Hey, you know how supporters of unfettered illegal immigration say that it costs nothing, that, in fact, the U.S. gains money from illegals?
Denver recreation centers, DMV offices are first to cut back hours to help pay for migrant crisis
Denver Motor Vehicle offices will close for a week at a time on a rotating basis, recreation centers will reduce their hours and the parks department will slash programming by 25% to help offset the fast-rising costs of sheltering migrants in the city.
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston announced the first round of budget cuts at a news conference Friday morning — changes that, including those reductions and other small ones, will add up to $5 million in budget savings this year, he said.
But more painful cuts may be coming. The city, which was sheltering more than 3,500 migrants in hotels and other places as of Friday morning, is projecting a potential $180 million budget shortfall in 2024 without more state or federal support.
Friday’s announcement signaled a turning point for city leaders. They had been planning for potential budget cuts in recent weeks but were holding out hope that a tentative border deal in Congress would spare any major reductions in city services by providing federal funding to cities like Denver.
Well, they are a self designated sanctuary city, shouldn’t the people who voted to be one pay for this? They’re good with higher taxes in all forms, right? Start with raising the sales tax from 4.81% (weird rate, eh?) to 8%. Raise property taxes for homes and vehicles. Then raise fees on city services, like water, sewer, and trash collection. Higher fees for using things like parks and recreation. Certainly the citizens of Denver will be fine with this, right? Because right now the citizens are being punished for having to practice their belief in illegals streaming across the border. Why should citizens from other areas have to pay for it?

Trendy Boston waterfront district could get new migrant shelter as Roxbury maxes out: reports
An office building in an upmarket waterfront Boston neighborhood is being earmarked as a new migrant shelter more than a week after Democratic Gov. Maura Healey shuttered a community recreation center in the city to shelter migrants.
The office building, a 92,000 square-foot premises, is located at 24 Farnsworth Street in the bustling Seaport district in Fort Point and is owned by the Unitarian Universalist Association, according to The Boston Globe. The association is a liberal religious movement.
The Boston Globe reports that city officials contacted the local Fort Point Neighborhood Association on Wednesday, informing them the site is being considered as a shelter but that a final decision has not yet been made.
It’s great how the citizens of Sanctuary City Boston get to pay for all this, when actual Americans are living on the streets. Have fun with the rise of crime and other issues in the trendy waterfront area.

Here’s hoping that the DMV isn’t as bad in Colorado as it is in some other places, if they’re having to cut back hours.
If Denver is closing DMV offices and Rec centers on a rotating basis, to save money, doesn’t that mean that employee hours are being cut back as well? Doesn’t this mean that housing all of these illegal immigrants is costing Americans, working-class Americans, jobs?
