‘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.
The hotels in the RGV are full of illegals (rooms paid for by liberal NGO’s). I know, I live 100 miles north of the border and work there a lot.

The illegals destroy property, break into homes and buildings.
We have had a problem in South Texas of coyotes stealing pickups, removing all the passenger seats, and driving off the roads northbound. They drive through fences and gates. The trucks are packed with illegals. The BP has balloons tethered looking for walking or riding illegals. There are often wrecks with multiple fatalities. A REAL mess. The BP smooths the sand along the fences on highways then drive along the fences looking for tracks where the illegals come out of the brush to meet their rides. The coyotes drop the illegals off south of the checkpoints. They pick them up north of the checkpoint after the illegals walk through the brush.
This has been going on for MANY years, going back to the 90’s.
I live 50 miles north of Corpus Christi off I37. We have had LEO’s in my rural area tracking illegals through the brush near my house (2 miles away) when they abandoned their vehicles during police chases. The State Troopers are good at spotting vehicles carrying illegals.
Correct. This is not an inexplicable phenomena.
PS - I’ve never been to Red Rocks, and I certainly wouldn’t go to see Big Head Todd.
What did they expect?
An unlimited capacity to absorb illegal invaders?
Exactly!
They play Red Rock at least once a year.
Front section near the stage $270-$289 per seat. It's a place where rich kids go. Denver median income is $75k. People who live in/on the Rockies are all wealthy. I know a guy from a gardening/farming forum who lives there and sells his free range chickens for $40 each. $10/lb for a whole chicken because the free range thing makes them feel good about themselves.
Remember, y’all brought this on y’allselves.
And Denver is whinging about 3,500, only three thousand five hundred, illegal aliens. Not as many people as fitting into a fifth of a baseball stadium.
Imagine if there were a real sustained invasion. OMG
Woke Denver is sad? Embrace the suck.
“A Liberal is just a Conservative who hasn’t been mugged yet.”
I’m pretty sure he did say that; it’s definitely how I remember it.
There’s a great chance he said it both ways, depending on the context of the discussion.
then double the buses...
Well, tough goobers. Stop voting Democrat, and your problems might start to go away.
Leftist voters get what they voted for. People who align with the democrat party are simply dumb.
/\
Well now that the left
is getting “ mugged” ,,
wait till they try to vote their way back out and discover their votes are wards of the machines now.
Good. I hope the pain is intense and lasting.
Well stated. Red rocks amphitheater.
A URL would be nice...
Sanctuary City getting what it wanted...now complaining...BUT our broken voting system likely has brought much of this on. The WEF wants us at war internally...and may get it
Indeed they got what they voted for so shut up and enjoy your handy work.
City of Denver developed, and I think, still owns the Winter Park Ski Resort located west of the city. Part of its mountain parks.
You should see the Los Angles stats much worse and growing.
Rush did not invent that old saw
