“You must stop busing migrants to Chicago and New York City.”
Last week I discussed the outpouring of humanitarian kindness by Colorado’s Gov Polis in shipping unwanted migrants to New York City. Don’t mistake this for the ‘bad’ kind of busing that DeSantis and Abbot do. No, in Polis’ words, it’s “honoring our values by treating people with dignity and respect.”
I’m not so sure that shipping people to NYC or Chiraq treats them with dignity and respect. NYC and Chicago certainly don’t.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot demanded Saturday that Colorado Gov. Jared Polis stop busing asylum seekers to their cities, saying they are “over capacity.”
“We respectfully demand that you cease and desist sending migrants to New York City and Chicago,” Adams and Lightfoot wrote in a letter to Polis. “Since December of 2022, Chicago and New York City have received hundreds of individuals from Colorado.”
“You must stop busing migrants to Chicago and New York City,” the mayors wrote. “In the case of family reunification, let us work together to ensure that people are reconnected with their loved ones, however sending migrants to our cities whose systems are over capacity, where they may struggle to find shelter and other services is wrong and further victimizes these most vulnerable individuals.”
Polis previously insisted, “too many people, in our opinion, view this through a political lens or as playing politics — and it’s terrible that in some places, people have been used as political props. But what we are doing here is just honoring our values by treating people with dignity and respect.”
Adams and Lightfoot should honor their values by putting the migrants on buses to Denver. Or trains or planes. The whole thing can become a paradox in which the migrants are being perpetually shipping around the country without ever stopping.
Or, and this is racist madness, we can build a border wall, enforce border security, pull out of the international refugee treaty that demands we give open the door to migrants, and then ship all the arrivals back where they came from. By bus. Even if it’s across the ocean.
But that would be madness. This way is so much better. Once all the migrants are bused to Chicago and NYC, we can build a border wall around them.

I congratulate Gov Jared Polis – regardless of his party – for following in the footsteps of Govs Abbott and DeSantis

Seconded. So much of the present hierarchy of the Democratic Party with its titular head in Joe Biden, an empty vessel if ever there were one, is committed to destroying America. Yes, the powers that be in the Democratic Party very much want traditional America to be gone. This was signaled by that single most destructive man in American history, one Barack Obama, who after his election as President in 2008, but before he took office in January of 2009, said that “America is on the eve of a fundamental transformation.”
Why would anyone of sense and knowledge want to fundamentally transform the, arguably, greatest polity in human history? But Obama did and still does and the puppet Joe Biden is the face of this travesty right now. Biden the Fool has many supporting him behind the scenes as Obama’s third unofficial term continues. And Democrats like Jared Polis who occasionally stumble into the truth (as here) should be given no credit because they are only engaging in a short term tactical complaint to mitigate the overall destructiveness of the Democratic Party as a whole.

on a different topic, polis said that poor people shouldn’t have to bear the cost of putting car charging stations in their houses, as some in the state wanted to have done.
he should send some ‘migrants’ deserving dignity to nancy pelosi and j biden.

Actually, Polis has now agreed to stop sending ‘migrants’ to Chicago and New York after both mayors sent him very polite letters, so my praise of him is withdrawn
somehistory says
lots of reasons not to praise him…or even like him.

OrwellianJoke: A police officer pulled over a car and informed the driver that he made an illegal left turn. Chagrined, the driver replied that according to POTUS it was an undocumented left turn and should not be subject to a fine, penalty, or any other consequences.

So, buses are racist?
Having robbers, rapists, murderers fleeing prosecution in their native lands is only for southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida?
DHZ says
Why aren’t we talking about the real issue? Putting a diverse person on a bus instead of a plane is racist.
