The group, which had been staying at an encampment under busy Central Park Boulevard in northeast Denver, before relocating under a bridge close the Denver Airport, sent their demands to Mayor Mike Johnson (D) on Wednesday, according to the nonprofit Housekeys Action Network Denver, which posted them to Facebook and said the demands were "incredibly rational and capable" and would guarantee "long-term stableness and opportunities for all."

In response, Johnson’s office offered the migrants the ability to stay in a city shelter for 7 days alternatively of the first three.

“We’ve been offering time and shelter, fundamentally just trying to get families to leave that camp and come inside,” Denver Human Services spokesperson Jon Ewing told 9News.

As the Epoch Times notes further, the migrant crisis is costing Denver bigly, ace The group’s refusal to leave the encampment comes as Denver is batting with a $180 million budget gap as the illegal immigrant crisis continues to weigh dense on the city.

In February, Mr. Johnston told reporters the city needs to slash thoroughly $18 million per month from public services through 2024 in order to fund the costs of providing services to legal immigrants arriving in the city.

At the time, the politician called the cuts a “plan for shared sacrifice” that would aid both “newcomers” illegally crossing the border and taxpayers who expected certain services in the city.

“This is what good people do in hard situations as you effort to manage your way to service all of your values. Our values are: we want to proceed to be a city that does not have women and children out on the street in intention and 20-degree weather,” he said.

In its post on Facebook, Housekeys Action Network Denver said it was not up to Mr. Johnston to “accept and support the very migrants he says he applies and defends in his speedes.”

“Now is the time to support these individuals with sustainable, unchangeable plans that besides supply them with the autonomy and self-determination they want!!!” the organization said.
