A reader has expressed disappointment in a recent column by Bryan Whiting, typically known for his thoughtful and researched pieces. The reader feels that Whiting's latest column strayed from his usual standard by quoting a myth about noncitizens voting and holding congressional seats.

The reader takes issue with Whiting's question about what motivates people to immigrate, suggesting that the answer is not as simple as the availability of benefits like housing and healthcare.

Further details on the reader's response to Whiting's column are available from the Glenwood Springs Post Independent.
