And yet today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum.

Division is the oldest trick in politics, and the cheapest.

American exceptionalism, the conventional wisdom tells us, makes our freedom a little more free.
