Denver mayor says city ‘very close to its breaking point’ amid influx of migrants

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston (D) sounded the alarm that his city is nearing a “breaking point” as it struggles to keep up with the flood of migrants.

“I think our city is very close to its breaking point now,” Johnston said in an interview aired Wednesday on “Fox & Friends.

“And we’ve been talking to leaders in D.C. around the country about why we need them to take action here. I think we have successfully welcomed almost 40,000 migrants in the last year and — and we know what it takes to do this successfully, we just need that help,” he continued.

In the interview with Fox News’s Lawrence Jones, Johnston said more needs to be done to address the influx of migrants crossing into the United States, including getting resources to streamline work authorizations and more federal support.

Good, keep sending more. About 5,000 a day should do it.

“”we have successfully welcomed almost 40,000 migrants in the last year””

Year?

That is about one week here in Texas.

Johnston might want to take it up with his predecessor Mike Hancock. Current and past Mayor are Rats.

From the Denver Post dated 1/12/24: "In 2017, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock said Denver isn’t a 'sanctuary city,' but he also said if the title means the city is a place that supports immigrants, then he welcomes it."

I'd post a link to the article, but you have to subscribe to be able to view the whole article, and I'm not signing up when I can just as easily take a quote from it, and share it here.

Hancock was Mayor from 2011 to just this past July. Hancock was a piece of work. Check out the controversies during his time in office. Includes a sexual harassment case against him that the city paid out $75,000 for.

Michael Hancock

I thought naming yourself a ‘sanctuary’ meant that you were
prepared to take on the problem of illegal aliens yourself.

Leftist didn’t know. This so unfair. Having Denver have to
deal with it like the border states and towns had to, sure
does drive batty the Marxist folks who said it wasn’t an issue.

LOL

From this post to Gov. Abbot’s ears.....
