Colorado Governor Jared Polis Criticized for 'Feliz Navidad' Video Amid Immigration Crisis

As Denver struggles with a surge in migrants, Polis's attempt to connect with the Latino community backfires.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis is facing backlash for a social media post in which he sang 'Feliz Navidad' in Spanish, which critics have called tone-deaf and pandering to the state's Latino community.
Polis's video comes as Colorado grapples with a significant immigration crisis, with Denver receiving 16 busloads of migrants in less than 24 hours last week.
Many of the migrants are from Venezuela, Colombia, and Guatemala, and their arrival is straining Denver's resources, with over 3,800 migrants currently housed in city shelters.
Critics of Polis argue that his video is a distraction from the ongoing crisis and a poor attempt at connecting with the Latino community.
Polis, who was re-elected last year with a 15-point lead, has faced increasing criticism for his handling of the migrant crisis.
