The state of Colorado is organizing transportation to send the illegal immigrants flooding into the state to other major cities around the United States.

Announcing the move on Jan. 3, Gov. Jared Polis’ office said in a statement that Colorado had been “working tirelessly” to address the dramatic influx of immigrants, of which the state estimated roughly 70 percent intend to travel elsewhere.
