    Yes............. and I'm quite sure all the surrounding Cities/Counties are more than happy if our "friends" end up in Denver.
    They really do have far more resources than any surrounding city..........................

    Well, Aurora did also vote down an attempt to make them a sanctuary city a few years back so this is not entirely surprising.

    They'll go (and stay) where the money is being spent on their behalf. If they wander down to Douglas County and attempt to get services and there is none to give, they will work their way back to where the funding is for them.

    Denver says it's not laying off employees, while also admitting some workers may have their hours cut to zero

    From the article -

    "Concerns from other council members were about the enforcement mechanism and penalties for violating this resolution, but the city attorney said it?s not enforceable because it?s not an ordinance."

    I support and applaud the city's efforts but think they did not go far enough. I doubt any city or state is going to volunteer funding for the costs incurred for illegals. I also think their chances of recovering any funds from suing other cities and or states is slim and would cost a great deal.

    I do think the resolution can act as some deterrent/discouragement to other cities/states but not much in reality.

    Full disclosure - am a huge Danielle Jurinsky fan, have met her a few times and have a daughter who worked at one of her establishments and speaks highly of her. I believe she would like to do much more than just pass a resolution.

    Last week, apparently, 5000 Mauritanians appeared in Aurora under cover of darkness, mostly military aged males.

    Mauritania is a West African Muslim nation whose national pastime is robbery... and they speak a very unique and obscure language few can understand.

    Are you sure it was 5000? That would get noticed.

    I've watched the mosque next to me in Aurora grow from a building, to a building full of people, with overflow on the street.

    As I walked by with over lunch with coworkers on a friday, people passed me waiving this green, black and red flag.

    Somalia, I thought, but later I realized it was a Palestinian flag.

    They are here, and growing every day.

    This is not natural.

    I guess I don't understand why Aurora should expect help from Texas, It seems they are trying to secure their border. The ass-hat feds are the ones responsible
