The city of Denver, Colorado, is desperately pleading with landlords to take in illegal aliens as it struggles to deal with the influx of invaders.
“We put out a feeler to all the landlords we have connections with,” said Jon Ewing of Denver Human Services. “Basically said, listen, we’re going to have some newcomers who will need housing.”
Denver was recently forced to evict migrants from city shelters as it lacks both the space and the financial resources to house them, with Mayor Mike Johnston saying the city was approaching its “breaking point.”
Ewing revealed that the city has managed to house many of those evicted migrants with the help of local non-profit groups. “We’re at below 1,800 [migrants needing housing] right now, which is the first time that number’s been that low since September,” he said.
In addition to providing them with housing, the city has also endeavored to get the migrants work permits, helping “1,300 people right now, over the last two weeks or so… get their work permits,” Ewing revealed.
Denver has so far spent nearly $58 million supporting 38,861 migrants, most of whom are reportedly from Venezuela. Ewings’ use of the word ‘newcomers’ to describe Denver’s illegal alien population is noteworthy — the Biden White House recently adopted the same language.
