Agree or disagree with the Supreme Court’s decision on birthright citizenship today, it leaves the government with many ways to address the practical problems that policy creates. From my new column:

The U.S. has not only historically been able to deter illegal immigration while following the birthright citizenship rule, it’s doing it right now. President Donald Trump’s success in controlling the southern border is proof that he does not need to prevail on birthright citizenship to crack down on illegal immigration. And the government could do much more to shrink the illegal population over time, such as requiring employers to verify the legal status of new hires. . . .
