Colorado’s Democrat U.S. Senators voted against amendments to the trillion-dollar omnibus bill on Thursday to keep Title 42 restrictions in place at the southern border and slow the tide of migrants abusing a broken asylum system.
Their blind eye comes as thousands of migrants are waiting to rush the border as soon as the health-code restrictions are lifted that allows border patrol to quickly expel migrants without processing.
Once across the border, migrants are being bused nationwide including Colorado, which has already spent nearly $4 million just to handle the December influx.
It comes as no surprise that Mike Bennet or John Hickenlooper are totally cool with the open border and surge on Denver, because they’re actually urging them to keep coming.
The omnibus spending measure has been bogged down by border security issues all week, with some Republicans insisting that funding to protect our own border be included in the package that contained border funding for other countries.

An amendment by Republican U.S. Sen. Sen. Mike Lee of Utah proposed blocking the Biden administration from rescinding Title 42. It failed on a 47-50 vote.
Democrats up for reelection in 2024 put up their own amendment to temporarily preserve Title 42, with lots of money to speed up border processing for phony asylum seekers and build more shelters.
It crashed and burned on a vote of 10 to 87, but it gives them political cover so they don’t care.
The 10 who voted for the Democrat amendment are Republican Thom Tillis of North Carolina, and Democrats Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly of Arizona; Sherrod Brown of Ohio; Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire; Joe Manchin of West Virginia; Jon Ossoff of Georgia; and Jacky Rosen of Nevada.
Hick and Bennet voted no on both amendments.
