Denver , Mayor Mike Johnston has been slammed for turning his capital into a secure haven for illegal immigrants.
The city , has taken in more than 41, 433 border crossers in two decades, costing taxpayers millions of dollars and depleting nearly all of Denver’s tools.
The Democrat Mayor has now produced a 25-page how-to manual for other elected leaders in similar situations who want to follow suit.
Price OF THE Immigrant CRISIS: WHY DENVER’S NEIGHBORS HAVE HAD ENOUGH
” We’re delighted this playbook will help visitors resettle in places with more options, help cities across the country successfully , welcome visitors and reinvigorate laborers”, said Johnston, who described Denver as” the national leader on this topic”.
Over the last 18 months, “despite the federal government failing to support our places, Denver has led by building sustainable techniques that help beginners getting back on their feet and turning a crisis into opportunity”, Johnston’s office said.  ,
Meetings with important state and city government bodies, society partners, and relevant organizations are included in the first area of the online guide, followed by keeping a log of those meetings. The design of a team tasked with making final decisions on policies that range from the serving and food options at city-run homes to the length of stay and guidelines is encouraged by the second step. The eating procedure has flowcharts, but the third step encourages cities to provide transportation as quickly as possible.  ,
Denver, a home- described” shelter city”, has spent so much money on rescuing and taking care of unlawful immigrants that it disastrously , floated cutting some town services to maintain funding immigrant needs, which caused an uproar. In the end, Johnston shaved his own resources, as well as that of the fireplace and police agencies, to pay for the costs associated with the influx of visitors who showed up on Denver’s threshold, poor and in search of a secure place to stay. In a number of hotels and city shelters, Denver provided shelter to thousands of people.  ,
They’ve helped migrant children enroll in schools, provided emergency food assistance, and taught migrants how to fill out forms for work permits.  ,
Denver, Chicago, and New York City have been on the forefront of the nation’s emotionally charged immigration debate, with the Mile High City receiving more immigrants per capita than any other large city outside of Texas in 2023.  ,
Denver’s neighbors ‘ cities and counties have n’t done as much to help out, despite the city’s open-hearted welcome of immigrants.
Douglas County, El Paso County, Weld County, and Aurora have all taken steps to prevent officials from using funds for undocumented migrant services. They have viewed Denver, a city of 710, 000 residents, as a cautionary tale and do n’t want to end up similarly hemorrhaging , money to pay for migrants who often show up penniless and in urgent need of care.  ,

” I do n’t blame the Venezuelan migrants” , , Douglas County Commissioner Abe Laydon , told the , Washington Examiner. ” I blame bad public policy on Denver’s hanging of a large welcome sign. When you put that big welcome sign on your state and on your city, I do n’t blame Venezuelan migrants for saying,’ Well, they said it was a sanctuary city.'”
Although it is not known when Johnston will update his” Newcomers Playbook,” he has stated that it is still being worked on.  ,
