Colorado officials have given Abbott’s administration the address of the shelter-hotels, urging them to drop off migrants there instead of downtown, Ewing said. One night two weeks ago, in 16-degree weather, four buses arrived downtown between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m., Ewing said.

Abbott knowingly dropping people off away from shelters. What a fucking piece of shit... and a piss baby.

Why are the bus drivers of these migrants not being arrested? Start grabbing the drivers for knowingly trafficking and I bet we stop seeing drivers taking the job.

Wouldn't even be in this situation if lawmakers cared.

The seven inches of snow Denver will get Friday will be so bad. These migrants are used to a very warm climate.

Shoot, is that how much we are getting? That's bad.

0-100 inches, the normal. I do believe seven inches is what they are saying this morning.
