Andres Carrera, recently appointed as Denver’s new public relations liaison, tells newly arrived illegal aliens that their “opportunity is over” in the welcoming city of Denver and they should turn around and leave the city immediately. The plea was captured on video.
Carrera, who transitioned from the administration of Democratic Gov. Jared Polis to that of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston last year, told migrants arriving in the city on March 26 that there was nothing in Denver and that they would move right away. I can see you warning that you should. You can go to New York City or Chicago and “get more” there.
In the video, Carrera tells immigrants in Spanish that their “opportunity is over,” Denver News 9 report Saturday.
Watch the video:
“New York offers more. Chicago offers even more. So I recommend going somewhere with long-term shelter. There are even more jobs there. There are opportunities,” the Denver immigration official added.
This from a city that claims to welcome immigrants with open arms. But the city recently began kicking migrants out of shelters if they stay in the shelter system too long. The city of Denver also spent nearly $40 million against Joe Biden’s wave of illegal aliens.
“We have taken in so many migrants that we have run out of resources,” Carrera told a group of migrants at the city’s main migrant shelter.
“If you want to say it here, we’re not going to block you,” Carrera said, but added, “If you stay here, you’re going to suffer even more, and I don’t want to see this happen.” No,” he added ominously.
Carrera also told migrants the city would pay for their airfare and bus fare to their desired U.S. city.

“You don’t have to walk anywhere. We can buy you a free ticket,” Carrera exclaims. “You can go to any city. No matter where you are, I’ll take you to the Canadian border.”
Still, judging by the end of the video, his warnings may have fallen on deaf ears. When Carrera asked who wanted to stay, all the immigrants said they wanted to stay.
This is not the first time Denver authorities have tried to cut off migrants at the pass.
Last October, Mr. Johnston sent city officials to several Texas border towns to hand out fliers urging immigrants to skip Denver because the city was full and there was no room for undocumented immigrants. I let it happen.
But Colorado’s law acts as a draw, even as officials plead with migrants not to travel to the Centennial state.
For example, in May 2019, Governor Polis signed the following: HB19-1124, The law prohibits Colorado law enforcement from detaining illegal immigrants at the request of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The law allows illegal aliens to remain in Colorado with relative freedom from interference from immigration authorities.
