The council&#8217;s move comes as Denver has become the\u2062 top destination for migrants crossing the U.S. southern border.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent report,\u2063 NBC News highlighted \u2063that nearly 40,000 migrants have arrived in Denver over \u2064the past year, \u2062putting a strain on \u2064the city&#8217;s resources and costing an estimated $180 million. This influx of migrants has sparked concerns among Lakewood residents.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Not actively seeking sanctuary status while actively proposing to \u2062accept tax money\u2062 to provide sanctuary to the unhoused is dishonest,&#8221; read a placard \u2064held up by one attendee at the Lakewood \u200bcity council meeting.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Former \u2064Councilwoman \u2063Mary Janssen, a resident of Lakewood, expressed her opposition to the council&#8217;s actions, questioning\u2063 when the \u2062city decided to abandon its immigration laws and become like \u200dDenver.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;This transfer station, which is\u200c gonna turn into a money pit and a magnet\u200d for every criminal that\u2019s coming\u200d across the border, don\u2019t we have enough problems in Lakewood without importing \u2019em from Denver who are saying, \u2018Yeah, Lakewood, you\u2019re stupid enough to take all of them. \u2063Take our \u200bproblems, you dummies.\u2019 It\u2019s a money pit, and you guys are responsible for our money. Don\u2019t screw it up! This \u200bis going to be a \u200dmoney pit! Can\u2019t \u200cyou guys think five minutes ahead? Do us a big favor and just quit. Get your sorry butts\u200b up and \u2062leave.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A female resident emphasized that any resources, time, or\u200b money directed towards non-citizens takes away from essential services and infrastructure that the city needs. She pointed out that Colorado Springs has already rejected accepting migrants and urged Lakewood to do\u200c the \u2062same.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1708102054781000&#038;usg=AOvVaw1-VXohtoGW642uHKulYmZY\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Another attendee echoed the sentiment, emphasizing that the city manager and staff should prioritize the immediate\u2064 needs of Lakewood residents. They raised concerns about car theft, shoplifting, and the increase in drugs, prostitution, and crime in the once-quiet suburb.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, they called for action against heavy drug use, human trafficking, and the proliferation of seedy massage parlors. The attendee urged the council to\u200b take measures to prevent a mass influx of migrants and address the\u2062 existing issues plaguing Lakewood.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-video\">\n  <!--[if lt IE 9]>document.createElement('video');<![endif]--><br \/>\n  <video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-696893-1\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><br \/>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2024\/02\/2024-02-12-Grabien-Libs_of_TikTok-Unknown_person28s29-2295043.mp4\">https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2024\/02\/2024-02-12-Grabien-Libs_of_TikTok-Unknown_person28s29-2295043.mp4<\/a><br \/>\n  <\/video>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What measures can be implemented to ensure transparency and consultation with residents regarding decisions on the migrant crisis?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ithout any vetting and any documentation? I think that\u2019s outrageous,&#8221; Janssen said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Another resident, John Smith, voiced his concerns about\u2064 the impact of the migrant crisis on the economy and crime rates in Lakewood.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We already have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-washington-d-c-worst-place-in-country-americans-say\/\" title=\"Poll: Washington, D.C. Worst Place In Country, Americans Say\">high crime rate<\/a> in Lakewood, and this decision by the council will only worsen the situation. We cannot afford to take in more migrants without proper screening \u200cand\u200d without addressing \u200bthe underlying issues,&#8221; Smith said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The city council&#8217;s decision to engage with Denver on the migrant crisis has \u2064also attracted \u2063criticism for its lack of transparency and consultation with residents. Many residents argue \u200bthat they \u200cwere not properly informed about the council&#8217;s plans and were not given an\u200c opportunity to voice their concerns.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We elected these council members to represent us and\u200b make decisions on our behalf. It is disappointing to see them making \u200bmajor decisions without seeking input from the\u2064 community,&#8221;\u200c said Sarah \u2063Johnson, a resident of Lakewood.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The frustration and disappointment among residents of Lakewood reflect a broader division in the community\u2063 regarding the issue of immigration. While some \u2063argue for greater compassion and support \u200cfor migrants, others express concerns about \u2063the strain on resources and potential\u2063 increase in crime rates.<\/p>\n<p>It\u200b is important for the city council to address these concerns and engage in open dialogue with residents. Transparency and community \u2064involvement are crucial in making\u2064 decisions that affect the welfare and safety of the community.<\/p>\n<p>Residents of Lakewood deserve to have their \u2063voices heard and their concerns taken into \u200baccount. The city council should prioritize the well-being of \u200cits residents and ensure that any actions taken to address the migrant crisis are carefully evaluated and transparently communicated.<\/p>\n<p>As the migrant crisis continues to impact communities across the country, it is essential for local governments to strike a balance between compassion and practicality. This requires \u2063careful \u200dconsideration of the resources available, the impact on the community, and\u200b the concerns of residents.<\/p>\n<p>Residents \u200dof Lakewood, like many other\u200d communities, are grappling with the complexities of the migrant crisis. It is a challenging issue\u2064 that requires thoughtful and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/who-appoints-trans-activist-who-advocates-puberty-blockers-for-all-kids-to-gender-guidelines-group\/\" title=\"Trans activist advocating puberty blockers for all kids appointed to gender guidelines group by WHO\">inclusive decision-making processes<\/a>.
