Denver’s migrant crisis is out of control, costing Colorado more every day. Don’t take our word for it, look at the reports piling up just this week:
- $24 million in state funds was sent to CO schools struggling to accommodate the influx of migrant students.
- CO State House is debating sending another $2.5 million of taxpayer cash to illegal immigrants.
- Denver City Council is arguing their $8.4 million cut to Denver PD isn’t defunding police to pay for migrants.
- Migrant advocates are pushing for undocumented migrants to receive more than six months of free rent.
- Not to mention, fentanyl seizures in CO are at record highs with no signs of letting up.
This illegal immigration crisis is a direct result of Yadira Caraveo’s anti-border security agenda: from calling on Biden to defund ICE and CBP, refusing to hold this administration’s failures accountable, and rejecting tougher border security measures in Congress.
“Yadira Caraveo’s anti-border security policies brought this migrant crisis straight to Denver, and now Coloradans are being forced to pay for it – literally,” said CLF Regional Press Secretary Maureen O’Toole.
