The city of Denver announced plans to cut funding from its Parks and Recreation department by $4.3 million in order to reallocate resources towards dealing with an influx of migrants.

This will result in reduced work hours or no hours for some on-call city employees, such as lifeguards, coaches and front desk workers.


While not officially termed layoffs, some on-call employees’ hours may be reduced to zero.

...A spokeswoman for Denver mayor Mike Johnston told The Daily Wire that the budget crisis was caused by illegal immigrants being unable to work, causing them to be a drain on taxpayer dollars. The idea was to solve that by having them work directly for the city, she said. She said that a full-time salary funded by taxpayers was “not necessarily” more costly than social services.

She said the city has considered the plan but at the moment is not pursuing it because it is high-risk, since it is likely illegal.

But U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) earlier this month encouraged local governments to disregard federal law, suggesting that cities should at a minimum begin issuing their own quasi-work permits to illegal immigrants that would allow the to work for various employers. ...
