Denver, Colorado, although its city fathers and mothers wouldn’t admit it, has come to regret its public posture as a sanctuary for illegal aliens. Nowadays, with its shelters filled to the brim with folks they never expected to have to host, the city’s leaders are strongly encouraging their “newcomers” to become newlygoers to somewhere else.
A batch just in from Texas were told that very thing the other day. No less a personage than the city’s own Newcomer Communications Liaison Andres Carrera urged a roomful of listeners to leave town:
New York gives you more. Chicago gives you more. So I suggest you go there, where there is a longer term shelter. There are also more job opportunities there. We have received too many migrants and that is why we ran out of resources.
Apparently fearful of sounding, well, Republican, he added:
No, look, we are not going to block you if you want to stay here. I am not going to block you.
But then:
I am here to let you know that your path is not over.
That path, as far as Carrera, his boss Mayor Mike Johnson, and other Denver officials are concerned, leads straight out of the Mile High City. To help their quick departure, the city is now giving out free bus tickets to Anywhere, USA. “We can take you up to . . . wherever!” he gushed.
(How about Canada? Well, not exactly to Canada, but Denver can get them close. An aide later explained that, while cities actually in Canada were not available as destinations, Denver could do the next best thing, which is to “help migrants get to US cities near the Canadian border.”)
Finishing his Denver-bad-wherever-else-good pitch, Carrera asks, “Okay, who wants to travel to different cities where there is more work?”
Somebody day “work“? Silence.
“Who wants to stay in Denver?” he then asks.
“Todos,” a migrant answers — everyone.
Time to pay up, Denver. That’s the wages of sanctuariness.
