As I’ve been tracking the migrant crisis across the country, it’s become increasingly clear to me that the change in terminology from “migrants” to “newcomers” in Denver isn’t just about words—it’s about the narrative. Seeing how this linguistic shift is being used, I can’t help but feel it’s a deliberate attempt to soften the reality of illegal immigration.
In a move that reeks of contradiction, he warmly welcomes migrants who’ve skirted legal entry into our country, affectionately dubbing them “newcomers.” Yet, in a glaring admission of the consequences, he’s been forced to hold a press conference to talk about slashing budgets left and right.
These cuts outlined below are a direct hit from the financial strain these so-called “newcomers” are placing on our resources. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, seeing essential services potentially on the chopping block, all because we’re sidestepping the legalities of immigration.
This isn’t about denying compassion or assistance to those in need; it’s about acknowledging the legal and societal implications of entering a country without following its laws. The more I delve into this issue, the more I see the potential consequences on public resources, safety, and the fairness of the immigration process. It’s a complex issue, no doubt, but one where the language we use matters in shaping our understanding and response.
