Political figures who have demonized immigrants in order to build up their credibility with the far right, share in the responsibility for this violence.
At least 7 people are dead and at least half a dozen are injured after a Texas driver “intentionally” drove a Range Rover into a crowd of migrants outside a Catholic Charities shelter in Brownsville, Texas today.

No one is "demonizing" immigrants. We are demonizing Mayorkas and Biden who keep letting them in while telling us the border is closed. You are very dishonest Williamson.

You spelled "illegal aliens" wrong. The vast majority of Americans, on both sides of the aisle, welcome LEGAL immigrants. Criminal border jumpers, not so much. This is not hard to understand, why do you pretend not to?

I’m devastated by this & despise the rhetoric used against immigrants. But I also feel like you’re using this horrific incident in an opportunistic way. Why not just express grief & tell us what you will do to stop this? I’m sick of marginalized ppl being used by BOTH sides.

They are NOT immigrants - they are illegals. They are mostly single well dressed young men - not families. I would guess many are drug smugglers, cartel members, terrorists & sex traffickers. Don’t be ignorant & naive.

Absolutely. The mainstream media also shares blame for the continued use of the word “migrants” rather than just people. They signaling to other yt people that these were not yts that were hurt

I'm a democrat but putting down another party isn't the way to get elected into office. Not good statesmanship. Instead talk policy and what you would do to make things better. You need to drop out of the race otherwise you're handing votes to Biden.
