You Cannot Save the World by Sacrificing Your Own (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com. We are constantly told that immigration policy is about compassion. Protect the vulnerable. Help people fleeing poverty, violence and instability. Give people a chance at a better life. But there is a question that too often gets left out: What happens when policies designed to protect some people create new dangers for others? I know what that question looks like because I buried my da
'Abolish ICE' Is Not a Plan. It’s an Irresponsible Gamble With Public Safety. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com. My daughter Katie was 20 years old when she was killed on January 19, 2025, in Urbana, Illinois.

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com. Calling Katie’s death “just a DUI” is more than technically convenient. It is an act of absolution. A DUI happens every day. The driver made a terrible decision. The government had nothing to do with it. What could anyone have done? Calling it a DUI allows Illinois to absolve itself of everything that came before the crash. It cuts off responsibility before anyone asks the harder questi
When Government Stops Asking Questions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com. When something goes terribly wrong, we expect government to ask questions. Investigations begin. Decisions are examined. Timelines are reconstructed. We ask what happened, whether procedures were followed, whether different decisions could have produced a different outcome, and how to reduce the chances of it happening again. But that instinct often becomes less certain when the decisio
