Denver has aided more than 40,000 migrants in the past 16 months to the tune of more than $68 million.
by JACKSON WALKER | The National DeskFILE - Migrants rest at a makeshift shelter in Denver , Jan. 6, 2023. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston on Wednesday touted his decision to cut back on $45.9 million worth of expenses as the city deals with an ongoing influx of migrants.
The saved $45.9 million, Johnston wrote, will provide a “long-term, sustainable response to the newcomer crisis.” Doing so will also avoid "the worst-case budget cut scenarios" and will not come at the expense of critical city resources, he claimed.
