Denver Mayor: My Sanctuary City Is ‘Ground Zero for America’s Migrant Crisis’ — Migrants Need to Be Spread Out

‘We are, at this moment now, the single largest recipient city of any city in America per capita’

EXCERPT:

JOHNSTON: "Yeah, I think that Denver is now ground zero for America's migrant crisis. We are, at this moment now, the single largest recipient of any city in America per capita. We actually have more than two times as many migrants as the next city behind us, based on our population. We've received more than 100 buses in the last month alone, as you mentioned, more than 35,000 over the last year. And so we are working hard to try to help those folks integrate successfully, but we are hitting real challenges. And these are the ones we've been pushing the federal government on, which is we need more resources. We mostly need more work authorization and we need a coordinated entry plan so that folks that do arrive in the country can be distributed to different cities around the country in the same way we did with asylees from Afghanistan or Ukraine. There is a way to manage coordinated entry of asylum seekers like this, but the current system does not work for cities on the border and cities on the inland."
