(Wisconsin) Thank you, Rob.

You are correct. Here in the Midwest we just don't see many immigrants without documentation. I worked in management at small business and did HR, payroll, etc. I did not encounter immigrants here illegally but ONE time. When I did it really surprised me. Texas and Florida have more issues just due to their location. It's common sense. So if the goal is not to enforce immigration it is clearly something else. Common sense. Also doesn't take a rocket scientist to narrow the options.

As usual you are plenty cogent and plenty well researched - as befits your status as a premier journalist. I'm gonna share this with our Disciples of Democracy folks and load up for future podcasts exploring this very important and very crucial topic. Thank you, Rob

You make perfect sense, Rob. I believe every word because I know of your career integrity. Problem is, when unbiased facts bleed into opinion you've just switched sides. Now you appear to have become part of the alleged media MAGA echo chamber. I know you know that. It's an impossible wire to walk these days. I suggest that you allow yourself the occasional aside to acknowledge that and give your skeptical reader pause. Or maybe, just keep Archer's Line two separate pieces: the facts and your insight.

I know. I can't imagine having to walk this line from either perspective. Danny Glover had it right: I'm too old for this shit. But thank you for your effort to care and matter.
