Colorado town unanimously declares non-sanctuary status as nearby Denver grapples with migrants: 'No room'
Fox News ^ | February 21, 2024 | Taylor Penley

Mayor Mitch LaKind said the goal is to ensure Denver knows the town will not accept 'busloads' of migrants..

A Colorado town voted 7-0 to affirm its status as a non-sanctuary city amid growing fears that migrants could soon flood the area from nearby Denver.

"The goal is to make sure that Denver knows that we will not be accepting any busloads of migrants into our community. .. we don't have a budget that matches theirs, and we won't utilize taxpayer funds for the support of what they've decided to take on themselves as a self-declared sanctuary city," Mitch LaKind, the mayor of Monument, Colorado,

...

approximately 40 miles north, the Mile High City grapples with the consequences of unmitigated illegal immigration, its sanctuary status engendering a fiscal and humanitarian crisis that compelled Democrat Mayor Mike Johnston to warn of an approaching "breaking point"

...

we need federal dollars,

....

LaKind said ....there is "no room" for migrants in Monument .. concerning those who are making their way to surrounding communities once their allotted stays in Denver have ended.

Migrant families are currently allowed to stay in Denver shelters for 42 days, up from the previous 37-day limit imposed by the city... The time limit for individuals, however, is 14 days.

If migrants make their way to Monument after the resolution's passing, LaKind said "the town administration and police force will work with federal agencies to have them picked up and brought to wherever they would need to be held."

...

LaKind said he would like to see the Biden administration take action by shutting down the border and launching deportation efforts, urging that it's "time to reverse course."

"The president has the power to do that. He's had the power all along. He's chosen not to."

Now the town needs to declare itself as a no-Demonicrat sanctuary status.

My old stomping grounds was Monument and Palmer Lake until recently. Very liberal those two little towns. Hard to think they would be against anything the democrats do. Best diner ever was Rosie's Diner in Monument.

Sadly, the owner is so damned liberal and believed in all that covid crap that they ran off their staff and now close at 2:00pm because they remain short staffed.

Thanks. Monument, as you know, is mainly known for Monument Hill on I25, the scene of many mass accidents in snow and ice.

When public officials call illegal invaders “migrants” they deserve what they get.

“ Abbott needs to send more busses to Denver.”
I live near I 35 in central Texas. The buses daily both directions.
You can go watch traffic and in a very short time you will see multiple buses with Mexico registration on the interstate. It never stops.

Alright! Finally we have an “ANTI-Sanctuary City” that will turn them over to the feds.

Of course, the feds won’t deport them but send them to...Denver!

Around and around the merry-go-round goes.

Here I was thinking Abbott/Paxton had slowed down the invasion at the Texas border. Damn.

Why do some keep referring to these criminal illegal alien invaders as so-called “migrants”. The criminals should ALL have their illegal selves deported...with no return ever.

Is I-35 the Mexico to Canada route designated by NAFTA?

Colorado is becoming a lesson in what you get when you legalize marijuana for recreational use.

I35 is the pathway for invasion of the United States.
Not only are they expanding the interstate, 2 lanes each way going to three and sometimes more depending on location. They have also started building truck stops/auto stops at most intersections in Texas. Crazy to see three or four truck stops, Buckees, Travel America, Loves, Tres amigos, QT, all within two miles of each other. With two 7-11’s, one on each side of the interstate. And this is a small town with population of 8,221. All targeting interstate traffic

He can’t. I-35 is a designated NAFTA route to Canada.

Aw come’on man, I bet there are plenty of people with spare bedrooms, sofas, air mattresses all over that town. Just assign them to houses.
