Denver Mayor: ‘We Want to Be a Welcoming City’ for Migrants, That ‘Requires Shared Sacrifice’
Breitbart ^ | 04/12/2024 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 04/12/2024 5:59:03 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During a portion of an interview with CNBC that was recorded in February and aired on Thursday’s “Cities of Success,” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston responded to a question on if the city was too open to migrants and too generous by stating that “it’s a balance. We want to be a welcoming city” but doing that without federal help “requires shared sacrifice, it requires compromise. So, we are both making cuts to city budgets to meet this financial need, and we are making cuts to the amount of services we can provide to the migrants that arrive and to the number of folks that we can serve.”

Johnston said that the number of migrants that came to the city was “much higher than what we thought. I will say, what we’re very proud of is, like other problems, we’ve taken this on, we’ve figured out an entrepreneurial approach, and we’ve figured out a path to solve it. Of the 40,000 migrants who have arrived in this city, as of tonight, I have a regular count, we have about 40 to 45 migrants total that are unsheltered tonight. That means 99.9% of those 40,000 have come through, gotten connected to services, housing, work, and made it successfully. So, we figured out how to run this machine, how to welcome people, get them connected to legal clinics, provide them wrap-around resources. To do that well just requires resources, and so, our challenge is, we can do it well with federal help, we can do it well with more work authorization, we can do it well with a coordinated plan for entry. Without any of those three, the work becomes tougher. But we’ve now doubled down, assuming there’s no federal help coming, and we’re going to figure it out on our own.

Ranking Officer to troops before a big faceoff against the enemy. “We all know the majority of us won’t make it back tonight but this has to be faced head on. I will direct the attack from a great distance through binoculars with high powered lenses. Get the job done, men.”

Ha.
Like Miyoshi Umeki’s character said in Flower Drum Song: “I cannot marry your son. My back it is wet.”

Not from bathing. Although she took a shower in the little room of a thousand rain drops.

Next time you talk to her ask that question outright. “So, sis, how many newcomers are you willing to take into your house?”

I would. Who knows? It might buy you a few months of peace.

I stopped talking with her several years ago when she insulted my wife. Not to her face, of course. Typical knife-in-the-back shitlib behavior.

Know it will. Have a brother just like that.

Here’s a thought. If Golden ever has one of those take a migrant family in things, sign her up.

Yea, I have an evil strike. It may not be very wide but it goes all the way to the bone.

“Shared Sacrifice” is communist doublespeak.

Translation: "You sacrifice, and I share it and get the credit!".

This explains why Colorado is now a Democrat state.

Yeah, they will NEVER locate them in his community. It got so bad in crazy Germany that the government was actually targeting small towns in which to infest with “migrants”

“ but doing that without federal help “requires shared sacrifice, it requires compromise.”

Another term for this is ” taxation without representation “.

Now just who can have a problem with shared sacrifice?

It's the FORCED 'sacrifice' problem that makes me want to toss crates of tea into Boston Harbor!

“Sounds like they need a few thousand more”.

Don’t worry. When their extended families show up, it will amount to many more.

no, they are border invaders.

And the higher-ups that have told our BP folks to stand down are traitors of the first order.

We have LAWS against this!

When are we, as Citizens, going to do something about it?
