‘It has been significantly overwhelming,’ Denver says they cannot sustain migrant influx much longer

Denver, Co. (KDVR) – The City and County of Denver says to their resources to respond to the steady flow of migrants coming in is completely at capacity.
The city shared new numbers from Friday night: 110 new migrants arrived overnight, bringing the total to 3,037 since Dec. 9.
“It has been significantly overwhelming for not only our staff but our overall system here in Denver.” said Mikayla Ortega, the communication manager with Denver’s Office of Emergency Management.
Donors, volunteers urgently needed to help migrants
The city has spent $1,144,032 and are projecting to spend approximately $3 million over the next few months.
“We’re not able to sustain much longer and we really are trying to strategize as fast as we can how we can A, figure out how to help these people so they can exit our shelters,” Ortega said, “and B, figure out we can communicate with nonprofits at the border as well as border groups that we are just not able to sustain anymore.”
The city has asked for federal assistance but hasn’t received any yet, Ortega said.
“The city and county of Denver is not a border town, so we do not receive border funding that states along the border get,” she said. “So what were able to do here in the city and county of Denver is very limited and we are truly very, very taxed on all of our resources as we continue to shelter 1500 people a night.”
The city has also opened an additional shelter to handle the overflow.
“Early on we saw that people would leave the shelter and that’s not happening anymore,” Ortega said. “They’re not leaving at the rate that they initially were.”
Ortega said shelter workers have been able to get some insight into why the migrants have chosen Denver.
“We’ve heard that they’ve come through other nonprofits that they were sheltered with that send them to Denver, we’ve heard that they have self-coordinated a trip and have connected over social media and got on a bus and other border groups that we haven’t been able to identify,” she said.
The city is still taking donations because the turnaround is so fast. People can drop off donations to the Temple Emanuel on Mondays from 5 to 8 p.m. and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon.
They are NOT 'migrants', you idiots.
And anyone who donates to these invaders are idiots also.
Remember, y'all brought this on y'allselves.
But we had to cheat and lie and strangle free speech to get the Orange man out of office so we could have the Brandon administration which promised open borders. No effin’ sympathy here.
If Denver can’t handle the influx of ollehals, I wonder how border towns in TX and AZ are doing. Or how it has come to pass that things have gotten this bad.

ha ha ha ha...
Cloward-Piven, writ large.
Saw parts of an hour and a half video, taken from the Mexican side of the Texas border, of Border Patrol vehicles loading up people standing in long lines. Importing them into the country.
Can’t do it fast enough.
R.I.P., America.
‘It has been significantly overwhelming’
That’s the plan, idiots.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch.
Embrace the suck...y’all voted for it.
Rush Limbaugh had a saying: “A conservative is just a liberal who got mugged.”
May the muggings continue.
The purpose of having no borders is to overwhelm White voters and culture. It is working. DEMS will eventually pass a low bar amnesty for all these “migrants”. We will have a one party system. Activists will emerge from the migrants, and they will have political clout.
Correction:
Rush actually said, “A NEOconservative is just a liberal who got mugged.”
Oops...Add “by reality” to the end of that statement...
Poor Denver
I apologize...I was wrong about Rush...I just looked it up...
Here is the comment:
“A neoconservative is a liberal who’s been mugged by reality. A neoliberal is a liberal who’s been mugged by reality but has refused to press charges.”

I could be wrong but that's how I recall it. Same idea, different twist.
Keep voting g democrat denver- that’ll fix everything
Rush said it many times, probably not exactly the same way every time. Don’t understand why it’s even an issue.
there’s a real simple answer to that problem
It’s not...I just jumped in...Sorry about all that...
