With very few exceptions, liberals in the United States favor high levels of immigration; and the American left goes further, calling to "Abolish ICE" (a reference to Immigration Customs and Enforcement, America's border security agency). But developments in Europe suggest this near-unanimity could one day shatter.
There are reasonable objections to President Donald Trump's declaration of a national emergency to use military appropriations to build a barrier on the U.S.-Mexican border.
As someone who lives in California and is thrilled that state lawmakers are taking steps to ban fur, foie gras and other cruelly produced items, I'd like to respond to "California considers banning fur" (Web, March 4).
In his introduction to "Daily Rituals: Women at Work," Mason Currey reminds readers of his earlier book "Daily Rituals: Artists at Work," a compilation of descriptions of how artists in various media manage their workdays.
As a Texan who believes fossil-fuel use causes climate change, I find Ryan Sitton's March 4 op-ed misleading ("A nightmare for the American dream, and a tyrant's expensive fantasy," Web).
The reality is this: R. Kelly is in denial and scared to death of facing the music that he and his entourage wrote the score to.
Ted Leonsis seems to have found a way to get the dwindling, diminished, demolished Washington Wizards fanbase fired up and passionate about something: The boss is considering cutting loose perhaps the only good thing about the basketball team.
The Democratic-controlled House Judiciary Committee launched a sweeping investigation this week to determine if there are grounds for President Trump's impeachment.
That dazzling light streaking through the Democratic firmament is AOC on her way to being the Democrats' 2020 presidential-nomination queen-maker.
It looks like China has been tuning in faithfully to the Trump-Russia Show over the last two years, especially the episode about illegal immigration. You know -- the one where the judicial branch of government prevents the commander-in-chief from actually ensuring the national security of the United States.
Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar has made international headlines by suggesting, slyly and without naming names, that America's historic support of Israel is tantamount to American lawmakers' "allegiance" to a foreign nation. As if. Follow the money trail, and it seems America's more in "allegiance" with the Muslim-dominated countries.
Joe Lieberman, former senator and vice presidential nominee, offered some stern words to the Democrats rallying around Rep. Ilhan Omar right now that went like this: Tread carefully. Rallying about anti-Semitism could come back to bite. You don't say. But to Democrats -- apparently, even anti-Semitic comments are worthy of defense.
Just as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her socialist principles warn of a shocking, trending direction of America's domestic politics, Rep. Ilhan Omar's anti-Semitic statements serve as a harbinger of what could be coming down the pike for U.S. foreign policy.
In 2020, Democrats will be able to enjoy an unruly presidential primary, much as Republicans did four years earlier.

Four days after receiving a gene therapy treatment designed to address spinal muscular atrophy, the patient grew listless.
As Scripture puts it, suffer not the little children. Unless, of course, they can be weaponized for political gain.
President Harry Truman once said, "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog." That truism can now be applied to baseball players, notably Bryce Harper.
Occupy Wall Street. Income inequality. "The 99%." Free health care for all. Guaranteed minimum income. Politicians on the left have made these their go-to sound bites. There is no escape from the incessant bellowing about the unfairness that some have more than others. Socialism must be the answer, they say. Well, to them I reply, Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Greece and every other country that has tried socialism.
Fifty years ago, the United States was facing crises and unrest on multiple fronts. Some predicted that internal chaos and revolution would unravel the nation.
