A video went viral this week showing a woman who lives on a fixed budget taking to the Lakewood City Council in Colorado, criticizing them for allowing illegal immigrants into their city.
A woman pleads with the Lakewood City Council
The woman, whose name has not been revealed, warns of the current “tsunami” of illegal immigration as law-abiding citizens like her suffer.
She went on to conservatively estimate that housing about 40,000 illegal aliens annually would cost the city of Denver $480 million in just one year, plus an additional $96 million to feed those illegal immigrants. She pointed out that the repercussions of this would be catastrophic, as the city of Lakewood’s budget currently amounts to about $72 million.
“We are heading towards a tsunami,” the woman warned. “I don't think you know what you're getting into. I ask you, how do you think you'll afford it?
The entire video shows that in Joe Biden's America, American citizens are forced to work hard just so they can fund the American dream for illegal aliens.

Lakewood residents are fighting back
This woman is just one of many people who attended a Lakewood City Council meeting earlier this month to voice their concerns after seeing nearby Denver spending millions on illegal immigrants. Denver has spent about $42 million on temporary shelter and services for 38,505 illegal aliens who have arrived since the end of 2022, CPR reported.
At a Lakewood City Council meeting, local residents expressed concerns about crime and the costs of utilities and housing, holding signs that said things like “Don't do this to our Denver Lakewood.”
“What you're seeing tonight is informed voters who have watched Denver decline, and they don't want the same thing here,” local resident Don Austin told the City Council.
Other residents said they were tired of being approached in grocery store parking lots and other public places by illegal aliens looking for work.
“This community can't afford it,” said Rami Johnson, a former city councilwoman who helped organize local residents voicing their concerns. “It doesn't mean we're not a compassionate society. We are, but we can't care about the world.”

Alarm bells are ringing for Lakewood residents
For the City of Lakewood, this all started in January, when the City Council asked staff to meet with representatives from Denver “to determine how the City of Lakewood can recognize the immigrant crisis and discuss potential opportunities to partner as a good neighbor responding to a growing immigrant population.” Arriving in Denver.”
This raised alarm bells among local residents who were determined that Lakewood would not become a powerful “sanctuary city” like Denver.
This comes at a time when borders appear less secure than ever, and illegal aliens are flocking to communities across the country. For this reason, it's no surprise that the above video of the woman pleading with the Lakewood City Council not to allow her community to become a sanctuary city has gone viral, as millions of Americans can unfortunately very well relate to it.
