Democratic Denver mayor calls for federal support amid 'unsustainable' migrant crisis: 'A solvable problem'

Democratic Denver Mayor Mike Johnston told Fox News' Shannon Bream on Sunday that the migrant crisis was "unsustainable" under their current structure.

The Denver mayor said there were plenty of jobs that migrants could fill, and said Denver had "far more open jobs right now than we have arrivals." Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.

"What we know is, this works if you coordinate that entry, you know if you have cities and states that collaborate the same way we did when we brought in refugees from Ukraine or refugees from Afghanistan, we identified cities that had capacity, we brought them in with work authorization, we gave them some federal support and those people have succeeded tremendously," he said. 

"I'm actually hopeful that this is really a solvable problem," he added. He told Bream that the crisis was "unsustainable" in the current structure.
