Trump halts all Afghan immigration after a National Guard shooting in Washington.
Families say their incomes are falling behind rising costs.
And the New York Times turns an illegal identity thief into a supposed victim.
Security, solvency, and the stories we tell about both. Today’s news connects the dots.
Trump Orders Halt to Afghan Immigration After National Guard Shooting
