OK, I am awake. In order to properly respond, I will need to take a little time to review and assess all of your statements, as well as those of Dr. Phil (a homework assignment I do not particularly relish, but which, in order to give  a more analytical, less emotional reply, I must do). 

I stand by my conviction that this will be helpful to me, as well as you, should you be open to hearing another narrative. I don't want to buy someone else's narrative wholesale, and so I am forced to forge my own out of the raw materials I may find, doing what I must refer to as "my own research." This has become a much maligned phrase of late, as it usually means, "I googled it and confirmed what I already believe." 

Confirmation bias is the crux of why this nation is at loggerheads these days, it seems. The internet is awash with readily available "proof" of just about anything from conspiracies about aliens, time-travel, moon landing/no moon landing, flat-earth, etc. to the more mainstream political fictions. (I believe this is by design, to muddy the waters and make it too exhausting to discern truth in an age of media manipulation.) But somewhere, in an unspun, unvarnished state, the truth is actually out there. Whether we'll agree on it or even recognize it when we find it is another story. But let's get there first. 

This reply is not my response to your immigration statement, about which I have some serious disagreements, but also, possibly, some areas of consensus.  This is more of a preamble from me while I grumble about my homework assignment. 

I will have to pull the weeds, while leaving the desired plants intact. Not an easy job, as you know if you have done much gardening. If I just indiscriminately make statements, without proper fact checking, I may wind up giving the impression of throwing out the baby with the bathwater, or burning down the garden in toto in order to eradicate the weeds. That wouldn't be a service to "my side," and I'd be guilty of doing what I accuse the media manipulators of doing. And it certainly wouldn't win anyone over. 

So, I'll have to do what I've spent years of my life avoiding: digging in and doing the work, and honestly, right now, I just want breakfast.

Talk more later. Have a great day, Miles!
