Denver Mayor Warns Illegal Surge Could Mean Cutting Services as More Than 250 Arrive Each Day

 

Denver residents are getting what they voted for.

On Tuesday, Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock declared an emergency activation to address the flood of illegals entering the United States because of Joe Biden’s broken border policy.  The city is facing upwards of 250 arrivals a day, largely because of Denver’s relatively easy access by bus from El Paso, Texas.

The US Border Patrol is under siege with the largest illegal migrant surge at the southern border in US history.

Joe Biden’s regime lifted Title 42 on Thursday and already, 700,000 to One Million illegals have assembled at the border ready to surge across the US southern border. Joe Biden has opened the borders to millions of illegal invaders.

22,000 apprehensions were recorded at the border near El Paso over the weekend.

Colorado Politics reports:

On Tuesday, Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock declared an emergency activation — his second in five months — to leverage federal resources to address the humanitarian crisis.

The city has spent nearly $16 million since December to support arriving immigrants. The federal government, Hancock said during a press conference Thursday, has reimbursed the city about $900,000. The influx illustrates the calamity that’s been unfolding at the U.S. border for years, a crisis that is spilling over into cities in America’s interior, including Denver, which is more than 600 miles from El Paso, Texas, the closest U.S. border.

City officials said the immigrants pick Denver because of El Paso’s relative proximity to Denver, at least in terms of being able to get to the city by bus with relative ease. Officials also noted that the bus fare to Denver is less expensive from West Texas to other places in the country. Organizations that support the immigrant community also highlight the resources and diversity in the community, as well as its status as a “sanctuary city,” as reasons attracting the immigrants to Denver.

YOU VOTED FOR THIS, DENVER. ENJOY!

Incredible Video Shows Helicopter Rescue Teen Missing for Days in Glacier National Park

A video shows incredible footage of a missing hiker being rescued in Glacier National Park, Montana, on Monday night.

Park rangers were alerted Sunday of Matthew Read’s absence, when the 19-year-old’s parents reported him “overdue,” according to the Two Bear Air Rescue Facebook page.

An aerial search began the same day, but partly because of low visibility, rescuers were unable to find the hiker.

Despite the conditions carrying over to the next day; however, the helicopter team, using infrared technology, spotted Read late Monday night.

When the team found him around 11 p.m., Read was only “somewhat responsive,” according to the Montana newspaper Flathead Beacon.

Rescuers airlifted Read with a 175-foot hoist before transferring him to Evergreen Ambulance.

He was then taken to the hospital, where he remained in stable condition.

Before being rescued, Read was last heard from on Friday, May 5, around the time he began hiking the Huckleberry Lookout Trail, according to Fox News.

When he was reported missing on Sunday, rescuers attempted a search flight the same day.

Not long after, they discovered his vehicle at the Huckleberry Lookout Trailhead, according to Flathead Beacon.

The search grew more expansive on Monday, as more than 30 people, along with search dogs, began looking for Read. Among the searchers were the Glacier National Park rangers, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Flathead County Sheriff’s Office and other organizations.

Evidently, the lone hiker had made it to the first saddle of the hike, but the trail was covered in a snowfield. He slipped on the east side of the mountain into a drainage, landing chest-deep in snow, according to Flathead Beacon.

He lost his phone, water bottle and shoes, and when he decided he could not make it back up to the trail, began making his way down the drainage.

According to Two Bear Air Rescue, they were able to spot Read’s slide and footprints.

“Both slide marks and footprints were identified in the snow below the lookout, directing the aircrew down the mountain and into a thick drainage. Due to the recent warm temperatures, the snow patches diminished and footprints became more challenging to follow.

“After a few separate flights and crew swaps, the teen was located after dark in thick timber with our infrared camera. The crew then inserted a rescue specialist, hoisted the survivor out and delivered him to an awaiting ambulance,” Two Bear Air Rescue wrote on their Facebook page.
