Anti-immigrant backlash is nothing new, say sociology and criminology experts, who point to attacks against Irish, Italian and Polish immigrants about 100 years ago
he profanity-filled text message called them “animals” and warned them to “be ready” for a militia gearing up to fight — because “everyone who hates illegals know where you live.”
Jerson, a Venezuelan who came to Colorado in December, had been selling empanadas, arepas and Gatorade to people living in his apartment complex as they finished their work day, and he had included his phone number on the green poster-board menu that he hung in his apartment window.
A photo of the menu — including his phone number — ended up on X, with the author of the post saying “Venezuelan gangs open restaurant.”
Then came the text: “I hope you know the Colorado veterans are building a militia with more fire power then you guys could ever imagine.”

Residents more concerned about rodents, bed bugs, leaky ceilings

Meanwhile, some city officials sided with the landlord and “blamed an ethnicity group,” Reeves said.

Nadeen Ibrahim, who is the organizing director for the East Colfax Community Collective and has been helping people in east Denver and Aurora find housing, said the way the Venezuelan gang story blew up across the internet “110% involved racism.”

What deranged drivel did I just read?

Okay then ..
It’s sexists too
All the gang members appear to be male
Is fear of being labeled a racist fueling denials of a Venezuelan gang “takeover” of apartment buildings in Aurora?,
Well I dunno- let’s ask the terrorized and terrified residents who were victims of the gang members going door to door armed to the teeth
That must have been a job of work leaving those off.
I think it might have been the video of men carrying all those guns which raised concerns about a gang taking over the apartments. But what do I know?
Anti ILLEGAL aliens, not anti immigrant.
They know there’s a difference, but that exposes their Leftist lies.
Racism is fueling the Dreamers in their invasion, murder, rape, and theft of whitey.
Lol- the answer is a huge yes to that question.
Like most of the media, Colorado Sun is leftist garbage.
Yawn.
American Leftist 1: “hey, we are in trouble over this armed migrant gang thing in Colorado. How do we solve this?”
American Leftist 2: “I know, whip out the racism thingy”
Harris doesn’t want gun control for Illegals they must be free to kill
Zackly.
What deranged drivel did I just read?

Brainless wenches like this are why women weren’t allowed to vote.
I wonder how her views might change if she had some up close experience with these misunderstood ’migrants’.
