Denver Implements Furloughs for City Employees Amid Budget Cuts

Denver is facing a budget crisis due to an influx of illegal immigrants and is considering furloughing American workers while potentially hiring illegal immigrants to work for the city. U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper encouraged local governments to issue quasi-work permits to illegal immigrants, despite potential legal consequences. Denver Public Schools is also hiring foreigners and giving them visas, while considering canceling standardized testing to avoid poor scores from illegal immigrant students. The city's flirtation with hiring illegal immigrants comes as the Biden administration's Department of Homeland Security warned the University of California about similar plans.
