In a video at a migrant shelter, Denver&#8217;s\u2062 political director, Andres \u2062Carrera, encourages immigrants to explore cities like New York and Chicago for more job prospects and longer-term shelter.\u2062 While not barring immigrants from staying, Carrera warns of potential hardships if they\u2063 remain in Denver.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Facing a multimillion-dollar <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/budget\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>budget<\/a> deficit, the city of <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/colorado\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Denver<\/a> is suggesting that immigrants go elsewhere. <\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.9news.com\/article\/news\/local\/next\/next-with-kyle-clark\/denver-warns-newly-arrived-migrants-to-leave\/73-9f475e63-47cd-4315-bd54-e2d4aa4e6adc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>video<\/a> from inside a migrant shelter showed Andres Carrera, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston\u2019s political director, speaking in Spanish to immigrants telling them there are better opportunities outside Colorado. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe opportunities are over,\u201d Carrera said. \u201cNew York gives you more. Chicago gives you more. So I suggest you go there where there is longer-term shelter. There are also more job opportunities there.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not going to block you if you want to stay here,\u201d Carrera said. \u201cIf you stay here, you are going to suffer even more, and I don\u2019t want to see this.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The immigrants in the video arrived in Denver on March 26, a part of Gov. Greg Abbott\u2019s (R-TX) efforts to bus immigrants out of Texas to sanctuary cities, according to a city spokesperson. Carrera said immigrants won\u2019t be blocked from staying, but he suggested that staying would invoke \u201csuffering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Denver recently began cracking down on immigrants staying in the city. Last month, the city began <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/2896949\/denver-closing-one-immigrant-shelter-per-week-to-save-city-60-million\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>closing<\/a> shelters in order to address its budget deficit. Closing shelters saved the city $60 million, bringing the deficit down to $120 million from $180 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe knew that as a result of federal inaction on immigration and the resulting budget crisis, there were two important steps we needed to take,\u201d Johnston said at the time of the closures. \u201cOne was to adjust the city\u2019s budgets to help support these needs, and the second was to reduce the overall cost of our migrant program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Immigrants were not kicked out but moved to different shelters as part of the consolidation process. Carrera\u2019s message suggests Denver is still looking to cut the number of immigrants in the city from 38,000 in February. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/2894720\/colorados-third-largest-city-immigrants-bussed-from-denver\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Other<\/a> Colorado cities had said they will not financially support the immigration crisis. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t have to walk anywhere.

We can take you up to the Canadian border, wherever!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the city clarified that comment, saying Denver will not be buying immigrants tickets but will help them get to their desired destination.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Denver imposes limits on how long immigrants can stay.
