The Globe is portraying Thompson’s non-plan as “tough” while portraying amnesty as a moderately tough plan to curb illegal immigration. If the Globe is mischaracterizing on Fred’s behalf, it must mean that they like Fred.

The Boston Globe is a New York Times company, and they've been consistently hostile to Fred, so your theory doesn't hold water. Nice try, though.
