When I walked into Sen. Jeff Sessions’ office several years ago for my first one-on-one visit with him, I knew we could count on him to be a full champion for the rule of law in matters of immigration.

Jiverly Wong, who murdered 13 people in Binghamton on Friday, reportedly was an ethnic Chinese immigrant from Vietnam who seethed from his difficulty in assimilating to America. Does this provide evidence of something special about Chinese immigrants, or Vietnamese immigrants or immigration policies? No, not any more than if Wong had been one of the … Continued
