Around the country, Republicans are seeking to rewrite voting registration laws and file lawsuits over noncitizen voting. In Wisconsin, it’s coming down to a fight over the state constitution.
MILWAUKEE — Panic took hold of Roselia Navarro when Donald Trump first campaigned for president on a promise to ramp up deportations.

Point taken.

Do you hear yourself Martha? It was ONLY a handful of apartment buildings. Smh
Paddy Marley is a pretty common WP moron. Nothing rare about that meatball.
The communist/neomarxist cult have always played the long game. It’s the one thing they’re good at. Destroy the melting pot culture AND destroy the government, both from within.
Rare??? No bias here, folks!
Five words into the title and they’ve lied already.
If the hordes crossing the border tended to vote Republican, the border would be sealed tight. Of this there is no doubt.
One vote is one too many.
Patrick Marley is a well-known Democrat activist who has never written an unbiased article. For years he wrote for the Milwaukee paper, now for the Compost.
The Washington Post dies in darkness!
