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.

They “just need a little help”?
Maybe Governor Abbot can help push them over that hump!

Colorado voters, wake up and smell the invasion!
You want Biden, you’ll get much more of the same.

“Very close” is not close enough, they need more illegals.

All the “Sanctuary Cities” are going to or are already Hell on Earth.

So long, suckers. Enjoy the beds of sh*t that you have made for yourselves!

When is it going to dawn on Democrat voters that we are where we are in this mess because that is exactly what Biden, every member of his administration, most (if not all) of the Demo Party leadership, and more than a few Republican D.C. insiders wanted.

The good part is that we have all kinds of detension facilities near the southern border. They could be put to much better use once the border is brought under control. I’ll let the reader figure out what use that might be.

Denver and Boulder voters, with a bunch of assistance from the sorosian SOS Jena Griswold.
The normal Colorado voter didn’t vote for this.

Colorado ping.

You don’t have enough homes for freeze dried instant population boom of 40,000 people

Do the math
