I listened to Act II of this episode earlier today. Really interesting and the ending is not what you'd expect. Give it a listen if you're interested in understanding some of the dynamics of undocumented workers in a formerly mostly white town and how they learn to get along. Best quote was, "We wanted workers, we got people instead."

Re: Immigration and Alabama
Could you check to if any of "vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based” or “science-based” are used in that episode?
Don’t believe everything you think.

Re: Immigration and Alabama
No transgender fetuses as far as I know and I don't know if anyone was free-basing. But there may have been some talk about brothels and drug cartels which falls under "diversity" so, my apologies if you were triggered and couldn't find a safe space.

That sent me down a rabbit hole.

I likes some Hick Hop. The Lacs and Moccasin Creek I've seen. Moonshine Bandits soon.
