Migrant crisis plunges Denver’s main public hospital deep into the red after patients received $130 MILLION of treatments they were unable to pay for
The migrant crisis in Denver has plunged the city’s main public hospital deep into the red after patients received $136 million in treatment they couldn’t pay for.
Denver Health lost $2 million in 2022 – but that was substantially-reduced by a $20 million cash injection from the state.
In 2022, the hospital system lost $35 million, with bosses warning of ‘dire consequences’ for the hospital if 2024 is as bad as the previous two.
The rise in costs has coincided with the unprecedented number of immigrants who crossed America’s border and arrived in Denver. Around 36,000 have arrived so far – many of them bused from Texas – with 18,000 deciding to stay… (Continue to full article)
Border Patrol Chooses Sides After Abbott Seizes Land in Overrun Eagle Pass
Amid the still-worsening border chaos created by the policies of Biden, Texas has refused to accept what the Secretary of Homeland Security still can’t bring himself to call a “crisis.” The Lone Star State’s latest action on Thursday: seizing a swath of city-owned parkland along the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, kicking federal border agents off the property, and enforcing the international border with Mexico.
Shelby Park — the land seized by the Texas National Guard — sits adjacent to the International Bridge where surges of illegal immigrants stream into the U.S. Over the span of just a few days in December, some 12,000 illegal immigrants unlawfully streamed into the U.S. at Eagle Pass, reinforcing its status one of the main entry points for masses of illegal crossers.
According to Texas officials — who notified Eagle Pass that the park was being taken over by the state — national guardsmen have “maintained a presence with security points and temporary barrier in Shelby Park since 2021” and the “current posture is to prepare for future illegal immigrant surges and to restrict access to organizations that perpetuate illegal immigrant crossings in the park and greater Eagle Pass area… (Continue to full article)
14 Democrats Join Republicans In Vote to Condemn Biden for the Border Crisis
Fourteen House Democrats joined Republicans in the vote to denounce President Joe Biden over his devastating open border policies.
On Wednesday, lawmakers passed a GOP-led resolution “denouncing the Biden administration’s open-borders policies, condemning the national security and public safety crisis along the southwest border, and urging President Biden to end his administration’s open-borders policies.”
The resolution comes as more than 300,000 illegal migrants attempted to cross the southern border in December – an all-time high record.

The Impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas is Moving Forward
Lyin’-Ass Mayorkas
The House Homeland Security Committee held a hearing on Capitol Hill Thursday to review the potential impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. After hours of testimony from parents whose children were killed by illegal immigrants and fentanyl, Republicans are moving forward.
Illegal crossings into the United States continue to reach catastrophic, historic levels. Senate Republicans are currently negotiating a deal with Democrats and the White House for asylum reform in exchange for new Ukraine funding.
During a meeting at the White House Wednesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson reiterated House Republicans will not support new foreign aid funding until their version of a border security package is passed.
House Republicans will continue to demand transformative policy change and hold this administration accountable until the border is secure… (Continue to full article)
