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.

I think Jennifer Brown should have half of her paycheck go to migrants or she should take some in her home if she will continue to write fluffy feel good articles about something that is destroying or country

If they don’t like winter, they should have stayed in their equatorial paradises.

As hard working taxpayers tried to figure out how to pay their heating bills during the deep freeze, illegal Venezuelans and other Third Worlders zipped into sleeping bags and gathered in a “warming tent” to play dominoes and eat a pot of homemade noodle soup.

Think how much better off they would be if they went south and went home.

Happiness is 2,000,000 Guatamalies headed south with a Honduran under one arm and a mesican under the other.

If you build a man a fire, he’ll be warm for a day.
If you set a man on fire, he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.

Redefining words and re-characterizing terms is part of the Marxist playbook.

On a dead end street, dead-enders are being served by losers.
