You’ve posed this narrative so beautifully. You don’t focus on the negative at all, (although WOW so much great data — I’ll be reading for a while and referring others to it!!!); instead, you lean into the story of one illustrative immigrant.

For me, it’s the whole idea of closing the door after yourself — just horrible and feels “unAmerican”. Kudos for tucking the Statue of Liberty quote in there and making me cry. Shows how wrong mass deportations really are in the scheme of things. Also, your Uncle Herman looks like he could be “a Kiefer” lol.
