Denver Mayor Mike Johnston (D) sounded the alarm that his city is nearing a “breaking point” as it struggles to keep up with the flood of migrants.
“I think our city is very close to its breaking point now,” Johnston said in an interview aired Wednesday on “Fox & Friends.
“And we’ve been talking to leaders in D.C. around the country about why we need them to take action here. I think we have successfully welcomed almost 40,000 migrants in the last year and — and we know what it takes to do this successfully, we just need that help,” he continued.
In the interview with Fox News’s Lawrence Jones, Johnston said more needs to be done to address the influx of migrants crossing into the United States, including getting resources to streamline work authorizations and more federal support.

Tough. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind. You’d have to be stupid to figure anything else. They made it, they can eat it.
They are illegal aliens.
The liberals tell me how much these “immigrants” pay in taxes. Denver will soon be swimming in money to build more hospitals, etc.
Boo f’ing hoo - these woketards in Denver voted for Grandpa Hairsniffer, let them deal with the consequences rather than expecting the border states to suck it up and pay for half of the Turd World to come here.
Open wide and bend over, Mikey. Lol
Well, gee, this is what socialism results in. I hope the residents of Denver rise up and throw him out of office, then transport every single illegal immigrant criminal back to where they came from.
I keep hearing Denver and others talk about breaking. What exactly will happen if they break?
I don’t live in Denver (thank God), so I didn’t get to voted against him, but I knew that fool was going to be a disaster just from watching his campaign ads.
yup, let’s put it to the test.
Denver Mayor: Abbott Doesn’t See Migrants Are Following Statue of Liberty, Also Stop Sending Us So Many of Them

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston stated that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) doesn’t see people crossing the border as people “who are trying to do exactly what the Statue of Liberty says, which is, send us your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” He also stated that he hopes Texas stops sending migrants to Denver during the winter storm and “A strategy of having folks just sent to New York and Chicago and Denver I think is not setting them up for success or setting our cities up for success.”
Denver Health at “Critical Point” as 8,000 Migrants Make 20,000 Emergency Visits

"The Denver hospital system is turning away local residents because it is flooded with migrant visits.
Denver Health CEO Donna Lynne warned the center is in a crucial moment due to unexpected costs associated with immigrant visits.
What I think is not being said is that Denver Health is at a critical, critical point and that we need to take this up in 2024,” Lynne told the Denver City Council, according to the Denver Post.
Eight-thousand migrants from Central America accounted for approximately 20,000 visits in 2023. Denver Health asked the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide funds for immigrants’ medical costs. The state and federal governments aren’t reimbursing the hospital, which spent $136 million for patients who didn’t pay.

The health system is overwhelmed with care costs for uninsured patients, particularly migrants — 36,000 of whom have arrived in Denver since December 2022, according to The Denver Post.
“Where do you think the migrants are getting care? They are getting care at Denver Health,” Dr. Lynne said at a Jan. 9 finance and governance committee meeting. Her remarks were reported by CBS Colorado on Jan. 12.
Denver Health has treated more than 8,000 migrants who lack legal documentation in the past year, totaling about 20,000 visits, according to Steven Federico, MD, a pediatrician at the health system.
The majority of these patients are coming from Venezuela and arrive needing treatment for chronic and communicable diseases after making the difficult journey."
This is All according to the Communist’s plan. The more illegals and chaos, the better. Overwhelm the system.
Notice he’s Not axing for better boarder security to stop the flow; he’s axing for money.
I believe the DNC should pick up the tab for importing their voters.
but the mayor of that Denver metropolis has no problem with unlimited growth in those tiny border towns?
Denver has been broken for a long time.
They don’t want the invasion to stop. They just want more cash to go along with it.
Eat your peas Denver.
What a whiner. He’s complaining about 4 days worth of border crossers.
