...Rasmussens in Denmark), who became Prime Minister that year, crafted a compromise that kept the high taxes and most of the social protections but cut unemployment benefits (which replace about 90% of earnings) from nine years to four and beefed up job-retraining programs in a big way. This approach, which over the years came to be known as "flexicurity," seemed to work. Unemployment fell; the economy grew.

Those who deal with the realities of immigration on a day-to-day basis, like governors of the border states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California should be the model for how we approach the issue. It’s no coincidence that they all oppose the border wall, and yet two are Democrats and two Republicans. Despite dissimilar political ideologies, they all understand that a wall is not the solution...
