Denver mayor's faith guides him on immigration issue as city grapples with migrant crisis: 'Not sustainable'
Fox News
Democratic Denver Mayor Mike Johnston says his faith is guiding his immigration views as his city grapples with an increasingly unsustainable migrant crisis.
According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, one is eligible to apply for a permit to legally work in the U.S. if they have been "recently paroled" or have an asylum application that's been pending for at least 150 days. Johnston has pleaded with the feds to make it easier and quicker to get those authorizations.
"Certainly the current path is not sustainable for us as a city," Johnston said. "This would be a $180 million impact on our budget in 2024 [10%] without some change in that flow."
