Tolerance? Hispanic contractors receive death threats for bidding to build border wall

The left’s tolerance for diversity of opinion is on display again. This time liberals have unleashed their wrath against Latino contractors who have put up bids to build President Trump’s border wall.

Michael Evangelista-Ysasaga, chief executive and owner of the Fort Worth-based construction firm Penna Group, reported he’s received multiple death threats for putting in a bid to build the wall on the Mexican border, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.

“(Death threats have come from) random people calling into the office and just screaming,” Evangelista-Ysasaga said to WaPo.

He responded by telling people he believed a sovereign nation has a right to protect their borders, to which they’ve told him that he’s betrayed his community.

Of the 200 companies that have put in bids to build the border wall, 32 have been from Hispanic-owned firms. They feel that building such a big project will bring a lot of jobs to their workers.

Al Anderson, general manager of another Hispanic-owned firm KWR Construction, said his workers were attacked by Mexicans whenever they had to do work on the border. Regularly they would hurl rocks at his employees, curse at them in Spanish, and one of his employees even wore a bulletproof vest to work every day.

He said that if they get the bid to build the wall he expects many of his workers will be so intimidated that they’ll just quit out of fear of being harassed.

“We’ll have people who are conscientious objectors against this particular project,” he said to WaPo. “They live in a small community, and they don’t want to get threatening calls in the middle of the night.”

If the tolerant left can’t win elections, then they’ll just threaten people to stop Trump’s agenda.
