Denver, Colorado's capital with over 700,000 residents, has become the latest city inundated with over 40,000 migrants as a result of the ongoing border crisis. The sanctuary city has been struggling to stretch its limited resources to support the growing number of migrants in the city. Texas has transported thousands of migrants to sanctuary cities like Denver, to showcase the problems border states face when migrants flood their cities.

It is NOT "migrant". It IS "illegal alien".
Get it right.

As the old saying goes, "You asked for it, you got it". It was easy for them to be so "loving" and say let the invaders come in. "It is so kind to do that". Now, it is a different story isn't it Denver and the other cities that joined you in this treason? I say treason because we don't know what bad actors are embedded in these masses invading us with their blessings.

Since these illegals are basically sticking together and remaining for the most part in one location, it shouldn't be too difficult to round them up and send them back to whatever hell hole they came from. I know in the Denver area, east of Denver just past the University of Colorado hospital is a large area of illegals. So much so, some businesses speak only Spanish.

Thomas Sowell's book, A Conflict of Visions, explains this and all the other Progressive failures. They concentrate on the end result with no thought of the process. In this case, "We will be a Sanctuary City". It sounds great and is a lofty goal. It also is something you proclaim and its actual. Perfect unconstrained view.
Their success is being a "sanctuary city". period. They can tell everyone they are a success. Then the reality of what it means to "accomplish" their goal sets in. The process is not set up or even thought of. In the cases of "sanctuary cities" being inundated, those responsible are shown to be completely unprepared for what they claim to be. Because the claim is enough. It makes them feel satisfied. Until reality crashes and they wonder how this could happen.
In the book, Sowell relates a story about an anti-poverty crusader. His programs were all in place but didnt reduce poverty and in fact, made it worse for the poor. His reaction was, "So what, I cant stand poor people. If they all died, I would not care". So his goal was to help the "Poor", not those individuals who are poor. Sanctuary cities are just something these people congratulate themselves for but dont really want those who "need" sanctuary

Peoples' Republic of Denver, not to worry. Your Mayor Hancock has things under control. Besides, your fellow lefties in the Peoples' Republic of Boulder report they have plenty of room for more tents. And the beautiful people of Aspen would welcome as many of these illegals as you can send to them. Just a thought, lefties - suppose you find, shutdown, and prosecute the organizations who are sponsoring and delivering the illegals to our southern border.
Meanwhile, you Denverites who vote dim, enjoy the suck.

Denver asked for it by designating their city as a sanctuary city and Biden is complying with their request! So what is the problem? I know what the problem is, Denver and other leftist and socialist Democrat run sanctuary cities just want the federal government to pay all the costs of resettling all their future leftist and socialist Third World origin supporters and voters. The question is do the wimpy Republicans and their RINOS have a clue that Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats plan to use their tens of millions of prospective new foreign origin poor, uneducated, and non-English speaking future supporters and voters to send them into politicial oblivion in the future?

I did a quick news search and Denver recently bought a large Embassy Suites hotel to house some of them. It cost millions of dollars. Over the weekend there were 2 stabbings and a mini riot. Nearby neighbors are furious. Oddly, only 1 local TV station reported on the violent disturbance.

The Blue States and cities are only complaining to get free resources, this flood is exactly what they want, in fact are desperate to get.
So many Americans are feeling Blue States for Red States that the Blue States are going to lose congressional representative seats and electoral votes. They need to replace these bodies with illegals before the next census, hence the reason for the open borders.
It has been speculated that if only American citizens were counted in the census the Democrats would not have enough seats to ever control congress nor enough electoral votes to elect a POTUS. Thus why the Left went catatonic when Trump only wanted to count American citizens in the last census.

Denver has been a Sanctuary City since 1998, when Mayor Wellington Webb issued Executive Order 116, which effectively ordered all Denver government entities to ignore Federal law.
The residents of Denver are getting the government they deserve.

I found myself in Denver once. Terribly lost at night. When I finally made it home to WV I got bills for using their roads, via the cameras that were taking pictures of my license plate the whole way. They can rot. I hope "foreign" becomes their official language and soap sales drop to zero.

Sadly, these illegals are migrating to the nearby suburbs. I went to a different suburb last week, and when I stopped at a major intersection red light, illegals swarmed my car with squeegies wanting to clean my windshield and windows. I was able to wave them off, and they went to other cars. My DH was with me, but it makes me wonder if they'd have left if he wasn't in the car with me. When I go that way again, I'll be taking a different route.

The leftist and socialist Democrats running those sanctuary cities are not stupid. If you ask them they will tell you that unlimited numbers of illegal aliens are welcome in their cities. Another angle on that is when the next US census comes around all the illegal aliens in those Democrat run sanctuary cities and areas are counted in that census, causing a mass redistricting of Congressional seats from other areas of the country and into those Democrat run sanctuary cities and other locations because of their greatly increased population increases. Then elections will have to be held to determine who will fill those redistricted congressional seats, and since those elections will be held in Democrat run sanctuary cities and places it will make it much easier, to almost certain, that leftist and socialist Democrat politicians will win those elections, causing the leftist and socialist Democrats to permanently control the House of Representatives, through which all Federal money must be appropriated. Do the wimpy Republicans even have a clue what awaits them?

The Marxist and Cloward-Piven advise that in order to communize a country, you must first “overwhelm the system” with immigrants, criminals, or both. Well, there you go.

Denver Schmenver. I suspect the globalists see this era we're in as just an inconvenient but necessary hiccup in their march toward OneWorld. Do a cursory check of AI and languages. There are ~9000 languages in the world and by 2025 Google expects to be able to release technology to INSTANTLY translate ALL of them; currently they can do ~900. This means that a person speaking Cantonese can continue speaking in his language but the dialogue will be received in the listener's language in real time. Language barriers will be erased. Border barriers have already been erased. We WILL become OneWorld, inhabited by genderless, colorless, borderless equal "units" working feverishly together to "save the planet." When George HW Bush announced in 1990 that "out of these troubled times a new world order can emerge," my blood ran cold. It took 30+ years, but here we are. Look at the Big Picture, not just Denver.
