Gov. Polis has been playing defense since we busted him earlier this week for acting as Hypocrite-in-Chief by busing out migrants seeking assistance in Sanctuary City Denver to be someone else’s problem in New York and Chicago.

The establishment Denver media are also rushing to his aid to spin and obfuscate Polis’ actions as completely different from Republican governors who bused migrants to New York, and gasp, Martha’s Vineyard.

Those migrants were tricked! They thought they were going to some Hellhole, not a resort for rich progressives, or America’s city that has welcomed millions of immigrants over the centuries, the media explained.

But now it’s Hispanic migrant activists in Texas who are tricking migrants and Denver, by claiming they wanted to go to a sanctuary city, in Colorado.

The Colorado Sun’s headline proclaimed:

Colorado governor says his plan to bus migrants out of Denver is “night and day” compared with GOP governors

Republicans relocated migrants because their states could no longer bear the cost, and were getting no help from the federal government.

Whereas the Sun reports:

A surge of migrants arriving in Denver throughout the past month has not only pushed city resources to the brink but catapulted Gov. Jared Polis into an ugly political battle that has governors and mayors pointing fingers about who should take responsibility for immigrants crossing the southern border.

And yet, that is precisely the same as what happened with Republican governors.

It just sounds nicer when Polis says it:

“It’s really night and day,” he said. “It’s always frustrating when you get caught up in a national sensational narrative. I understand this is a national issue and the federal government needs to act, but I think what we very thoughtfully asked ourselves in Colorado is how can we help folks who have been through a long journey.”

And Polis’s answer was, bus them to another state so we don’t have to deal with them anymore.

But he’s not forcing them to leave, he’s inviting them to leave, with bus tickets, the media insists.

Just like the good people of Martha’s Vineyard didn’t force migrants to leave, they were invited to be relocated to a military base, and who wouldn’t choose that?!

The bottom line is, U.S. cities and taxpayers should not be acting as travel agents for migrants who are abusing the asylum system to gain access to free housing, health care, and food.

Polis can pretend all he wants that Colorado is a kinder and gentler Triple A, but reality has blown our doors wide open and it’s clear to see there is no room at the Denver Sanctuary Inn.
