Denver Mayor just on CNN.
Somewhat embarrassing, he obviously had no clue as to Asylum etc works. Nor did the CNN host.
DENVER — On Monday, more than 120 migrant families will leave the shelters where they are staying.
They will be the first of about 800 who will be forced to leave as they time out of shelters over the next couple of weeks. The city had initially paused shelter exits due to the colder weather, but due to space and timing, that pause will end this week.
"We have filled every single hotel room that we have available in the city and county of Denver," Mayor Mike Johnston said during a town hall Tuesday.
Even with people leaving the shelters, the mayor expects the total number of people staying in shelters will remain the same -- somewhere around 4,000 to 5,000.
As of Sunday night, 3,857 migrants are currently being sheltered within the city and county of Denver. On Sunday, 101 arrived, also needing a place to go.
"Now we have the terrible decision that if we don’t start exiting folks, we will have 250 folks that will arrive today or the day after who don’t have anywhere to go on night," Johnston said Tuesday.
Now anyone who has been to Denver knows this is not true:
The downtown area is home to more than 13,000 rooms within short walking distance of the Colorado Convention Center, and there are more than 58,000 first-class hotel rooms in the greater metro area.
