As a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-red-wave-of-conservative-women-elected-to-congress\/\" title=\"The Red Wave of Conservative Women Elected to Congress\">sanctuary city<\/a>, New York City has 64,400 immigrants in its shelters, with Adams pleading the Biden administration for federal assistance. Current estimates reveal the cost of caring for the immigrants will put the city back $10 billion through next fiscal year. <\/p>\n<p>Denver has sheltered more than 41,000 immigrants who have come across the southern border, costing the city $68 million. The Denver City Council\u2019s Finance and Governance Committee recently approved cutting about $41 million to support the city\u2019s migrant response. <\/p>\n<p>Mayors have called on the Biden administration to make it easier for migrant workers to attain working visas in the hope of easing the burden posed on cities. <\/p>\n<p>Kansas City has not been hit with an influx of immigrants like New York, Chicago, and Denver have, but Lucas believes businesses in Kansas City short on workers would greatly benefit from laborers. <\/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>\u201cWe need a lot more employees,\u201d Lucas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-04-16\/new-york-migrants-invited-by-kansas-city-mayor-to-fill-jobs-demand?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTcxMzI4OTI0MywiZXhwIjoxNzEzODk0MDQzLCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJTQzFQUDNUMVVNMFcwMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiIzRjQyNkUyMzlGNUE0QTNBOUE5OTk2RDNDRDhBMzQxMiJ9.YmLdB9bBbUL_FYnybHif9WbL47nqqmwP9ygtXQ9qs-M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>told<\/a> <em>Bloomberg<\/em>. \u201cIf there are people who are willing and ready to work, then I believe that there could be a place for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kansas City\u2019s new budget has $1 million set aside for immigrants, offering short-term housing, healthcare, and job training.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas expressed openness to welcoming asylum-seekers and refugees from crowded cities like New York City and Denver.
