As Denver nears a breaking point to house migrants streaming here from President Biden’s open southern border, bitter arctic winds are also blowing our homeless folks into emergency and warming shelters.
Denver Mayor Hancock warns he’s already spent $2 million of city taxpayer dollars on the nearly 1,500 migrants who have arrived in the last two weeks to bunk down at city shelters, and state taxpayers forked over another $1.5 million this week.
Add the leaky border situation with the strain of Colorado’s 10,000 plus homeless population coming in from the cold, and we really dodged a bullet.
Just imagine the state we’d be in if the Supreme Court hadn’t pulled the rug on throwing the border wide open with the lifting of Title 42?
Biden and the Democrats still refuse to acknowledge there’s even a crisis at the border.
But Mayor Hancock isn’t buying the Democrat talking points anymore and declared this whole situation a crisis during his Wednesday press conference.
“Cities are taking the brunt of the crisis, and we’re all at a breaking point for much of the country. The immigration crisis is about to be compounded by another crisis, the arctic cold front that will be arriving in Denver today.”
Three times the mayor declared this a crisis, and the national media is taking note of what’s happening in Denver.
Tucker Carlson: “This is what Denver, Colorado – a long way from the border – looks like now…”

Now that we’re all on the same page that this is a crisis, it would be great if the mainstream media would follow suit and report on the crisis at the border as well as the one in our own backyard.
They should also alert those still trying to cross into the country illegally that we’re in a deep arctic freeze, and now is not a good time to keep abusing our broken sanctuary system.
