Colorado’s governor, Jared Polis, was caving to irate fellow Democrats and abandoning his practice of using charter buses to send migrants to New York and Chicago.
It’s fair to wonder whether some didn’t want to draw attention to a “good” Democratic governor busing migrants to big cities in blue states the way those “bad” Republican governors did.
Acknowledging it might mean those Republicans’ decisions weren’t being made simply out of xenophobic malice that maybe some states and localities really were seeing their resources stretched to the limit by the seemingly endless waves of migrants.
The point remains: With Democratic mayors denouncing a Democratic governor in the same tone they had reserved for Republicans, it’s time to toss aside the simplistic narrative of big, mean Republican governors shipping migrants elsewhere out of cruelty. Its time.
