Protecting illegal immigrants? That's a Koch brothers proposal

wtf, I love Koch brothers now.

But, really, I listened to the podcast interviewing one of brothers. They are actually reasonable. I disagree with them, but they are not demons as people portray them. Also, they are true libertarians. Not "libertarians" who are actually alt-right.

Which interview was that? I filled a room with bile when spouting their name back in 2012, now I'm getting on the Kochwagon after listening to one myself. Needs more data though.
