What a swing House district in Colorado shows about Republicans' immigration fallout in the midterms

GREELEY, Colo (AP) — Like many Donald Trump voters, Miranda Niedermeier is not opposed to immigration enforcement. She was heartened by initial moves from the Republican president in his second term that she saw as targeting immigrants who were in the United States illegally and had committed crimes.

But Niedermeier, 35, has steadily become disillusioned with Trump. Never more so than in recent weeks, when federal immigration officers killed two U.S. citizens during Trump’scrackdownin Minneapolis.

“In the beginning, they were getting criminals, but now they’re tearing people out of immigration proceedings, looking for the tiniest traffic infraction” to deport someone, said Niedermeier. She said she is horrified because the administration’s approach is not Christian.

“It shouldn’t be life and death,” she said. “We’re not a Third World country. What the hell is going on?”

Well, for starters, you and far too many others stupidly voted for a hateful racist and bigot for president.

Worse, you knew Trump is a hateful racist and bigot, so you and your fellow Trump voters are responsible for all the death and killings, responsible for turning America into a lawless third world country.

Trump’s immigration agenda is motivated by racism, bigotry, and hate, motivated by spreading fear and intimidation through political violence, having nothing to do with removing dangerous criminals from the country.
