Denver Mayor Declares Emergency, Says City 'On Verge Of Reaching Breaking Point' Amid Influx Of Illegal Immigrants
The city of Denver declared a state of emergency on Thursday in order to stave off a local humanitarian crisis amid an influx of illegal aliens from the southern border, mainly from El Paso, Texas.
Mayor Michael Hancock, a Democrat, issued the declaration as several hundred illegal aliens, mostly from Central and South America, have arrived in the state in just the past few days alone.
“Let me be frank: This influx of migrants, the unanticipated nature of their arrival, and our current space and staffing challenges have put an immense strain on city resources to the level where they’re on the verge of reaching a breaking point at this time,” Hancock said at a news conference on Thursday.
“What I don’t want to see is a local humanitarian crisis of unsheltered migrants on our hands because of a lack of resources,” the mayor added.
According to Hancock’s office, more than 900 aliens have arrived in Denver over the past several months, including more than 600 people since Dec. 2.
Another 247 aliens have arrived since Monday alone, while 75 turned up at a local homeless shelter overnight on Thursday evening, according to his office.
What do you want us to do about it, ass hole? You democrats control everything. Go bitch at Brandon. And get your booster while you're at it.
They want $$$ so they can put them in the "Hilton" & build a higher wall around their gated community.
It's always about the $$, isn't it?
Aren't they a sanctuary city?
Took a business trip into Denver Grand Central Station on the Amtrak and had to navigate a couple blocks to the car rental agency. I was absolutely appalled and my “head was on a swivel” navigating through 1000’s of homeless people. At the rental office they were almost in shock that I walked there and they said that Denver had an agreement with California to ship their homeless there and they come by the bus loads…. I can’t see where a few more thousands are gonna make an iota of difference. What a shithole Downtown had become.
Reminiscent of an episode of "South Park"
Are we watching a Sy- Fy movie?
I don’t think so. We are watching the “enemy within” destroying the Country from the inside out.
Be careful what you wish for. because you just might get it . sanctuary city. Not so virtuous now...

I remember when some crips shot a police officer at City Park(2008? 09?) and the Denver PD gang unit geared up to go scorched earth on them, only to be thwarted by Hancock.
He quickly dismantled the Denver gang unit before they could move. He then facilitated the original "occupy" movement that desolated downtown. It never really came back from the damage they caused.
Poop on the sidewalks and plywood on business' windows? Hancock.
Believe it or not, there is a black mafia in Denver and its not scrubby, baggy pant boys, either. Its polo-shirt wearing, clean-cut, seemingly nerdy black guys that are running the show with an iron fist.
Hancock is their Don.
Gov Hickenlooper never stayed at the Governor's mansion. But Hancock did.
Id walk by the Gov Mansion at night sometimes, it would be black SUVs parked everywhere and you could see boys partying inside. From the street, I could see the motion of the silhouettes of the people in a backlit room. This was a frequent occasion.
Hancock IS Denver's main "Occupy" "BLM" "Illegal invader" problem.
Wanna know why the Denver PD STILL beat down Michelle Malkin & Trump Supporters at a literal Back-the-blue rally?
Hancock
Screw Denver and their leftist BS that brought these people into their city. They deserve to be overrun.
Hubby and I call Hancock, Mayor Handjob. He's a real piece of work.
Denver metro area has whole townships where no one speaks English, but yeah those last 600 migrants are the tipping point 🙄
Citrus vendors at the base of Breckenridge?
😆
Quit feeding them
Are we sure he's not talking about Deon Sanders and his influx of recruits?
I drove through denver a couple years ago. What an absolute shithole.
“What I don’t want to see is a local humanitarian crisis of unsheltered migrants on our hands because of a lack of resources,” the mayor added. But the crisis of unsheltered vets is just fine.
When we traveled through Denver in 2007 on a road trip, it was full of illegals all around our hotel. They'd be speaking Spanish and staring at us white people. It was very uncomfortable. I would never go back to Denver. 😬
No, send in busses to take them back to their countries. Get rid of illegal aliens.
