Free immigration lawyer? They crossed illegally. Free housing and employment support - helping illegal immigrants get jobs, which means work permits. Free healthcare. 'Meaningful jobs, desirable wages and healthcare.' - That is what minority citizens in this country asked for and now the migrants are getting it.
Denver is planning to cut its budget to accommodate the increasing number of illegal immigrants arriving in the city. The city is expected to spend $89.9 million on services for newly arrived migrants in 2024, which will be funded by cutting budgets from all city agencies. The proposed cuts will impact every department, including the police department, fire department, and city services.
The city is moving away from crisis response and emergency sheltering for new immigrants and instead focusing on helping them become more self-sufficient, get work authorization, and find a place to live. The city is also planning to cut $45.5 million from its annual budget in 2024 to help pay for its response to the illegal immigration crisis.
The city’s mayor, Mike Johnston, has asked all city departments to find ways to cut costs by 10 to 15 percent to accommodate the increased spending on illegal immigration services. The city is also planning to cut hours at recreation centers, end in-person vehicle registration renewals, and eliminate spring flower beds to save $5 million this year.
The city’s decision to cut its budget to accommodate illegal immigrants has been met with criticism from some residents, who argue that the city should prioritize the needs of its own citizens over those of illegal immigrants. However, others argue that the city has a moral obligation to provide support to those in need, regardless of their immigration status.
