29+ min ago (449+ words) Afghan "refugee" Rahmanullah Lakanwal's alleged murderous rampage in Washington, DC, raises major red flags about America's hopelessly flawed immigration system " perhaps enough to finally trigger fundamental reform. The details of whether and how Lakanwal got vetted are (for this purpose) beside the point: The far larger issue is the insane proliferation of programs that admit foreigners, each with different standards for everything " not just for whether the authorities adequately assess the risks.

An epidemic sweeping the country's roadways and causing human trafficking victims to vanish without a trace is being highlighted on the heels of one of the largest child-smuggling busts in United States history.
