With a straight face and without a hint of irony, Gov. Polis is busing migrants from the sanctuary city of Denver to New York insisting they don’t really want to be here and he’s just helping them reach their destination.
PeakNation™ will recall the nearly 4,000 creative border crossers who have arrived in Denver in as many weeks were transported from Texas by immigration activists who insisted the migrants were going to cities of their choosing.
Axios reports on Polis’s busing initiative:
Why it matters: The Democratic governor’s move echoes actions by Republican governors in Texas and Florida that were labeled callous and cruel.
Will Polis’s actions be labeled as callous or cruel?
Of course not. New York Mayor Eric Adams just called it unfair and insisted we all have a national obligation to take care of everyone who crosses the border illegally.
That obligation being free housing, free health care. Maybe the Democrats can revive the free Obama phone program so the unwilling visitors can check out the latest Tik Tok video while phoning home.
For all the posturing of Denver as a sanctuary city for what used to be called illegal immigrants before it was shortened to migrants so as not to offend, it’s turned out to be a very expensive bus stop.
So far, it’s cost Colorado taxpayers $5 million.
Denver Mayor Hancock even admits the failure:
“States and cities not on the border are ill-equipped to address these challenges, and absent federal support and leadership, we’re left to strategize and take actions to ensure this vulnerable population – people who’ve come here with no resources or means – are safe and treated humanely,” Hancock said in a statement.
In other words, they were safely and humanely bused the Hell out of there to be someone else’s problem.
