Tearing a page from the playbook of NYC Mayor Eric Adams, the patron saint of regretful sanctuarianism, the City of Denver has issued multilingual flyers to be posted along our southern border, telling would-be Denverites rather plaintively: “Denver’s resources have been exhausted.”
One is almost brought to tears by the Mile-Hilers’ plight. Sure, like NYCBostonLACHicagoPortlandetc, Denver once repeatedly declared their sympathy for illegal aliens, but that was then. Now is a state of emergency!
Emergency? Really? When making that declaration, which accompanied the announcement about the anti-PR flyers, the mayor complained, almost laughably, “I issued the declaration of emergency earlier today because. . . over the last six days, we’ve seen over 472 people come to our city.”
Wow! 472, you say! My. More that that come into Eagle Pass, Texas (pop. 28,000; Denver pop. 715,000) during the time it takes for the average coffee break.
Following the heartrending reference to all those poor, exhausted resources, the mayor’s office flyer added this, to kind of get down to brass tacks, as it were:
Housing in Denver is very expensive and there aren’t many affordable housing options available
Hmmm. Could that be a subtle, leftist way of saying, “You might not be our kind of people. You’d probably be happier somewhere else.”
Denver is a city I’ve had some fine times in, but from what I hear of it these days, there are ample reasons for many of us, not just the documentation-challenged, to avoid it. After the surge of growth years ago with the legalization of marijuana, the city is now losing residents. More than 6,000 residents left between July 2020 and July 2021, and the shrinkage is said to be continuing.
Unfortunately, those border-busters filing in down there in Texas will probably conclude Denver is hiding something that rightfully belongs to them. Bueno suerte, Cow Town!
