Criminal illegal aliens only TAKE and give NOTHING back. Not only that, massive spikes in crime, homelessness and stores closing by the handful due to the policies/laws/etc of the dems, blues, progressives is what has caused these problems. No one wants to go into the city where they may have their car stolen, get stabbed/shot, mugged, etc.. Archive: https://archive.today/AdirU From the post: >>The Denver city budget will grow only slightly in 2025, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said Thursday as he unveiled a plan with the slowest projected growth rate in more than a decade, outside the pandemic. Denver’s general fund budget would grow to $1.76 billion under his proposal, an increase of just $20 million over the $1.74 billion the city allocated this year. But the relatively conservative spending plan continues to prioritize Johnston’s homeless strategy, affordable housing and other signature initiatives. The slight growth outlined by Johnston’s proposal, which he introduced at a news conference in the City and County Building, is largely the result of declining consumer spending in a city that is highly reliant on sales taxes to power its government. The city also is nearing the bottom of the well filled by the $308 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding it received to help it recover from the impact of COVID-19.
