Welcome to Colorado — the most desirable state for foreign criminals, drug dealers and human traffickers.

No one should be the least surprised that federal law enforcement found more than 100 suspected illegal aliens during the raid of a non-licensed Colorado Springs nightclub in the wee hours of Sunday. Equally unsurprising is that federal agents found deadly drugs, illegal guns and evidence of prostitution and human trafficking.

The detainees were not neighboring Mexicans here to frame houses and harvest crops. They were mostly from South and Central America — migrants who Mexican authorities try to keep south of the Mexican border to protect their citizens and resources. Law enforcers believe the detainees include members of the foreign prison gangs Tren de Aragua and MS-13.

Foreign criminals aren’t here for hiking trails, ski slopes, mountain vistas and open spaces. They are here — with guns, drugs and smuggled child prostitutes — because the Colorado legislature and Gov. Jared Polis rescinded a 2006 state law that forbade cities, towns and counties from enacting sanctuary policies.

Foreign criminals dig it here because the legislature and Polis passed a law in 2019 that “prohibits a law enforcement officer from arresting or detaining an individual” to enforce an immigration detainer. And, the law “prohibits a probation officer or probation department employee from providing an individual’s personal information to federal immigration authorities.”

Our sanctuary laws have clearly worked for foreign criminals. Attorney Gen. Pam Bondi said on Monday that 170 calls were made to 911 about the illicit club over several years reporting guns, shootings, aggravated batteries and more.

“Nothing happened,” an astonished Bondi told Fox News.

Golly gee. Maybe that’s because state laws don’t allow Colorado cops anywhere near illegal aliens without risking their careers.

The criminals are here because the legislature and Polis enacted a law in 2023 titled “Restrict Government Involvement in Immigration Detention,” which lists multiple ways in which Colorado law enforcement officers, at all levels, must obstruct federal immigration enforcement.

Just when it seemed Colorado could do no more to invite foreign criminals — who Coloradans support with social services taken from longtime residents including helpless children — the legislature is doubling down.

Among this session’s efforts to attract more illegal aliens was a resolution to “express disapproval of the federal government’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act” to control illegal immigration. The resolution calls on Polis to “use his office to build solidarity and trust with immigrant communities.”

Foreign criminals should adore Colorado because of this year’s Senate Bill 276, which would eliminate a longstanding requirement that illegal immigrants seeking in-state tuition or a driver’s license “submit an affidavit stating that they have either applied for lawful presence or will apply for lawful presence as soon as they are eligible.” For illegal immigrants, it’s no questions asked. For Colorado residents, it’s prove your address or forego driving and in-state tuition.

The same bill, passed last week by the Senate, requires schools, child care centers and health care facilities to obstruct federal immigration agents and penalize workers who provide any illegal immigrant’s personal identifying information.

And let’s not forget Colorado Insurance Commissioner Michael Conway’s crusade to give illegal immigrants Medicaid and pay for it by jacking up health insurance premiums for legal residents by $13,000 annually.

Further facilitating foreign criminals, the legislature and Polis have eased gun restrictions on convicted felons — while increasing them for law-abiding residents. They have eased penalties on buying, selling and possessing deadly drugs — including fentanyl.

Colorado’s message to illegal immigrants, including criminals, rings loud and clear: “Colorado wants you! It wants you to move here, stay here, do as you please, and live off the earnings of longstanding residents.”

No wonder Colorado was ranked the country’s third-most dangerous state last year by U.S. News & World Report. No wonder Colorado has the second-highest rate of fentanyl overdose deaths among teenagers. Democratic leadership doesn’t give a damn.

Of course we have “underground” nightclubs full of guns, knives and prostitutes inhumanely trafficked into our state. Colorado asked for this and is getting it good and hard. Maybe that’s why hard-working, law-abiding residents are saying “adiós” in droves.
