How ironic that Denver is getting exactly what it wanted and voted for but is now complaining and wanting American taxpayers to pay the bill for their cost-free virtue signaling.
Virtue signaling is a current pastime of Democrats and the left. The Cambridge Dictionary defines it,
Virtue signaling is the popular modern habit of indicating that one has virtue merely by expressing disgust or favor for certain political ideas or cultural happenings.
Climate warriors signal their virtue about global warming. For example, those screeching loudest over rising sea levels, including Barack Obama, Bill Gates, and John Kerry, own waterfront homes that will be underwater should their predictions materialize, but which they seem to know won’t happen.
Others like King Charles and Al Gore jet across the globe to attend climate conferences, oblivious to their own carbon footprints.
Immigration is another topic of virtue signaling. Many Democrat chief executives declare their city or state jurisdictions as sanctuaries, theoretically rolling out the red carpet to illegal immigrants. At least until the immigrants show up on their doorstep, at which time the Democrats quickly change their tunes, closing their doors to migrants or quickly sending them to someone else’s back yard.
Governor Ron DeSantis gave Martha’s Vineyard a chance to live up its self-proclaimed sanctuary status by sending 48 migrants their way, only to have residents and officials immediately turn into MAGA racists by shipping the migrants far from their self-proclaimed virtuous sanctuary island.
Closer to my home in Denver, similar hypocrisy was on display when the city got exactly what it asked for, and like the dog chasing and catching the car, discovered that they didn’t know what to do once they got what they wanted.

What is that, someone’s pet rock?
Plymouth Rock
A lot of Brazilians living in Massachusetts live ten to an apartment, and send money home regularly. Some save enough in two years to return home and start a business. They are not all lazy bums. It depends on the individual, and to some extent, the country.
Plymouth rock was identified years after the last original pilgrim had died by the by then elderly son of one of the pilgrims who said his father had told him that was the at-the-time-of-the-original-landing-submerged rock he and others had used as a stepping stone. It was taken ashore and given the iconic status, which it still retains.
If I lived in Denver, I would have signs pointing to Aspen...Nosotros te amamos.
Shoot...if I lived in Denver, I might be inclined to load up a few in my SUV AND drive them to Aspen and let them out near some wacko liberal Hollywood type’s vacant vacation home.
Nearly every night for over 25 years at least 2 bus loads of "travelers from Mexico" have arrived at Five Points in Denver to offload their passengers.
Do you think anybody checks their immigration status?
