Denver Offering Free Bus Tickets to Illegal Immigrants to Move On - 'The Opportunities Are Over'

A local Denver television station recently obtained a video of a Denver city official visiting a shelter for illegal immigrants, where he is essentially telling them that there are no more resources available to them in the Mile-High City.

Video footage from local NBC affiliate KUSA shows Denver's Newcomer Communications Liaison and political director for Mayor Mike Johnston, Andres Carrera, telling a group of recently arrived illegal immigrants that the city is unable to assist them. The footage shows Carrera encouraging the illegal immigrants, who arrived in Denver on March 26, to take a free bus ticket that the city will pay for and go to another sanctuary city.

Carrera is speaking to the group in Spanish and says:

The opportunities are over. New York gives you more. Chicago gives you more. So I suggest you go there where there is longer-term shelter. There are also more job opportunities there. We have received too many migrants and that is why we ran out of resources. We are not going to block you if you want to say here...If you stay here you are going to suffer even more and I don’t want to see this.

The biggest reason for Denver city officials to want illegal immigrants to travel to other cities: Denver has taken in more illegal immigrants per capita than any other city not on the U.S. southern border. It is also looking at roughly $120 million in budget cuts to pay for resources for illegal immigrants.

Currently, individual immigrants can stay at a shelter for two weeks, and families have a six-week stay limit. Carrera then explains that the immigrants do not have to go specifically to New York or Chicago. The city will not take them to Canada but will take them to any number of cities on the northern American border.

More sanctuary cities will soon figure out that sending illegal immigrants north is the way to solve their overcrowding issues. Those cities will quickly face the same fate as those down at the southern border.

Judge Denies Hunter Biden's Motions to Dismiss Tax Charges

Hunter Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, argued that the tax charges filed against his client in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California should be dismissed. Biden's legal team presented a total of eight different motions to dismiss.

A total of eight motions to dismiss were filed by the defense to be considered by US District Judge Mark Scarsi. They argue that the nine-count indictment should be dismissed because: July 2023 Diversion Agreement is in effect, therefore giving Hunter Biden immunity Special Counsel David Weiss was unlawfully appointed, and the prosecution violates the Appropriations Clause Selective and Vindictive Prosecution and Breach of Separation of Powers Due Process violations based on outrageous government conduct Improper venue Failure to state a claim and lack of specificity.

Scarsi appears singularly unimpressed by the arguments proffered by Biden's legal team. The federal tax case against Hunter Biden will proceed. Currently, it is set for trial on June 20, 2024.
