Sound Off for July 10
I just want to call and commend you on the Crossing the Line series. Like the ranching articles last year, the stories about immigration in Northwest Colorado are very interesting and well-written. I have heard people complaining about the stories, because the illegal immigrants who are breaking the law. But I think it's the newspaper's job to tell the stories.
