Advocates for illegal immigrants in Colorado assert that "immigrant-bashing" in on the rise in Colorado.

"Immigrant-bashing." Sounds scary. The Denver Post article describing concern about this trend, however, cites only one example of said bashing:

Organizers did not want to focus on the recent outcry over the illegal status of 19-year- old Raul Garcia-Gomez, the man suspected of killing Denver police Detective Donald Young, but they acknowledged it was part of the recent bashing.

It appears there has been no physical "bashing" of immigrants in Denver, just common-sense speech by citizens fed up with lax immigration enforcement.
