Don’t build a wall, the Democrats say. Let everybody in, they say. Seriously? Coronavirus is on the loose. Could undocumented immigrants be carriers?

That’s what happens during a pandemic: Movement spreads the disease. The immigrants and the homeless will be carriers and among the first victims. It sort of underscores President Trump’s point in more than an existential or metaphysical sense. It’s just common sense.

It doesn’t matter if this virus ends in a whimper. Its very occurrence makes a good point for having measures in place in case of potentially overwhelming events.



Control travel and immigration. Fortify health care.
