Venezuelan migrants are flooding to a posh Colorado ski resort town with no homeless shelter after hearing rumors that there are plenty of jobs to be offered.
Major U.S. cities are seeing huge influxes of migrant arrivals and Denver - with 2,600 migrants in the city's shelter system and 200 on the streets - isn't the only Colorado hotbed affected by the crisis.
Carbondale is a home rule municipality in Garfield County, Colorado, with a population of around 6,434. The town is a 30-minute drive away from the high-end ski resort town of Aspen - located in Colorado's Rocky Mountains.
Described as a small town with a big heart, the expensive community is overrun by at least 125 Venezuelan migrants who travelled to the remote mountain neighborhood after hearing word that there are plenty of job opportunities on offer.
However, the town is known for luxury ski chalet homes and is already facing a housing crisis - so the new arrivals have been left with no choice but to sleep outside in their cars.
The cheapest property currently on the market in the small town is $720,000 - with most houses valued at roughly $2 million, according to Zillow.
While there are small homeless shelters nearby in Aspen, they're usually overrun and have long waitlists.
Even as the weather drops to lows of 10 degrees at night, migrants are piling up to sleep in the vehicles they drove to the mountain town.

Joe Biden says “thanks for electing me…. And supporting my open borders…….”
Reminds me of the Canadian movie parody of Goin Down The road, by SCTV.
Cute.
I remember a certain former radio talk-show host say, “You won’t find any poor people on the ski slopes.”............
Getting what they voted for.
“ Carbondale is a home rule municipality in Garfield County, Colorado, with a population of around 6,434. ”
Around? That sounds awfully precise.
Why doesn’t Carbondale just do what the swell liberals on Martha’s Vineyard did? Call the governor, and have the illegals moved elsewhere.
It’s not rocket science, Carbondale.
I certainly understand the visceral sentiment here, but..
Let's say that this passes. I know as a former Federal Employee, I would have quit and pursued an alternate career.
This exodus would have been joined by many of my conservative friends, so if just 1/2 of the Public Employees quit,
consider the ramifications on:
The military, the police, the postal service, air traffic control, the beleaguered Border Patrol, just for starters.
Getting what they voted for. Good and hard.
Yup! Somebody needs to tell the miggies that the big bucks are waiting for them in Vegas. Heck yea. A big city with huge wallets for immigrants.
Call the Marxist Dem’s DNC and thank them for bringing all the illegals into your community.
“Its”, not “it’s”.
Sorry, the apostrophe cop inside me took over.
Seeding votes for Democrats.....
Keep the young single females above 7 on the hot/crazy scale and let the rest go back to S.A.

Hiring undocumented illegals? hmmm
LOL! Instigator.
Folks attracted to signs that say “Jobs available here” are the kind of migrants I like.
Not me. They work, they will vote and they will ALL VOTE DEMOCRAT. Nice myopic an stupid thinking there gal.
