THEFT: Study Suggests Sanctuary City of Denver Has Spent $356 Million on Illegal Aliens

Denver’s Democrat Mayor Mike Johnston has said that he is willing to go to jail to protect illegal immigrants from being deported.

Here’s another reason why the mayor should face prosecution and the possibility of jail. The city has spent $356 million on illegals, according to a new study. Those are tax dollars collected by the government of Denver to serve the people of Denver, not illegal border crossers who decided to crash the party by showing up uninvited.

Why are the people of Denver putting up with this?

Sanctuary city Denver spending a whopping $356 million on migrants: study

As Democratic Denver Mayor Mike Johnston says he would be willing to go to jail over his opposition to the Trump mass-deportation plan, a new study claims the mayor’s Blue city has spent a whopping $356 million of taxpayers’ hard-earned money on migrants.

The eye-popping sum, which amounts to $7,900 per foreign national in the city, was revealed by an updated analysis last week by the Common Sense Institut (CSI), a non-partisan research organization dedicated to protecting and promoting the U.S. economy.

The group says it used city data to land on the stunning sum, which equates to 8% of the city’s 2025 budget of $4.4 billion. The figures combine the city’s budget as well as regional education and healthcare organizations…

The CSI claims that the bulk of the $356 million spent on migrants was through education, with the city also splashing out on healthcare, hotels, transportation and childcare. Denver is a sanctuary city, meaning it does not enforce immigration law, nor does the city cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

Maybe the people of Denver need to vote different.

There is no conservative alternative to vote for in Denver. It’s just a matter of degree of leftism. https://t.co/o5iiSU3mPD
