Denver city officials have just released a 22-page guide that comprehensively details how to house, feed, clothe, employ, and otherwise subsidize and reward illegal immigration. Its based on the citys own experience as a sanctuary jurisdiction and now theyre anxious to share their success with municipal colleagues across thecountry.

In fact, theyre absolutely giddy about theirnew guide:

Introduction: Welcome to the City and County of Denvers Newcomers Playbook! We are thrilled that you are interested in creating a welcoming environment for migrants in your city. As part of Denvers welcoming approach, we use the term newcomers to refer to migrants, recognizing that they are new to our city and embracing a more inclusive language. This playbook is a guide divided into two sections, offering recommendations and strategies for successfully integrating newcomers into yourcity.

As instruction manuals go, the Playbook is a marvel of thoroughness; a turnkey to-do list for any public official wanting to launch a sanctuary jurisdiction, or to take their existing sanctuary policies to a whole new level. The Playbook details how to establish migrant intake centers; ensure efficient transportation; set up budgets; assign individualized case workers; provide housing and health care; develop networks with volunteers, nonprofits, and community based organizations; and locate local, state and federal funding sources. Meticulous in its detail, the Playbook also offers a voluminous check list of guest-related questions sanctuary administrators carefully consider suchas:

If showers and laundry services are not available at the site, how will you ensure these services are accessible? Will you bring in shower trailers and laundry trucks or provide resources for guests to find these services on their own? How many staff members are needed for each shift to support the guests, and what communication infrastructure is necessary for consistent communication between decision-makers and shelter workers? How will you ensure that the necessary resources to assist guests in their journey are available and ready to beused?

The Playbook hasnt overlooked anything, even offering creative workarounds for newcomers lack of Social Security numbers, and the difficulty that presents when the city rents themapartments:

If an online application requires an SSN to move forward in the online portal, we have entered 123-45-6789. If a landlord insists on an SSN, look for a differentapartment.

Denver definitely follows its own advice. The city offers migrantsamong other thingssix months of rental, food and utility assistance, a free computer, a prepaid cell phone and metro bus passes. We designed this program to be holistic, saidSarah Plastino, director of the citys NewcomerProgram.

Since December 2022, nearly 40,000 illegal aliens arrived in Denver -more per capita than any other city in the nation, costing more than $42 million, althoughsome put the figure closer to $100 million. As is the case in so many other sanctuary cities, Denvers welcoming policies have resulted in housing shortages, public encampments, spiralingschool costs and a dramatic rise ofuncompensated care at local hospitals. City resources are nearly depleted,forcing several departments, including police and fire, to slash their budgets to free up funds to deal with theinflux.

Despite the chaos, Denver feels compelled to peddle their Newcomer Playbook to other American city officials. Its lengthy guide concludes with an encouraging message that other cities follow theirlead:

We hope that the City and County of Denvers Newcomers Playbook proves to be a valuable resource for other cities that are embarking on a new chapter in supporting newcomers and providing these services on a largescale.

Maybe it isworth a look. Public officials who want law and order and fiscal solvency in their cities should closely examine what Denver does and then make sure they do the exactopposite.
