#2,350 - Denver passes the buck of expensive illegal immigrants by bussing them to Salt Lake City
Manage episode 424735886 series 2792715
Denver is paying travel costs to send migrants to Utah — roughly 2,000 so far — even as the state, Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County lack capacity to care for them, and as they urge asylum seekers to go someplace else.
