The country's immigration dilemma will almost surely rise to new levels of political passion and rancor.
More than any other issue in America today, the immigration issue is definitional-hinging upon questions of what kind of country America is and what kind of country it is going to be.
Another large population segment, perhaps also close to half, views mass immigration and hospitable borders as an integral part of the country's humanitarian heritage and a fundamental element of its definition.
Many issues helped propel Donald Trump to the presidency in 2016, including the hollowing out of the country's industrial base, the economic savaging of its working class, the promiscuous foreign policy initiatives of presidents Bush and Obama, and America's decline as a global force.
Trump voters were inclined to believe that the country's elites-globalists at heart-didn't really care about borders.
How? According to news reports, more caravans are forming up in Guatemala and other Central American countries, and the fate of the lead group is widely viewed as guidance for the others on how to proceed.
Trump calls the country's immigration laws "a disgrace," and Wall Street Journal columnist Dan Henninger considers.
