A moth ag I posted a couple of articles about the situation in Denver as its “woke” policies supporting human trafficking and other “woke” ideologies to deny help to the needy.
Well, guess what. The Epoch Times just published this:
Denver Cuts Taxpayer Services, Diverts $90 Million to Support Illegal Immigrants | The Epoch Times
“The illegal immigrants will be housed in apartments for up to six months. They will also receive job and skills training and food assistance.”
From here:
Homelessness in Denver: An in-depth look into an ongoing crisis (denver7.com)
2 Between July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021, more than 32,000 people across the Denver metro area – 32,223, to be exact – sought and accessed services related to homelessness, according to the January State of Homelessness report, which compiled information obtained through the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).”
That was three years ago.
Enquiring minds want to know “if 90 million bucks was available to criminals now, why was it not available to Denver’s homeless before the criminal immigrants showed up?
3,000 bucks per homeless person might last as long as the “temporary aid” give to criminal immigrants – maybe long enough to get them UNWOKE skills whilst being fed and housed.
Side note: are the skills for the criminal migrants “woke” skills, like correct pronoun usage o top of learning how to speak English in general?
Why aren’t the homeless entitled to the same free shit given to criminals?
Then, of course, there is the poor, especially the “new poor” that have slipped into poverty because of “Woke” policies creating food, health and energy poverty, labelled as “inflation” but really, created by Democratic Party politicians and apparatchiks.
From here:
“11.8% of Denver, CO residents had an income below the poverty level in 2022, which was 19.9% greater than the poverty level of 9.4% across the entire state of Colorado. 8.3% of high school graduates and 25.8% of non high school graduates live in poverty. The poverty rate was 25.2% among disabled residents. The renting rate among poor residents was 76.0%. For comparison, it was 29.8% among residents with income above the poverty level.
Poverty lines vary but are generally below 30,000 bucks.

That would make around 85,000 Denver residents at or below the poverty line. An extra 50 buck a week for six months over winter especially would make a huge difference.
But there you go. The elected politicians of Denver could give two shits about their own people – just criminals.
Onwards!!!

Cannot help these major cities inverting their priorities to serve these illegal immigrants, some of who have emptied out countries like Venezuela and Ecuador. No idea how this will play out, suspect it will get ugly unless some State AGs start banding together to develop a better plan. City mayors seem unable to cope.
