Our View Border opening will aid trade and safety
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that President Bush can allow Mexican trucks on U S highways without a prior environmental study though one may still occur. The ruling ends a border restriction tied to NAFTA and argues wider access benefits both nations. Mexican truck safety concerns mirror those for U S and Canadian fleets, while reduced barriers could lower shipping costs and boost cross border commerce.

Hate laws, praise and policy in hate crime debate
Steve Chapman argues against a new federal hate crimes bill expanding protections for gender sexual orientation and disability. He contends existing laws already punish violence, federal expansion risks overreach, and Supreme Court limits require interstate conduct to trigger federal action. He cites Byrd and Shepard cases and notes state resources differ.

Mei in China Adoption Reflects Family Bonds
Jacob Sullum candidly recounts adopting Mei in China, detailing the emotional strain of separation, Mei’s shy, subdued behavior, and the mixed perceptions of international adoption. He notes head measurements and health, the blunt reality of a traumatizing first meeting, and broader context on China’s one child policy and gender imbalance shaping who is available for adoption. Mei’s adaptability contrasts with parental complexities, as the writer affirms a cautious optimism while acknowledging uncomfortable truths.
