Sanctuary city's mayor calls for "shared sacrifice", but it’s only the legal residents who are on the altar
/Denver Mayor Cuts More Public Services to Free Up Funds For Illegal Aliens
“Free up” — you know, take the money that taxpayers paid in for municipal services they benefit from, and spend it for other purposes, on other people.
…[We] will start to have greenlight a series of hard decisions about budget reductions across the city to meet those costs that we know will continue to arrive… while they are the first steps. they may not be the last or the hardest.
Among the latest round of cuts imposed by Johnston will affect the DMV and Parks and Recreation, meaning fewer hours will be available to hourly and seasonal workers, some of whom have worked that job for decades:
We know that folks who've been seasonal workers for us for 20 years, so I don't want to hide the fact that this matters a lot to those people that are on the frontlines. This is a plan for shared sacrifice. This is what good people do in hard situations as you try to manage your way to serve all of our values.
Where’s the “sharing” here? It’s an entirely one-sided “redistribution” from the no-longer-wanted residents and to those who, as Connecticut’s Senator Murphy says, are “the people we care about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country,"
Denverites love this stuff, and keep voting for more, so I guess it’s Menken’s definition of democracy at work.
