At the moment, The United States is experiencing a major immigration crisis. In different areas, there has been a historical record of people entering the country illegally. Which is why some states have approved strict measures against this practice. Texas has been grabbing the headlines lately, but there are another city, in Colorado, that is not willing to receive any undocumented immigrants.
Monument has unanimously decided to affirm its status as a non-sanctuary city, because there are fears that immigrants will invade the area. In this regard, Mitch LaKind, county mayor, told FoxNews: “The goal is to make sure it is known that we will not accept busloads of immigrants into our community. “The main reason is that we don't have a budget and we won't use taxpayer funds.”
The mayor assured that there is no place for immigrants in Monument, so they warn that people who have finished their assigned stays in Denver will not be well received there and that The city administration and police officers will work to arrest them and transfer them to other locations.
And it is worth remembering that Currently, immigrant families can stay in Denver shelters for forty-two days. In the case of single people, they can only stay for fourteen days, after which time they usually look for accommodation in nearby cities, Monument being one of the options.
In LaKind's opinion, The situation has reached such a point that the Biden administration should close the border and undertake greater deportation efforts to prevent a greater number of undocumented immigrants from reaching the United States.
The city in the United States that is experiencing a crisis due to migrants
Monument's decision is a response to the crisis that Mile High City is experiencing, also located in Colorado approximately 65 kilometers away, where are facing fiscal and humanitarian problems after having been declared as sanctuaries for immigrants.
The situation has forced Mayor Mike Johnston to warn of an approaching breaking point. In dialogue with the aforementioned media, The president emphasized that they need federal resources to face the situation. In addition to this, highlighted the need for work permits for people, so that they can offer them greater security and support the economy of the area. In that sense, called for support so that asylum applications are processed more quickly.
