    Denver Mayor Declares Emergency, Says City 'On Verge Of Reaching Breaking Point' Amid

    Denver Mayor Declares Emergency, Says City 'On Verge Of Reaching Breaking Point' Amid Influx Of Illegal Immigrants

    SATURDAY, DEC 17, 2022 - 05:30 PM
    Authored by Katabella Roberts via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

    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.

    Approximately 404 aliens are currently being accommodated in the city’s emergency shelters, including 102 at church and nonprofit shelter sites, the mayor’s office said.
    The “anticipated nature” of the arrival of the influx of illegal aliens has placed extreme pressure on the city’s efforts to shelter them, leading to limited space which is being further exacerbated by a lack of staffing, Hancock’s office said during Thursday’s news conference, noting that winter weather was set to make the situation worse.
    Hancock added that Denver is currently “at the level where we are on the verge of reaching breaking point at this time.”
    “The declaration is another tool in the toolbox to help serve the increasing number of migrants arriving in Denver, particularly as winter weather sets in,” Hancock said.
    Under the emergency declaration, Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, will be alerted that Denver is enacting a state of emergency.
    Denver will then be able to access additional emergency resources to help manage the influx of aliens, and will also be able to continue requesting financial assistance from various funding sources.
    Hancock said that, together with community partners, and the help of local churches and nonprofits, the city continues to provide aliens—the majority of which are coming to the city having entered the United States through El Paso, Texas—with emergency shelter.

    Denver has already forked out more than $800,000 on the illegal alien sheltering effort, and that number is expected to increase significantly.
    A majority of the aliens who have arrived in Denver are from Venezuela, according to Hancock, and are fleeing a political and humanitarian crisis in their home country.
    The mayor took aim at the Biden administration for failing to address the “critical situation” or respond adequately, despite being aware of it.

    Texas Border Towns Prepare For Migrant Wave With Shipping Containers And Razor Wire

    MONDAY, DEC 19, 2022 - 08:00 PM

    Even with the Supreme Court temporarily extending a Trump-era policy that bars asylum applicants from entering the U.S. to protect the American population from Covid-19, the Federal Government has offered no viable solutions and little to no help to southern border states to stop a growing wave of illegal immigrants. White House officials continue to deny that there is a legitimate problem while also claiming they have been "doing the work since day one" to secure the border. States and border towns are now left to deal with the threat on their own.
    Title 42 is a law established in 2020 by Donald Trump which coincided with the governments covid pandemic response. It requires Border Patrol and law enforcement to immediately transfer apprehended illegal immigrants back across the border instead of allowing them to stay within the US while awaiting courts to rule on their citizenship status. Using the guise of "asylum seeker," millions of migrants are crossing the border in an attempt to remain in the country with access to welfare benefits and amenities.
    As we have seen in places like El Paso, there is also the ongoing problem of Democrat controlled "sanctuary cities" that have refused to cooperate with an overall state run response. This past week the Mayor of El Paso, Oscar Leeser, finally admitted that the region is facing an emergency, which means he will be begging for relief funds but still will not do anything to stop migrants from flooding in. According to public data, more than 80,000 migrants have invaded El Paso in the last four months.




    Leeser warned that after Title 42 ends on December 21st the number of migrants released onto city streets will be "incredible" - Up to 6000 per day or more. El Paso has requested additional personnel for feeding and housing operations, additional busing operations and state law enforcement.
    Border towns with no prevention operations and those that act as sanctuaries will undoubtedly be overrun in a matter of days once Title 42 expires. In some cases (like El Paso) they are already being overrun. Some towns in Texas are starting to realize the gravity of the situation and they are taking action along with state officials, with local news reporting efforts to quickly build make-shift border walls with shipping containers and razor wire:

    NEW: The state of Texas is continuing to prepare for the drop of Title 42 next week by placing more shipping containers as a makeshift wall at a popular illegal crossing area in Eagle Pass. Razor wire is in front of them. Also setting up floodlights pointed towards the river.

    While this is better than nothing, the effects of the end of Title 42 are not being properly conveyed to the general public by the government or the media and it is likely that the border crisis will erupt to new levels over the course of the next few months going into Spring 2023. The conditions for a humanitarian disaster are stacked like dominoes; a perfect storm that the American public will be hearing about on the news daily next year, but only after the damage has already been done.
