The author is Luis Zayas, dean of the School of Social Work at the University of Texas, Austin.

Trump plays scolder-in-chief with NATO allies At the opening of NATO’s dramatic new headquarters in Brussels today, President Trump acknowledged that Article 5 — promising that “an attack on one nation is an attack on all” -- has only been invoked one time: in the aftermath of September 11. But the President failed to provide what 27 other Alliance members have been waiting for: a re-commitment by America’s new leader to Article 5. Instead, they got a scolding.

Human Rights in the era of Donald Trump President Trump’s UN Ambassador, Nikki Haley, said today the US might pull out of the United Nations’ Human Rights Council.
