Instead of cutting immigration in half, let's
President Trump is supporting an immigration bill from Republican Senators Tom Cotton (R AR) and David Perdue (R-GA) that would replace, as The New York Times explains, "a system that favors family ties in deciding who can legally move to the United States with one based on skills and employability." But the end result, according to a Cotton aide, would be to cut immigration to America in half. Given what problems confront the US economy today, isn't that off point?

"There's nothing so classy as a policy wonk reveling in vindication. And I'm nothing if not classy," writes Andrew Biggs. "But there's a bigger purpose to be served." Biggs is referring to an argument he made in 2014 about the ballyhooed "retirement crisis," explaining that once you correct for poor measurement of retirement incomes, retirees are a lot better off than you think. A new study with access to confidential IRS data backs up the claim.
