DENVER (AP) — Javier Guillen just wanted to get to the United States as he endured a three-month trek from Venezuela, hiking through Central American jungles and spending four days clinging to the roof of a Mexican train known as “the beast” to avoid police and kidnappers.
But when he finally arrived in El Paso, Texas, last week, the 32-year-old settled on a new destination, only one relatively cheap bus ride away — Denver, an additional 680 miles (1,094 kilometers) north from the border.
Over the past month, nearly 4,000 immigrants, almost all Venezuelans, have arrived unannounced in icy Denver, with nowhere to stay and sometimes dressed in nothing more than T-shirts and flip-flops.
Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat who had allocated $4 million to help care for the migrants, arranged for those who wanted to travel onward to go by bus to Chicago and New York. That led New York Mayor Eric Adams, also a Democrat, who had already warned his city was being overwhelmed by new migrants, to complain about the transfers from Denver.
The situation illustrates how record numbers crossing the southern border are reverberating northward to cities like Denver, New York and Washington that have long been destinations for immigrants — but not busloads of them showing up all at once, straight from the border and with no resources.

So tired of the sob stories...
Expecting the American taxpayer and Uncle Sugar to meet their every need and provide a middle-class lifestyle for them (that they've seen on TV).
Even Democrats are sick of getting saddled with such migrants.
Send them straight to sanctuary cities, like Chicago and New York and let them have a taste of the suck they're so happy to saddle the rest of us with
I heard Mayorkas just yesterday say that humanitarian aid is a right.
So, there you go. You must clothe, feed, and house them. Otherwise you are violating their human rights.
Mostly economic refuges, not people actually seeking asylum because they are being hunted/persecuted.
Well, the lefties used to sing the praises of immigrants and immigration, but now they’re singing a different tune.
In Denver, just east and west of Monacco Blvd, there are hundreds of above median homes with those little black virtue signs which boast “WE WELCOME MIGRANTS”. I’m sure they’ll take them all in, no problem!
Ah Denver, my home s&$#t-hole!
who the heck gives a schiff aout Denver?
Ever been there? It SUX.
The solution? Governors who agree with him should be sending their wetbacks to Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York,McLean,VA,Scarsdale,NY and Martha's Vineyard.
Better yet, those who specifically spoke up in favor of these illegal aliens can personally feed them, clothe them and give them shelter in their own homes.
But they use taxpayer money to do it. And they will need more and more until the red states become like the blue states (sh** states) while the elite slave runners/traffickers become richer.
N. Dakota is a wonderful place.
Of course on the "What We Believe" sign you see "no human being is illegal".
Governors DeSantis and Abbott should be sending wetbacks there.
Interesting how none of them are heading toward Brazil or Argentina.
“N. Dakota is a wonderful place.”
Spent a winter on the flightline in Minot.
Working grave shift,
Went through one of the worst blizzards

I’m not a fan of NODAK.
Basically, what they are saying is “migrants” have a right to what you worked for, i.e. to enslave you.
Elections matter.
Our criminal government will shed blood, spend treasure and send equipment to defend the border of every other country on this planet except our own.
