Denver Mayor: Abbott Doesn’t See Migrants Are Following Statue of Liberty, Also Stop Sending Us So Many of Them
Breitbart ^ | 13Jan | Hatchett

Posted on 01/14/2024 5:00:13 PM PST by qaz123

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston stated that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) doesn’t see people crossing the border as people “who are trying to do exactly what the Statue of Liberty says, which is, send us your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” He also stated that he hopes Texas stops sending migrants to Denver during the winter storm and “A strategy of having folks just sent to New York and Chicago and Denver I think is not setting them up for success or setting our cities up for success.”

Triple the number of buses to Denver. Start sending some to Boulder and all the ski resorts.

Then start landing C130s and C17s full of them, at Denver airport.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston says sending the illegals to Denver “is not setting them up for success or setting our cities up for success.”

Could it be that illegally invading a foreign country won’t “set you up for success” in the first place?

What a LAME excuse. What a freaking democrat idiot.

They make such lame attempts in trying to frame their arguments.

“having folks just sent to New York and Chicago and Denver I think is not setting them up for success or setting our cities up for success.”

Hey, Mikey boy: We know you don’t want illegal aliens in Denver, despite your protestations to the contrary. Yet you are onboard with having them infest other areas of the country. But, in sending them to Denver, Chicago, and New York, the rest of us are just trying to set you all up for the same “success” you have applauded in other areas. Enjoy.

They are not *following the Statue of Liberty*.

My grandparents were legally let into this country and had a job, a sponsor, and a place to stay lined up, and they were healthy and not criminals.

There’s no comparison of those who came in through Ellis Island and the illegals, human traffickers, gang members, drug cartels, and terrorists waltzing into the country expecting and demanding free hand outs and the red carpet treatment.

Dear Mayor Johnston,
Please note that the invitation on the Statue of Liberty does not override the need for an orderly and lawful process for immigrating here.

How is it that you first ignore this fact and immediately proceed to declare that despite Denver's "sanctuary" status, or the invitation on the Statue, no more ILLEGAL Immigrants should be sent here?

Queue the scene in Blazing Saddles where there is a tool gate in the middle of the desert.
Biden says the border is closed and secure.
Same thing to me.

I guess the Denver mayor isn’t aware of the fact that Emma Lazarus’ poem isn’t an official US document. Our that it was “snuck” onto the Statue without proper permission.

I got news for azho mayor Mikey J. It’s 15 degrees here right now 45 miles north of Austin. It hasn’t slowed down the illegal invader mobs one bit. Don’t worry about the illegals and your dumb ass “winter storm Heather.”

Shame, too.

I’ve been to the Vineyard and Nantucket. Lots of hardworking folks there, that don’t have a mega yacht at the marina or waterfront mansion. They and so many other normal folks in Massachusetts pay a price for the martians that run things.

That’s what I’ve heard over the years. Could be an urban legend.
