We had encampments larger than anything we've ever seen in the city before of migrants on the streets. Today, we've closed every single one of those aid shelters. We don't have a single encampment of migrants on the streets. We've put almost 8,700 people into work authorization. and they're paying taxes, supporting our economy, sending kids to school, like that's how it's supposed to work. And I think Denver didn't ask for this, but they did an amazing job responding to it. (07:41–07:45)
