‘It Ain’t Fair’: Denver Democrat Mayor Mike Johnston All-In for Migrants as Local Homeless Neglected

Denver’s left-wing Democrat Mayor is in the spotlight because of his generous support to illegal immigrants brought by President Joe Biden. However, as the cost for their care soars, the local homeless are abandoned.

Mike Johnston, the mayor of the city of New York City, recently pumped his bravado level to the max and promised to use police officers to physically resist the efforts of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to comply with Donald Trump’s mandate for repatriation. He then found himself trying backtrack a few days later.

This change of heart came after Tom Homan, the incoming border czar, promised to defeat any resistance by deep blue cities or states and sanctuary cities to court-ordered returns.

Homan, after Johnston pumped up himself as a fighter by warning Donald Trump, President-elect, that he would use Denver Police Department (DPD), to oppose ICE warned that standing against ICE is actually against the law. “It’s a felony harboring or concealing an illegal alien to ICE.” Read the statute. “Don’t cross the line”

If you think our 2nd Amendment Rights are safe now that Trump won, think again. Over a hundred Leftist groups have implemented a resistance movement against Trump’s reforms. They call it “Trump Proofing,” and if they succeed, conservatives will have lost. Join the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms in the fight stop the Left from “Trump Proofing” our 2A rights!

Johnston claimed the next day that he had “presented the wrong image” in his previous bombastic rant on using the DPD, and tried to back it down to some degree.

Would I have returned it if I had the chance? Johnston told WKUSA TV that he would not have used the image.

“That’s an image I hope to avoid.” This is the outcome I hope to avoid in this nation, was what I was trying say. “I don’t think any of us wants that.”

While Johnston directs taxpayer funds to migrants, Americans who are left out in Denver claim that they have been forgotten.

Denver native Tim Rogers says he’s been waiting years for housing assistance as migrants who don’t even belong here have been put in front of him.

He told ProPublica, “It’s not fair.” “We have guys who are doing everything they should be, meeting their case managers and trying get housing. “If they want to buy a pair shoes, they are given a run-around.”

He continued, “I’m very sorry to say that, I know it’s human nature, but it’s not fair to me.” Rogers said that in the past, a policeman would tell you, “We have a place for your,” which meant jail. “They never put us on a van and drove us to a hotel.”

Rogers and other citizens like him are also in need of work. In June, Johnston’s administration praised a program that pushed illegals ahead of locals to get jobs.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said to the media:

People are arriving in the city with a strong desire to work and a wealth of skills, talent, and discipline. Employers in the city are desperate to hire employees and desperately need to find them. We wanted to connect those who are seeking work with the training and skills needed for the jobs that we most need. We created a program that is unique in the country. It is an asylum-seeker’s program.

Johnston, despite the fact that many citizens feel ignored and uncared about, continues to appear in front of national news cameras so as to bolster his pro-illegals credentials. Johnston, for example, said that he would be willing to face arrest if he broke the law, despite his earlier comments about using the police against Trump.

Johnston said to the media, “Yeah. I’m neither afraid nor seeking it.” “I believe the goal is to be able negotiate with reasonable people on how to solve difficult problems.”

Denver has been welcoming Biden’s border crossers since December 2022, when the first busload arrived. Johnston has spent more than $100 million since then to provide free housing, medical services, food, clothing, education, legal advice and other services to migrants. Johnston estimates that the city could spend more than $180 millions by the end 2024.

Resources began to shift from citizens to migrants as the number of migrants and their spending increased. Johnston began to pull budget money away from essential services, including police and firefighter, so that he could give more cash to migrants.

The Johnston administration’s changing priorities have left some actual residents of the city in the cold.
