A Gem on 9news about the party that prevented the poor from entering the state

[Eric P]

9news posted a neat article on the time that Colorado declared martial law to prevent poor New Mexican from entering Colorado and to keep them from competing for jobs and welfare.

But surprisingly, the fact that the governor was a democrat at the time was mentioned a few times. Surprised they left that detail in the story.

The party of the poor, blocked the poor from entering while ensuring the traveling rich passage... Hmmm

So there WAS a time when the Democrats actually cared more about their own people than foreigners.

They were trying really hard to compare that event to Trump wanting to build a wall.

My guess is the Dems didn't need votes at the time.
