On a dead-end street in north Denver, migrants are surviving winter with the help of an army of volunteers

Footprints in the snow lead from the sidewalk to a path through the weeds, opening to a field that is almost invisible from the road.

North of Interstate 70, in a part of Denver filled mostly with warehouses and gas stations, the tents are flapping relentlessly in the wind. About 10 migrants from South America hunkered down here during four days of subzero temperatures, and the volunteers who brought them heaters and propane, hot meals and fresh water, are prepared to help hundreds more as Denver pushes migrants out of their city-provided hotel rooms in the coming weeks.

The dozen or so brightly colored tents were mostly concealed from view by the field’s dirt mounds, despite that they were just across the South Platte River from the National Western Stock Show, one of Denver’s biggest events of the year. As the city stayed home during last week’s deep freeze, the Venezuelans and other South Americans in the encampment zipped into sleeping bags and gathered in a “warming tent” to play dominoes and eat a pot of homemade noodle soup.

Let them die. Call me heartless and I don’t care.

They can just go home.

[mrmeyer]

See how they abuse our flag? Its not in the background by accident.

[SpaceBar]

If only there was a warm Spanish speaking place to put them.

I wonder what Jesus would do.

Fixed it.

Biden should be ashamed most of all.

[dragnet2]

That’s not enough, they need to give up their homes!

“I wonder what Jesus would do.”

ummm, maybe send them assistance in the FIRST safe nation they entered from their SUPPOSED persecution (as required by international “refugee/asylum” law) rather than sending them directly to U.S. heaven, ya think?

How in the he11 can “refugees” half the world away only find salvation in the UnitedStates? Their transAtlantic/transPacific flights took them to a place of persecution?

[NWFree]

Libtards should be giving up their beds food spouses whatever the illegals need

Disgraceful.....what else to expect from third world freeloaders.

Jesus didn’t march his followers on Rome and demand that Caesar take care of them either.

The lack of compassion on this thread (and many threads like it) from many who would call themselves followers of Christ is stunning.

Yeah, they illegally crossed the border. Don't forget, though, our Federal government rolled out the red carpet for them. Maybe your anger is misplaced. Maybe you should be marching on the Capitols of 50 States and D.C. and demanding action from those who can give it.

Letting these people starve and freeze, is that the answer? Really? Perhaps God is sending them to US for a reason.

No doubt many will hate on me for this, but there are three things that God has compassion on: widows, orphans, and....foreigners. Look it up and try to justify it away all you want by saying they're illegal and whatnot. It's pretty clear throughout the Old Testament. Jesus has some strong things to say about it too.

Do we then just knock down our borders and let them all come in? No, of course not. But the people coming across the border aren't the problem. It's the greedy, power-hungry politicians who allow it. Focus your anger and disgust on them. They haven't felt our wrath yet (and probably won't), so they'll continue to do what they do best.

If they're hungry feed them. If they're without clothing, clothe them.

It may not seem like it, but I'm still wrestling with the issue personally because I understand both sides of the argument. I'd like to think I have a Biblical worldview on it, but I'm sure others more angry than me will set me straight. I have no doubt about that.

May they take the filthy Hindus with them as well.

“Volunteers, my backside.

Somebody’s getting paid.

With taxpayers’ money.”
EXACTLY

[Lizavetta]

They are ILLEGAL ALIENS, not migrants.
