Colorado to stop busing migrants after pleas from NYC and Chicago mayors

TL;DR

"Also, the Governor had a very productive conversation with Mayor Adams and Mayor Lightfoot today where he shared that there are no more buses scheduled for migrants from Denver to Chicago at this time, and the final chartered transportation to New York City will be successfully completed tomorrow," said the press release, which was dated Saturday.Polis announced on Jan. 3 that Colorado would facilitate in transporting of migrants who arrived in Denver to their "final destinations," noting that about 70% of the migrants did not consider Denver as their destination.Lightfoot and Adams asked Polis to ensure "values are lived in good times and especially in challenging times," saying Polis was sending migrants to cities where they lack family ties and community networks.With Polis promising to no longer send buses, the cities and Polis also appear to agree on another pressing topic: the necessity for action from the federal government.Colorado's press release said, "Governor Polis has been clear that Congress and the Biden-Harris administration must assist states who are facing these challenges through no fault of their own and looks forward to partnering with the federal government to provide work permits for migrants who want to contribute to Colorado's thriving economy, and enact better border security and finally pass real immigration reform.""
