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

“It 110% involved racism”

Meanwhile, some city officials sided with the landlord and “blamed an ethnicity group,” Reeves said.
“It’s gross,” 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.”
Tenants believe the public now thinks they are associated with criminal activity and that their apartment buildings are so dangerous that “people shouldn’t even go there without a police escort,” Ibrahim said.

And isn’t it funny that these deranged liberals who cry racism aren’t at all concerned about gun control here as Tren de Aragua openly assaults residents with - well - with guns.
The conniving Venezuelans are building a case to collect big bucks.
Musta been one of the things on their Must Do when I get to America list.
That's all it is. Racism. Americans are bad. And racist.
Who allowed this idiot "journalist" near a keyboard anyway?
Just remember kiddies...it’s racist to have borders.
Invasion is a civil right, but only if you’re a non-White.
I wold suggest Jennifer head on over to Aurora and try and buy some empanadas, arepas or Gatorade from Jerson.
Report back if you get back.
That’s what has America in the trouble it’s in right now. Excuse everything. Play the race card. Don’t hold people responsible for what they do. Make excuses for them. Princess Jenny needs to be flippin’ burgers.
No, disarming migrants would be racist.
Hey! This is aurora, colorado, not martha’s vineyard.
Live with it!
At the turn of the 20th century a large influx of Italian immigrants flooded into NYC. Along with them came the Black Hand, the notorious gang depicted in Godfather II, who preyed on fellow immigrants. No doubt the most vulnerable to gang violence in Aurora are other illegal aliens.

Residents on Martha’s vineyard are not even safe from illegals.

Never accept the “racism” shtick. You wouldn’t accept this behavior from anyone. The fact they are in some way colored matters not. Racism is a communist term used to silence the majority, or to “other” a problematic group.
They’re not “immigrants” - they’re ILLEGAL ALIENS and they are GANGSTERS.
As Rush said, a “Racist” is someone winning an argument with a Liberal.
So the problem is caused by slumlords, not Venezuelan gangs?
Why can’t both be true? Why does to have to be one thing or the other?
Are Venezuelans a race?
Yeah, I’d like to challenge this dippy phoney Jennifer Brownq (sp? WTH?) to do what I did last Tuesday and do a drive by of the apartments and surrounding neighborhood. Unlike me, she can park, get out of her car (unarmed, of course), and go knock on doors for interviews. I wanna see how “non-racist” she is.
I was thining about the gang violence that took control back in the 20's. Prohibition had a lot to do with that violence. But the FBI really organized and took action against organized crime. Today's FBI is too busy looking for white Christians and ignoring warning signs of an imminent school shooting.
No doubt the most vulnerable to gang violence in Aurora are other illegal aliens.
First they came for the other illegal aliens.....
