As sanctuary cities across the nation continue to sacrifice their way of life at the altar of illegal immigration, one anti-borders city is now putting its police department on the chopping block.
The city of Denver announced recently that it plans to shave more than $8 million off its police department budget in order to pay for the large number of illegal aliens flooding the city. Overall, the city plans to spend nearly $90 million providing services to illegal aliens. Denver has been hit especially hard by the current crisis at the southern border, with nearly 40,000 illegal aliens having moved to the city, the most per capita of any city in the U.S., according to The Denver Post. However, nobody should shed any tears for Denver. The city invited this crisis onto itself.
In 2017, the city’s then-Mayor Michael Hancock issued an executive order prohibiting local law enforcement from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and creating a taxpayer-supported legal fund for illegal aliens seeking to avoid deportation. As other so-called sanctuary cities across the country have demonstrated, this political stunt had consequences the city simply wasn’t prepared for. In January, Denver’s current mayor Michael Johnston admitted the city was at its breaking point, and his proposed solution was very familiar.
