On Friday's CNN's 'The Source,' Colorado Governor Jared Polis addressed recent claims made by former President Donald Trump about crime in Aurora, Colorado. Polis stated that crime has been down significantly in Aurora over the past two years and attributed it to several factors, including increased law enforcement presence and prosecutions.
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Colorado Gov. Jared Polis , who is also a Harris-Walz Surrogate, stated that “Some people say that, because immigrants are less likely to commit crimes, that the fact that there more immigrants is one of the reasons that crime went down” in Aurora , but the influx of migrants to the state “is one of the reasons I’m so excited about Kamala Harris” because she has a plan to fix the crisis on the border.
Polis said, “I have, of course, met with ICE and the FBI, both of them have field offices in our state, Aurora, the mayor, really everybody has the same interest in getting rid of any criminal activity that occurs. And I think what Aurora faced was absentee landlords that let their buildings become dilapidated. They actually closed one that had garbage piled up in the alley, again, unrelated to any of this crazy stuff they’re talking about.
Later, host Kaitlan Collins asked, “Governor, beyond what Trump has been saying and his lies — because that’s what they are — there are real issues. And when you look into the numbers, there are about 40,000 Venezuelans that have migrated to Colorado in just the last two years alone.
Polis answered, “Well, look, this is one of the reasons I’m so excited about Kamala Harris. She’s a candidate that has a plan to solve the border crisis, wants to have border security, wants to create a way to make sure that people are able to work legally rather, than illegally. Donald Trump has stood in the way of fixing our border every step of the way.
