Denver invited this migrant messRe: “Busload of migrants gets dropped off at state Capitol,” Dec. 5 news storyThe Denver mayor’s office is critical of Texas for busing immigrants who are in the U.S. without legal status from Texas border towns to Denver, calling the conduct “inhumane” and “shameful.” Denver is a self-proclaimed “sanctuary city,” thereby extending its welcome mat to all comers. Denver police do not hold or report people here illegally to ICE for deportation and Denver welcomes them with housing, bilingual education for the children, and other government benefits.President Biden and Colorado’s liberal democrats in Congress refuse to enforce federal immigration law and are perfectly happy to let the flood of illegal immigration continue. Texas border towns are not sanctuary cities and do not have the money, resources or inclination to ignore federal immigration law or to welcome and support these immigrants. D...
