At least two Colorado state flags fly over the State Capitol on Friday, Aug. 14, 2020.
Colorado Democrats are pushing a historic number of measures this legislative session to support and protect undocumented immigrants.
The proposals would remove restrictions that limit their access to career opportunities and state benefits, change how they’re referred to in state law and expand the law for blackmailing someone because of their immigration status.
Other bills aim to help immigrants more broadly, including refugees and those who are living in the country legally.
The latest push is part of Democrats’ larger effort this session to rebuild a post-pandemic Colorado in a way that they believe will be more equitable to all residents. Opponents say the focus should instead be on helping citizens who have faced financial, emotional and other hardships over the past year, and not on creating new government mandates.

DENVER â April is Arab American Heritage Month in Colorado.
Itâs a time to recognize Arab American Coloradans who are making a difference in our community.
One of them is state Rep. Iman Jodeh, D-Aurora. She reached out to Gov. Jared Polis to proclaim April as Arab American Heritage Month back in 2019.

This year s state budget includes no new taxes or fees, but a lot of spending. Here s what you ll be paying for. (Thomas P. Costello/Gannett)
NEW JERSEY Gov. Phil Murphy delivered a 2020 budget address that may have surprised people, proposing a big burst of funding to schools but no new fees or tax hikes
But his address covered a lot of areas – additional school aid, COVID relief, business and pension funding, boosting health care and improving NJ Transit – that millions of New Jerseyans may find interesting, if not appealing . or even detestable (see list of eight points below).
