It should be obvious by now that the Trump administration's effort to remove large numbers of people who entered the country illegally is not only built on lies, but is doing far more harm than good. There is clear public support for Trump's effort to secure the border, but immigration reform has three parts, not one. It must include fixing the asylum system and creating more paths to legal status.

Speaking in the House of Commons, Mahmood said: "If we fail to deal with this crisis, we will draw more people down a path that starts with anger and ends in hatred." The reforms will make refugee status temporary, extend the wait for permanent settlement from five years to 20, and allow the removal of families with children who have no right to remain.

"The bill strengthens our laws to ensure law enforcement has the right tools needed to keep our borders secure, combat transnational organized crime, and stop the flow of illegal fentanyl."

"I did good," one vendor told me when I asked him how he thought Trump fared in his first 100 days."
