The City of Denver in Colorado may have to spend an estimated $180 million on the illegal immigration crisis in 2024 if the influx of illegal immigrants continues, Mayor Mike Johnston has said.

Mr. Johnston revealed the estimated cost during the weekly mayor-council meeting on Jan. 2, referring to the new arrivals as “newcomer migrants.”
