Colorado’s Democrat U.S. Senators want to create sanctuary spaces in every town for criminal illegal aliens that includes election polling places, Social Security and unemployment offices.
Even federal congressional offices would be turned into safe havens for TdA and MS-13 gang members if John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet get their weird way.
Both signed onto a bill this week that would also hamstring immigration efforts to deport illegal aliens, further encouraging border busters to ignore immigration laws.
In effect, Democrats want to use their bureaucrats and red tape to eliminate U.S. borders.

The Democrat legislation is billed as restricting arrests by making certain locations off limits to immigration like schools, hospitals and churches.
From Colorado Politics:
The bill, authored by Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal and dubbed the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act, would reinstate protections that were in place for more than a decade prohibiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Customs and Border Protection agents from conducting arrests in designated locations.
The sanctuary space policy was put into place by Barack Obama, but when President Trump ended the policy, the media howled that he intended to conduct random raids and just sweep up children and sick people at hospitals and schools.
Tom Homan told Fox News on Sunday the policy only prohibited ICE from arresting criminals.
“The FBI, DEA, they walk on college campuses every day to arrest people. Local police departments, they walk on a high school campus, arrest a gang member, someone that had a violent criminal history — they do it every day. So what we’re saying is … there’s no safe haven. There’s no sanctuary for a significant public safety threat or national security threat,” Homan said.
“So we have information a MS-13 gang member that’s wanted for a brutal crime and he’s sitting in class at a high school, we will go in with local authorities. We will arrest that gang member,” Homan said.
“We’re not sweeping the school; we’re not raiding the school. We’re going to arrest one person. Every law enforcement has that ability, ICE should be no different. This is about protecting the communities.”
Both Hickenlooper and Bennet continued their fear mongering in their statements on the bill and accused the administration of targeting children who have not committed crimes.
Both should be ashamed of themselves for causing parents to pull children from schools out of fear of random raids, which never materialized, and scaring the sick from seeking medical care.
