800 migrant families being booted from Denver shelters as city nears breaking point

"As of Monday, Feb. 5, 2024, Denver has supported 38,380 migrants from the southern border at a cost of more than $42 million," a statement on the city’s website reads.As of last week, Denver was sheltering 3,813 people with more waves of illegal immigrants still descending on the city. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, a Democrat, said the city is at full capacity. "We have filled every single hotel room that we have available in the city and county of Denver," Johnston said during a town hall meeting last week. "Now we have the terrible decision that if we don’t start exiting folks, we will have 250 folks that will arrive today or the day after who don’t have anywhere to go at night," Johnston said. Johnston told Fox News last week that the city was "very close" to breaking point due to the crisis. --

Now we know that the democrats care more about illegal immigrants than the citizens that pay for them

 

"So you are right that that has been the Democratic strategy for 30 years, maybe, and it has failed to deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country," Murphy said.

If the Border Patrol was beefed up and better limitations were set on migrants, in other words, if the Border Security Bill had passed, this wouldn't be such a problem.

 

But at Trump's orders, the Republicans said no.

The increased staffing in the Ukrainian border bill was for processing not security at the at the birder

And, stupid Tommie-poo, if processing was sped up, stupid Tommie-poo, there would be less need for security staffing at the border, stupid Tommie-poo, as there wouldn't be so much crowding at border crossing checkpoints, stupid Tommie-poo.

 

What you want is never going to happen. The border is not going to be slammed shut. Presenting at the border peacefully and requesting asylum is not going to be declared a criminal offense. Immigration and migration will remain legal. We're not going to start shooting across the border. We're not going to round up brown people and put them in death camps.

 

So get over it.

If there was more security at the border then you would need less people to process.  Texas' action at Eagle Pass shows that illegal crossings can be stopped. 

 

Presenting at the border peacefully and requesting asylum is not going to be declared a criminal offense.

 

Actually it is illegal because one must present themselves at a border port of entry.; not swimmimg across a river. 

 

Immigration and migration will remain legal.

 

Never said legal immigration is illegal.  Illegal immigration is illegal.  Very simple; but over your head

 

Remember when the democrats & the usual suspects were all saying the border was closed, safe and secure?

 

All of a sudden it is a crisis; what changed?

Stupid Tommie-poo is now copying and pasting his "arguments" from prior posts.

 

I'm sorry, stupid Tommie-poo, but we're not going to KILL ALL MESSKINS.

Stupid Kevin - I copied your posts

True. But for the last three months, one party has been insisting over and over that the issues of border security, Ukraine, and Israel should all be tied together in ONE bill.

 

That was the Republican Party, right?

I returned home on Monday after spending 3 nights in Denver visiting my son and a college buddy/wife.  In the city, the homeless are everywhere.  It's a mess.
