But, we have two different situations in a state that is a de-facto sanctuary state, since Governor Polis signed a bill stating that the state would not cooperate with federal immigration officials in certain circumstances, such as detaining someone with an immigration detainer, nor can any state or local officials provide information to federal immigration authorities
Denver mayor pleads for nationally coordinated effort on migrant crisis as city nears ‘breaking point’
Democratic leaders in sanctuary states and cities are pleading for help as record-breaking numbers of migrants are entering the country.
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston is the latest sanctuary city Democrat to speak out. Though he proposed a number of solutions on “America’s Newsroom” Friday, Johnston ultimately echoed calls from other Democrats, insisting “more federal aid” is urgently needed.
Johnston previously warned that the border crisis will “crush city budgets around the country,” as he expects 10% of Denver’s entire budget to go toward aiding migrants.
“I have called the White House,” Johnston told hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino. “We’ve told them we need more federal aid. That’s why there’s dollars in that supplemental budget to do that.”
No, what’s needed is for the border to be secured as much as possible and every illegal and asylum seeker without a rock solid case be sent packing. And that asylum seekers apply outside the U.S. and wait. And, really, immigration needs to be shut down for a few decades to allow assimilation, and this includes bringing in refugees.
‘We can’t handle more’ | Carbondale mayor shares update on migrant response
Carbondale’s mayor stressed they have reached their limit to help unhoused migrants. Over the last few months about 125 people have arrived into town, many with no place to stay. The migrants increased the unhoused population by 500% when they began arriving looking for work.
A nonprofit initially created a shelter within a community center but since then plans have changed. Mayor Ben Bohmfalk said they do not have any more room for any additional migrants. He spoke to 9NEWS about their latest humanitarian efforts to keep people out of the cold.
Carbondale is a small community of about 6,400 way west of Denver, out in the mountains just to the north of Aspen. The county it’s in, Garfield, just barely went for Biden over Trump in 2020. There’s only about 30K residents in the county. Who sent those illegals there? It wasn’t Greg Abbott. Was it the mayor of Denver? Or did Biden send them? Think about it, just 125 pushes them over the edge. What do border towns have to deal with? If they have complaints, they should address them to the Biden regime, which is leaving the border open as much as possible.
Migrants’ pricey cars towed outside controversial NYC shelter in same area where they begged door to door
These migrants appear to have better rides than some Brooklyn families they’ve been hitting up for cash, food and clothes.
Authorities on Friday night towed at least five unregistered vehicles apparently being used by migrants that were illegally parked outside the city’s controversial tent shelter at Floyd Bennett Field, according to Assemblywoman Jaime Williams (D-Brooklyn)
The wild scene – which Williams caught on video and shared on Facebook — included a white pickup truck with no plates being towed from a grassy lot that is federal parkland to the dismay of at least one migrant seen pleading to gain access to the vehicle.
Where did they get the cars? Where did the money come from? Almost no lenders will lend to an illegal/migrant. Do they have a driver’s license? They surely have no credit. Do they have earnings? Can they provide stips (documents like proof of income, residence, insurance)? Who’s going to give them proper insurance? Where’s the money coming from?
Over the past few weeks, residents in Marine Park – a predominantly working class, blue-collar neighborhood — have openly complained about asylum seeker families showing up on their doorsteps asking for spare change and other aid. Some previously told The Post they fear for their safety.
How many people in that neighborhood voted for Biden and other Democrats?
