‘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.
Eat it you treasonous bastards. You voted for it.
I see a lot of open space their for high rise low income housing to house the “migrants.” And there is a really nice outdoor there that could be San Francisonized.
Red Rocks is not in Denver.
The article is about the city and county of Denver, and no doubt the invaders will spread to outlying areas.
"It has been significantly overwhelming,’ awakening local Democrat says they cannot sustain migrant invasion much longer."
Much, much more "other people's money" will be required to "begin" to address the manufactured and national Democrat-constructed invasion.
And there you go.
In any case, Deep State doesn’t care.
Denver will do what it’s told.
And you’ll do it, too, won’t you Denver...
The mayor in Denver needs to come to the border.
Federal funding for border towns? Not happening. Oh, they are flying or busing the illegals all over the country. Catholic Charities and other liberal NGO’s are doing that (with Soros money). Allows them to hide them from open view. The federal government hands the illegals over to these orgs.
They have been coming to Denver (and everywhere else), but under the cover of darkness. Abbott and DeSantis have shined the light on it. Spreading them out makes it harder to round them up when the tide changes.
Me thinks the racist white people of Denver have been watching too much Tucker Carlson and have bought into the Great Replacement Conspiracy Theory. LOL
With Mexican-Americans out breeding Americans, how many generations before Denver is majority Mexican-American or Hispanic?
White Non-Hispanic 54.9% and all others add up to 46.5%.
Leftist voters get what they voted for. People who align with the democrat party are simply dumb.
A book too few have read.
The fact that the FJB/LGB administration have been perpetrating this invasion on the American people since 1/2020 proves that the USA no longer exists in any sort of “United” form. If the Executive branch of gov’t is not a dictatorship by declaration, then it is so by manner of action.
I think he wants to follow in Chickenpooper's footsteps.
It's frickin Denver all the way. They bought the land, built and now own and operate the Amphitheater.
Quit your whining! You will accept your replacements and be happy about it!
Cool. Thanks for that.

Most likely Mikayla Ortega is a Democrat which means she is assumed to be a marxist to tens of millions of “thinking” Americans. As a marxist, she supports Democratic Party immigration policy. Mikayla, until your party of marxists is somehow stopped with respect to it’s immigration policy, you better get your “system” and your “staff” used to your “Emergency”.
