From Scott Bauer of the AP writer in Nebraska comes this interesting snapshot of immigration issues in one little piece of the heartland. The end of the article pulls together the interesting clash of people's impressions and statistics. It looks like the presence of different people give an impression of worsening conditions while the numbers don't reflect that. So do we listen to anecdotal evidence or statistical? Are we looking at this in any sort of scientific way? Are we communicating this collected data to the public?
