Well, I drove across it a few times.

"The six people who died were all immigrants from Latin America, according to officials and their families. As conservative lawmakers continue to demonize immigrants, the tragedy serves as a timely reminder of the essential role these people play in fueling the U.S. economy. To be clear, immigrants contribute much more to the country than their labor. But highlighting their economic contributions — and the risks that immigrants take to make them — is just one way to call out the right-wing bigots who claim they want America to prosper yet malign people who help make that prosperity possible."

"'The Baltimore bridge collapse victims were all immigrants. Here’s why we can’t ignore that.'

'The human stories at the heart of the bridge collapse undermine conservatives’ racist rhetoric about Latin American immigrants.'"
