Denver reports that $29 million in tax dollars has already been dedicated to house, feed, clothe, and care for the flood of illegal border crossers that have entered the Mile High City this year, and an analysis of spending shows the costs will likely soar upwards to $40 million by the end of the year.
Denver has already taken in more than 25,000 border crossers this year, according to the Denver Gazette, and about 2,500 are currently in city shelters.
The Common Sense Institute recently tallied expenses and says the city is on track to spend $36.3 to $39.1 million by the end of the year.

As around the country, veterans are overlooked, underfunded and have to fight for help——
Colorado Coalition for the Homeless Expands Program to Help Homeless Veterans
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recently awarded the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless more than $280,000 in annual funding to create twenty new transitional housing units for homeless veterans in Denver. Through this funding, CCH will house and serve 20 additional homeless veterans, bringing to 69 the total number of veterans it will serve at any point in time with secure housing, health care, substance abuse treatment, mental health counseling, and personal development and empowerment services.
Veterans are disproportionately represented among those who are homeless. While eight percent of the general population can claim veteran status, about 30 percent of the entire U.S. homeless population are veterans at any given time.
Last year, in the Metro Denver area alone, 986 homeless adults identified themselves as having served in the U.S. military. According to a recent study of their health status and vulnerability to chronic and infectious diseases, almost 400 of these individuals are expected to die prematurely if they continue to live on the streets.

They need toll gates on cities. If you don't have a valid ID and reason to be here, you must pay a toll for each time passing the gate. $100 each time, that will help pay expenses. Valid citizens need not pay.
Our wonderful courts would shut that down in a flash.
Americans can’t afford insulin.
Groceries are through the roof.
They are dying of fentanyl because that’s their only hope of joy in an hyper competitive economy with all the jobs outsourced.
Corporations are making record profits.
And our politicians have the nerve to spend billions on illegals and Ukraine and aircraft carriers.
Simple solution: Round ‘em up, bus ‘em to the airport, and put ‘em on a plane headed for Mexico.
