Apparently the el paso shooter is left wing:

His manifesto expressed support for the 'Great Replacement' theories, bemoaned Hispanic immigration saying it was a ploy by the Democrats to ensure control and expressed support for the Christchurch killings. That doesn't seem left-wing to me. He does seem to have expressed left-wing ideas into how the economy should be structured.

I mean in the end, I am happy to call it an incidence white nationalist act of terrorism as it's these ideas he expresses as his motivation.

Its just possible that he's bonkers and not making any sense. People like that are vulnerable if guns are readily available and easily led by the hateful crap Trump spouts. The solution is not executing a possibly mentally ill bloke but making such events impossible to happen in the first place, and those in power not provoking them for their own political gain.

Its backfired on Trump but most of his core support lack brain cells so no worry...

You appear to be confusing the El Paso shooter (Damien's quote) with the Dayton shooter (your quote).

The report comes as the number of migrants coming across the southern border continues to skyrocket. Roughly 109,000 people crossed in April, according to DHS, a number expected to increase in May.

That's just in El Paso.

Quote:

A group of lawmakers visited two border facilities in Clint and El Paso, Texas, on Monday, and they made sure everyone knew about the poor living conditions they saw by sharing graphic details of their trip via Twitter. The visit was organized by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus after reports about the Clint border facility indicated that migrant children were being neglected.

They weren't there to represent Americans and America as a whole, IE THEY are the racists.

Since then, the share and number of immigrants have increased rapidly, mainly because of large-scale immigration from Latin America and Asia, with the foreign-born population standing at 44.5 million as of 2017.
...
In 2017, Mexicans accounted for approximately 25 percent of immigrants in the United States, making them by far the largest foreign-born group.
