In Colorado, the rights of illegal immigrants have been expanded: now they can even open their own business

Colorado has taken a huge step towards becoming a haven for illegal immigrants. Under the law, effective July 1, legal residence in the United States is no longer required to obtain local benefits, professional licenses, or business permits. Read more about this publication Axios.

A 2021 law signed by Gov. Jared Polis makes benefits available, including dental care, mental health counseling and family services. It expands the right to rent and utility subsidies, among other things.

According to an analysis of the legislation, the estimated cost of empowerment for immigrants is $12 million per year.

Denver authorities have already announced that they will no longer check the legality of stay in the country when issuing business licenses, and are now accepting more forms of identification.

The new law is part of a broader, multi-year effort by Democrats in Colorado to remove resource limits for illegal immigrants, most notably repealing a 2006 law signed by Republican Gov. Bill Owens.

This year, the state agreed to provide immigrants with some health insurance and made it easier for illegal high school students to get into state colleges.

In 2021, the state authorized federal payments to those who do not legally reside in the United States.

And in 2019, the state expanded its illegal driver's license program.

But extending benefits to immigrants is expected to cause widespread confusion because well-known federal programs such as Medicaid and Food Stamp Benefits remain out of reach for illegal immigrants.

The governor said more legislative changes and a strong educational campaign are needed to explain the "limited applicability."

However, immigrant rights advocates celebrate this important event.

“As we recover from the pandemic and the economic rollercoaster that followed, we need all residents, including illegals, to help recover,” said Colorado Senator Julie Gonzalez.
