It’s time for the latest edition of Weekend Dialogue, a weekly column where I go over some reader feedback with the hopes of creating a constructive back-and-forth with readers.
This week, I’m responding to a reader who wants me to acknowledge the law when it comes to my commentary on immigration.
If you want to send any thoughts or comments on my editorials for next week, email me directly at bsessoms@ timesfreepress.com.
