"Denver's Struggle: Migrant Influx Pushes City to the Brink"

Denver is facing an overwhelming humanitarian crisis as thousands of migrants, including families and children, arrive in the city seeking safety and a chance at the American Dream. With temperatures dropping below zero degrees Fahrenheit, the situation has become life-threatening, prompting Mayor Mike Johnston to call for help. The influx of migrants, many of whom were sent from Texas, has strained the city's resources, leading to challenges in providing shelter, warmth, and support. The city is struggling to accommodate the arrivals, with concerns about funding, work authorization, and long wait times for asylum claims. Despite the difficulties, local residents and organizations are stepping up to provide assistance, but the city is facing tough decisions as it grapples with the ongoing crisis.
