Millions fear deportation under new rules unveiled by the Trump administration.

“There’s nothing wrong with any country insisting that their laws be followed.’’

A US sheriff explains why he supports Trump’s crackdown on unauthorised immigrants; immigrants at a “day labour” centre consider “self-deporting”; a city debates offering “sanctuary” to undocumented immigrants and things get ugly; Chandran Kukathas, a political science professor, asks why we even need borders; a businessman spends $1 million of his own money to help settle Syrian refugees; and a Swedish director learns that you can't direct a cat.
