An elderly woman in Lakewood, a suburb of Denver, Colorado, and the state's fifth-largest city, tore up Lakewood City Hall last month in a now-trending video that exposes the cost of illegal immigration to Americans across the country.
Many other residents talked about the illegal immigration crisis, the drain on resources, increased pressure on police and medical services, language barriers during the public comment section of the meeting and the abandonment of the rule of law in Lakewood, but this woman brought the numbers.
See the public comments here under Section 14 titled “Public Comment.”
The woman meticulously showed how housing and feeding illegal immigrants could cost the city an estimated $576 million annually, saying: “We are heading towards a tsunami.” The woman explained that illegal immigrants “also push us out when they cut the line” at the food bank, where she is forced to eat on a fixed income because of the inflation Democrats are experiencing, and that they take in “more food than they need.” Required for.”
This is what Americans get from the Democrats and their recent American policies.
CPR news reports,
Dozens of people gathered hours before the Lakewood City Council meeting Monday night, and as the meeting approached, rooms and overflow areas filled up, with people sitting along the stairs leading to the second floor of the city administration building.
It was an unusual sight at City Hall but an example of something becoming more common in Colorado cities. Along the Front Range, some residents see Denver spending too much money to support new immigrants, and are increasingly voicing fears the same will happen in their cities. In El Paso County, commissioners announced that the area would not become a “sanctuary,” and in Aurora, council members also announced I heard concerns about this issue Monday night.
Denver has helped 38,505 new migrants arrive since late 2022, spending about $42 million on temporary shelter and other services. Thousands of new immigrants have chosen to move to other cities. Some have gone to Aurora, where a coalition of nonprofits provides services. On February 9, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston announced temporary cuts to some city services in order to fund the immigration response.

Likewise, The Gateway Pundit recently reported that residents of Boston's Fort Point neighborhood recently gathered to complain about a planned migrant facility that will soon open in their affluent community. Local residents complained to city officials: “So we have no say?” After announcing shelter plans in their area.
When these elites agreed to Boston's sanctuary city status, they must not have known what they were asking for!
Meanwhile, Seattleites and illegal immigrants in Seattle are demanding more housing for illegal immigrants at the expense of residents.
Undocumented immigrants and left-wing activists stormed a Seattle City Council meeting last Wednesday, angrily demanding free housing for illegal immigrants and calling for defunding the police, The Gateway Pundit reported.

Governors need to evacuate these cities.
This Colorado woman knows exactly what's going on and what it's costing her and her fellow residents.
Watch below:
I am here to speak on behalf of the poor and elderly who are suffering because of the issues you deal with and how you deal with them. So, we're talking about something that will guide people. I took a look at some of the characters, and I thought some people here should hear it. If we look at Denver, where there are 40,000 immigrants, and think they cost $1,000 a month for housing, the cost would be $480 million for one year. This is only $1000 and I don't think you can get housing for that. If you feed those people, 40,000, at $200 a month per person — I don't think that's possible today if any of you go to the grocery store — that's $96 million a year. We are heading towards a tsunami. I don't think you know what you're getting into. Total: $576 million. Your budget, if I'm right, and you Google it, I might be wrong, is only $72 million. I'm asking you how you think you'll carry it. Now, I'm not sure I'm right about all of these numbers, but they're pretty close.
Now, personally, I live on a $30,000 budget. My husband was a teacher, I worked for Jefferson County, I was on disability and we had to quit. We had our advisors, and they assured us that we would have enough money to survive. Well, I'll tell you how I live on $30,000. You did such a great job with your housing that you caused my taxes to go up $4,000. I'm getting really close. $3,000 for insurance, $3,000 for my car, $10,000 extra; Take that out and live on $20,000. Now, I have to go get clothes from Goodwill. Now I am so poor, I have to mend clothes.
I go to the food bank and I'll tell you what I see; I see immigrants coming and hitting us and pushing us out while they cut the line, taking more food than they are asked to, and our poor staff who deal with these things are always losing their loving mind and trying to figure out how they can deal with these things. 'We will deal with it. Yes. You ask me how I deal? For God's sake, help me.
