The mayor of Denver joined Colorado’s senators at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday to urge Congress to support cities being burdened by the migrant crisis.
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston held a press conference alongside Sens. Michael Bennet (D-CO) and John Hickenlooper (D-CO), where the three encouraged negotiators to include resources for cities facing record migrant surges in the bipartisan border security deal. The group, joined by Reps. Jason Crow (D-CO) and Brittany Pettersen (D-CO), also emphasized the need for expanded work permits for undocumented aliens in the agreement.
