Even though the mayor of Denver has said that Denver isn’t a sanctuary city, the Sheriff’s dept of the county of Denver stopped enforcing ICE detainers in 2014 and the city council codified that in 2017. So, a sanctuary city. So, a sanctuary city
Liberal city’s costs for sheltering migrants nears $25 million
The city of Denver’s costs in dealing with the surge of migrants into its city is nearing $25 million, officials said this week — marking the latest financial hit that liberal cities are facing as they deal with migrant influxes.
The city told Fox News Digital in an email that to date, its expenses for migrant sheltering efforts is close to $24.8 million.
Axios reported in August that the city had spent over $23 million in dealing with the crisis, and was dealing with an uptick in migrants — although the city’s situation was said to be stable as leaders worked to solidify a plan on how to provide services.
Fox reported in April that the city expected to spend up to $20 million over the subsequent six months, with costs of up to $1,000 per migrant per week. The city had declared a state of emergency late last year after numbers shot up in December.
$1,000 a week for each migrant/illegal. That’s a lot of money to spend on each one, money that could be spent for the actual taxpaying citizens of Denver. They could possibly spend that money on having enough police officers to protect citizens, being down 7% from their 2020 numbers, especially since Denver is in the worst category, a 1, for their crime rate. Their violent and property crime rates are double that of the state of Colorado. You have a 1 in 17 chance of being a victim of a property crime.
N.Y. Lawmakers Sue to Block Migrants From Floyd Bennett Field
A dozen New York lawmakers — including four Democrats and a Republican congresswoman — raced to court on Tuesday to try to block Mayor Eric Adams from opening an emergency shelter for as many as 2,000 migrants at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn.
In a suit filed in State Supreme Court on Staten Island, the lawmakers accused Mr. Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul of skirting state and federal law meant to protect the national parkland when they reached an agreement last week to lease it from the Biden administration. They asked the court for an immediate injunction, and said they were preparing another, federal suit. (snip)
Responding on Tuesday, Mr. Adams said that the lawmakers had the right to sue, but he argued there were few better sites than Floyd Bennett Field, situated on the Jamaica Bay in southeast Brooklyn, “away from homes,” communities and school. The city finalized a lease on the site on Friday, after months of negotiations with the Biden administration.
So, wait, Adams doesn’t want all those illegals near the other citizens? Wants them out of the way? Huh.
Oh, and Sanctuary City Los Angeles just received it’s 14th busload of illegals/migrants.
[…] Berman and Michael Piller at least somewhat prescient with their script? When you add the unchecked illegal immigration crisis and the costs cities are incurring to house them, at what point does a Konzentrationslager some […]
OMG 23,000,000 dollars !!!
How can the city afford that, with a population of only 700000 ???
It is like 1 penny per person EVERY DAY!!!!!
How long can they keep doing that before, they run out of pennies?
I know, math is hard.
$23M divided by 700,000 is $32 per person. How many days? Maybe since start of fiscal year, putting it at ~260 days. That works out to 12.65 pennies per day rather than one. Ya, still a pretty trivial amount, no? But that’s 1265% larger than your orifice-sourced estimate.
It’s enough to make 2024 a record budget for Denver. Good thing the city isn’t shrinking, need all those heartbeats to keep stuffing their pennies in the city’s coffers. Oh wait …
