Democratic leaders in sanctuary states and cities are pleading for help as record-breaking numbers of migrants are entering the country.
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston is the latest sanctuary city Democrat to speak out. Though he proposed a number of solutions on “America’s Newsroom” Friday, Johnston ultimately echoed calls from other Democrats, insisting “more federal aid” is urgently needed.

Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson expressed concern in December, saying his city is “close to capacity.”
