Colorado Governor Jared Polis was going to “help” migrants in his state.
Polis stated that migrants who voiced a desire to end up in other sanctuary cities, like New York City and Chicago, would be aided by his administration.
The plan was to stick them on buses for their preferred final location.
That plan has now been trashed after significant pushback from Dems.
Too Close
The problem for Polis is that his plan is exactly what Governor Abbott has been doing in Texas.
And we know how vocal Democrats have been in opposing that.
Polis, in announcing his busing program, stated, “People fleeing violence and oppression in search of a better life for themselves and their families deserve our respect not political games and we are grateful we have been able to assist migrants to reach their final destination.
“We refuse to keep people against their will if they desire to travel elsewhere.”
Mayor Adams of New York and Lightfoot of Chicago sent Polis a letter telling him to back off his busing program.
The letter stated, “We have seen your statements in the media that you are simply accommodating the wishes of migrants to come to cities like New York City and Chicago.
“However, you are sending migrants and families to New York City and Chicago that do not have any ties, family members or community networks to welcome them.”
Adams added, “One time we had to deal with Republican governors sending migrants to New York.
“Now we’re dealing with Democratic governors sending migrants to New York.
“What’s callous is how we have been ignored as a city.
“And now I have to make tough decisions on the resources of New York … it is time for the federal government to step up.”
Uhm, I hate to break it to you Mayor Adams, but Texas and Arizona been dealing this for two years, so forgive me if I have no empathy for you.
