Denver Mayor: Abbott Doesn’t See Migrants Are Following Statue of Liberty, Also Stop Sending Us So Many of Them
Breitbart ^ | 01/13/2024 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 01/13/2024 9:10:41 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

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.”

The people who came to Ellis Island were legal immigrants, who followed the U.S. procedures in place to enter this country. The people crossing our southern border are not. A country without borders in no country, just a geographic space between Mexico and Canada.

Correction: He was not provided with money, food, transportation, or shelter by the government once he left Ellis Island.

And yet the "progressives" treat it as having more legal weight than the Constitution.

Emma Lazarus wrote a poem, not the law.

I will even add, different times, different people.

Got cold and snowy at Ellis Island when the huddled masses, including my family, passed through and were then trafficked to various parts of the USA to mine coal and build infrastructure.

Who is this Rat Twit mayor of Denver?

Even 120 years ago my family from Italy went through Ellis, was trafficked to Chicago, then shipped again to Carbon County, Montana to mine coal and “do the jobs Americans won’t do.” It’s at this moment -19 degrees in Red Lodge and -38 wind chill and they all lived in boarding houses without heat and electricity as miners.

I HATE Democrats.

Apparently the mayor of Denver thinks it’s an unlivable city because it gets cold. I wonder if his constituents feel that way about their city?

Mike Johnston: Denver is unlivable for illegal immigrants, but US citizens who live here, please vote for me.

Good enough for citizens but a punishment for illegals is what I’m reading from this doofus.

LOTS OF PICS OF “CARAVANS OF PERSONS WHO CERTAINLY DID NOT WALK 2000 MILES & STILL MAINTAIN THEIR BODY FAT & WEARING SOLID SHOES & DECENT CLOTHES.

KEEP ASKING YOURSELF:

WHAT SANITARY BATHROOM FACILITIES DID THEY HAVE FOR THOSE 2000 MILES????

Dear Denver, (New York, Chicago, etc etc etc) why should Texas bear the whole burden?

Someone tell this stooge it's the Statue of Liberty, not the statute of open borders and never ending chain immigration.

I'd love to ask this azzole how many millions are enough for him? 10 million? 30 million? 85 million?

I do think a large number of Denverites think their town is unlivable but its not because of the cold.

The problem with Democrats is that they only know the word “illegal.”

This is what you get when you mix liberal thinking with too much Pot.
You are unable to construct even simple sentences without others saying “What?”
