During an interview with ABC News on Thursday, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said that if the sanctuary city doesn’t get help from the federal government to deal with the financial impacts of the migrant influx in the city, the budget impact of dealing with migrants will be so large that they’ll have to cut the rest of their budget by about 10%, which would be a deeper cut than the cuts they made during the recession in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
Johnston stated that he doesn’t know where he’d make cuts, but “We’re having that hard conversation with our departments and our city right now. We’d like to avoid that problem. We think if the federal government can take action on the supplemental budget that President Biden has proposed, that would be $14 billion that could help meet this need. And so, we want to avoid having to make those hard trade-offs and we want the federal government to take action. If they don’t, we’ll be looking at a $160 million impact. That’s 10% of our entire budget. So, if you imagine cutting all of your city agencies by 10%, and that would be historic cuts, larger than we’ve seen even in the recession times of the 2009 and 2010 cycle.

Send 20% of your funds to Texas because they are dealing with far more than you are.
Yep - so what.
BIDENNNNN!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOI!!!!!
Laugh if you like, but they will make us pay for it.
This idiot doesn’t even ask the goofus dirtbag vacationing in the VI to please stop the flow.
He just wants US taxpayer money to help his budget.
Get ready for even more illegals ya dumbarse because they are coming your way real soon.
Sounds like they need another 100 plane loads.

The City of Denver COULD discard the “sanctuary city” designation, but perhaps that is way too obvious.
Do like Mayor Adams of NYC - call up and yell at somebody in the White House. As if that would do much good at all.
Talk like that and you BETTER DAMN WELL MAKE SURE THAT TRUMP ISN’T ON THE BALLOT!
You wanted to be a sanctuary city. Shut up and deal with it.
If we cut out the victimhood language and write this headline factually, what do you think the sentiment would be?
Quit whining like a little baby, man up and show some courage and real leadership by Mandating ALL Public Employee’s take at least 2 migrants into their homes to feed and care for at their own expense or be immediately Terminated and lose all pension and retirement benefits.
Typical Dem: they’d rather treat the symptom than go for the cure (more money for illegals rather than stop the flow).
Denver is already the pothole leader of the civilized world.
They’re buying a hotel for 31 million.
C’mon Mayor! Just house them with the hundreds of proggies who live west of Monaco sporting their “No Human Is Illegal” virtue signaling yard signs! They obviously care more than anyone!
It tells you a lot about 2024 candidate Biden that his border policy fosters
failure, lawlessness, adverse behavior, dependency, economic hardship, etc.
Biden is clearly on the side of cultural ruination, a
curious aspiration for the president of the United States.
Biden’s policies are dismantling cultural norms, not
building them up, as one would expect from a chief executive.
Biden seems unable to rise above mediocrity.
We once expected presidents to advance activities and behaviors
that serve to enhance culture, into a civilization that rewards success.
Clearly Biden cannot aspire that high. He should just get
out of the dam way and let someone take the job who does.
as in “Careful what you ask for...you may get it”. Denver asked, they’ve received and the receiving isn’t stopping any time soon. liberal: people who put YOUR money where THEIR mouth is then tell you it’s all YOUR fault.
Well Mike, now you know what Texas Arizona etc have to deal with- kinda crappy ain’t it Mike? How about voting to build the wall and deport illegals? Do he nation a favor and do the right think Mike!
Homeless camps in downtown Denver are “out of control” as the pandemic drags on. So what's the solution? Colorado Sun, Jul 28, 2020
The only thing Colorado Democrats can think of is "more money" -- now from the federal government. No reflection whatsoever about other options, because "orange man bad" or something.
A drive around the Denver government area is most instructive. As if Democrat politicians are attracting this mess....
Good!
