‘Non-Sanctuary City’: Aurora, CO, Rejects Illegal Immigrants From Denver
“The City Council affirms remaining a Non-Sanctuary City and asserts the City does not currently have the financial capacity to fund new services related to this crisis and demands that other municipalities and entities do not systematically transport migrants or people experiencing homelessness to the City.”
Aurora, CO, is not happy with Denver shipping over illegal immigrants.
The city passed a resolution declaring itself a non-sanctuary city.
City council member Danielle Jurinsky said, “We will not be aiding into this migrant crisis.”
The resolution passed 7-3 on Feb. 26 as residents spoke out on both sides of the issue during the city council meeting, with the majority urging the body to reject the measure, The Denver Post reported.
“This is my home. This is my safety. You need to take a reference of it,” said an Air Force veteran in support of the resolution.
The resolution, which includes a call to secure the southern border, states: “The City Council affirms remaining a Non-Sanctuary City and asserts the City does not currently have the financial capacity to fund new services related to this crisis and demands that other municipalities and entities do not systematically transport migrants or people experiencing homelessness to the City.”
The resolution is not a law. The city has already passed a non-sanctuary city resolution.
Jurinsky thought the resolution needed to be passed again to reassert the city’s feelings:
Jurinksy said the point of the resolution was to “make a very strong statement that Aurora is not a sanctuary city. That resolution was actually passed in 2017, so the resolution I brought forward just doubled down on that.”
“This is a resolution, not an ordinance, so it’s not a law,” she explained.
“But we are making the statement that if they are caught doing it, which they were caught red-handed the first time, if they are caught doing it, they had either better send the funding and have a plan for these individuals, or a council person like myself will be extremely vocal and all over the media letting everybody know what Denver is doing.”
Jurinsky pointed out that Aurora citizens must know that the city council won’t abandon them. They’re there to serve the residents.
Jurinsky also tore into the federal government for not doing enough, causing this massive crisis.
I get what Jurinsky is saying concerning the Aurora residents. We’ve heard from many people in Chicago who feel abandoned by the mayor and city council.
The black community yelled at Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson in December because they feel forgotten:
“I’m not for the sanctuary city, and the reason why I’m not for the sanctuary city is because people have waited years to come in here legally,” [Chicago native Lauren Lawrence] she said. “Not just transported on these buses, dropped off in our neighborhood, raise of crime, almost got hit several times just making it down here today. And this is ludicrous. There should not be two sets of laws.”
“Also, the West Side and the South Side Black communities have been earmarked for having funds – never seen it. We’re still waiting those funds to come into those communities,” she continued, taking aim at the new mayor, who just assumed office in May, replacing former Mayor Lori Lighfoot.
“Brandon Johnson, many people stood behind you. They feel let down, because the day you came into office, which I believe was May 15, you already had signed an executive order,” Lawrence said Thursday, referencing Johnson’s Day One order establishing a “deputy mayor for immigrant, migrant and refugee rights.”
Denver has tasted what it’s like to be a sanctuary city. The numerous illegal immigrants shipped to the city have put a strain on the community.
Denver Health has warned that it is on the verge of collapse because of all the illegal immigrants. They don’t have insurance or money:
In 2023, Denver Health provided about $136 million in care that it didn’t receive compensation for, CEO Donna Lynne told the Denver City Council’s finance and government committee last week. That figure includes care to people covered by Medicaid when the rates the program paid didn’t cover the full costs, she said. About $100 million of that went to people living in Denver.

You don’t say…
Now they need to tell any illegals that NYC will hand them a full years rent to move elsewhere. How much is that, $20-$30 thousand dollars.?
Denver should take the opportunity to either put up the funding required to support all these illegals their leadership said they support or to climb down off their virtue signaling high horse, admit they were wrong, publicly reverse their sanctuary policies/resolutions, tell Biden to secure the Border and then resign.
All this high brow BS about being a sanctuary doesn’t mean providing financial support or that by taking public stances to encourage or worse aid and abet illegal aliens somehow doesn’t mean these jurisdictions should be responsible is ludicrous. If these jurisdictions, their leaders and the voters who elected them didn’t want to support illegal aliens they should have supported building the damn wall and deporting the illegal aliens already present.
Instead they believed they could simply virtue signal without any cost to themselves and their jurisdictions. They had that belief right up to the point Abbott and others began shipping these illegals to the very sanctuary jurisdictions who for all practical purposes invited them. Eff these idiots, let.them fund the illegals and if they prefer not to do so then they should kindly ask the Biden WH to deport them and build a wall.
Aurora to declare itself independent from the state of CO ?
Aurora be racisssss!
/s
or nah!
Return them to Denver?
Hmmm, does Aurora think that Denver has a “Returns Desk” similar to Home Depot?
You can’t even return them to the country they came from:
“Biden’s new border problem: Nations won’t take back migrants”
That’s what happens when countries empty their prison and send their best and brightest.
That’s also what happens when people take the “Give us your poor, your huddled masses… you know… the thing!” Otherwise known as free shit for everyone.
Why would they want to take back them back?
This is not a problem that cannot be solved fairly easily. The US has a lot of financial leverage over the source countries.
Barring that, there is always Guantanamo.
Erronius
I don’t think it’s big enough. Of course, we could do a Mariel boat lift in reverse and return the favor from the 80s.
Fill a Marine assault ship full of illegals and use landing craft to run them up onto beaches in their home countries. (Or at least into Mexico. Do this often enough and it would discourage Mexico from allowing transit to those from elsewhere.)
“Biden’s new border problem: Nations won’t take back migrants”
He needs to ask those nations how they will keep them out.
Sorcery?
Air drops, funded with optional parachute sales.
I should have read further before I posted!
Air drop – parachutes optional.
Sure it does, just not at Home Depot.
You need to try Homeless Depot.
Good luck wit’ dat!
Nancy Reagan said it right:
Just Say No!!!
If only the Republican Party had a backbone…
If only there was some legal means available for people to enter this country. Somebody should have, oh, I don’t know, set up a procedure or system where people could apply to be admitted to the U.S. in a legal manner.
Okay, I know it’s crazy. It’s not like the United States is a sovereign nation or anything. After all, can’t just anyone walk into your home and camp out in your living room? Why should crossing a “border” be any different?
Actually, even the legal means of entry have resulted in overwhelming numbers of unskilled, unproductive, unpatriotic immigrants who are not providing a benefit to the country.
The purpose of immigration is supposed to be a benefit to the nation, not a burden.
Years ago there used to be a legal means of entering the country but it was hardly ever used. There are still some old people who tell stories about it.
If you watch The Coneheads movie carefully, you can still see it at work.
Don’t forget Dreamers. They dream of becoming citizens, but they’re too lazy to do anything about it.
Perhaps we should set our standard the same as the country they traveled through to gain entry to the US.
Since most have entered through Mexico, this will be the standard for entry into the US.
UNDER MEXICO’S IMMIGRATION LAW (GENERAL LAW ON POPULATION):
• Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society:
– Foreigners are admitted into Mexico “according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress.” (Article 32)
– Immigration officials must “ensure” that “immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance” and for their dependents. (Article 34)
– Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets “the equilibrium of the national demographics,” when foreigners are deemed detrimental to “economic or national interests,” when they do not behave like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and when “they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy.” (Article 37)
– The Secretary of Governance may “suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest.” (Article 38)
– Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request, i.e., to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants. (Article 73)
– A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number (Article 91).
• Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned:
– Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. (Article 116)
– Foreigners who sign government documents “with a signature that is false or different from that which he normally uses” are subject to fine and imprisonment. (Article 116
• Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned as felons:
– Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished. (Article 117)
– Foreigners who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. (Article 118)
– Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison (Articles 119, 120 and 121). Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa while in Mexico – such as working with out a permit – can also be imprisoned.
• Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. The General Law on Population says,
– “A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally.” (Article 123)
– Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico instead of being imprisoned. (Article 125)
• Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered criminals under the law:
– A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127)
– Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)
Aurora can demand whatever it likes, but nobody else has to pay any attention.
True. All they can do is meet them getting off the bus and put them on another going back to where they came.
Maybe pass an ordinance making it illegal to off load buses without a permit? Not sure about that, though
People experiencing illegal immigration status may not experience their homelessness or experience sanctuary in Aurora.
Having lived in Aurora in my youth, and teen years, I’m glad to hear this, as is my sister who still lives there. There’s more than one reason for Aurora to reject illegals. You have Lowrey AFB, Fitzimmons Hospital, and Buckley Space Force there plus other military installations. You don’t need to be mixing illegals with the military.
I’m sure you meant to say illegal aliens, right? They aren’t immigrants.
I could care less about the woke’s forever evolving definition of words. I call it like I see it.
Perfectly reasonable for anywhere to ban immigrants from Denver — have you seen those people?
Sanctuary Cities are just another LIE from Progressives. Who are garbage humans. Virtue Signaling at its most fraudulent, cruel, empty. What sort of vermin promises desperate people Sanctuary but don’t mean it or can’t do it? Total POS. There are no words…
The NGO’s responsible, providing the bus and housing sevices should be disbanded, stripped of their assets and their leaders imprisoned. They partner with the Cartels whose power rivals or exceeds the Mexican government with the sole intention of breaking U.S. law.
