CHARLES COOKE: Of Course We Should Deport Jihadis’ Immediate Families.

If I had answered yes to any of the questions above — or, for that matter, to the hundreds of similar questions I answered over the years — my applications would have been delayed while I accounted for myself, and rejected if I could not. And, remember, I was living legally in the U.S., with a job, a wife, kids, a mortgage, and I was seeking work visas, permanent residency, and citizenship.
