<p>Denver is struggling to metabolize the more than 40,000 illegal migrants who have arrived in the city in recent months.</p>
<p>Colorado&#8217;s capital is a sanctuary city, but lately, shelters are so overwhelmed that officials have <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/denver-struggles-cope-40000-migrants-rcna135555" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decided</a> to limit how long migrants can stay in rooms provided by the government.</p>
<p>Starting February 5, migrant families can only stay in a shelter room for six weeks, Mayor Mike Johnston&#8217;s office announced.</p>
<p>A spokesperson for Johnston&#8217;s office <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/denver-becoming-overwhelmed-40000-spike-migrant-population" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a> that the influx is &#8220;straining capacity&#8221; and that &#8220;over the past two months, Denver has seen a dramatic uptick in arrivals and is currently sheltering 4,000 people.&#8221;</p>
<p>Johnston, a Democrat, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/denver-struggles-cope-40000-migrants-rcna135555" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the city would likely need $100 million over the course of this year to pay for migrant costs such as housing, school, and health care.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, city hospital Denver Health has about $10 million in unpaid medical bills from migrants. The hospital has requested more money from both Colorado and the federal government.</p>
<p>Doctors there have <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/denver-struggles-cope-40000-migrants-rcna135555" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> an uptick in parasitic infections caused by the drinking water migrants consumed on their way to the southern border.</p>
<p>A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said the department would continue to work with the city on the migrant issue.</p>
<p>&#8220;We continue to urge Congress to approve our supplemental request, provide us with the resources to manage the Southwest Border in a humane, safe, and orderly manner, and provide communities across the country with the financial support they need,” the spokesperson <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/denver-struggles-cope-40000-migrants-rcna135555" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> NBC News.</p>
<p>Denver has only 710,000 residents, meaning the new migrants have increased the city&#8217;s population by more than 5%. The new arrivals now make up a more significant segment of the city&#8217;s population than they do in larger cities that have seen a recent migrant influx, such as New York City or Chicago.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the city&#8217;s public schools have received nearly 3,000 new migrant children, mainly from Venezuela, since July, which has strained the school system&#8217;s resources and funding, Adrienne Endres, the executive director of multilingual education for the school district, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/denver-struggles-cope-40000-migrants-rcna135555" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> NBC News.</p>
<p>More than 600 of the children previously received little to no schooling at all, so they must spend time catching up, Endres said.</p>
<p>More tent cities are cropping up in the city, which already has a significant homeless problem — the homeless population <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/denvers-homeless-population-spiked-over-30-in-one-year-annual-count-finds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spiked</a> more than 30% last year.</p>
<p>As many as 200 tents appeared in the area of one local bar, the owner told Fox News.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s people right across the street that couldn&#8217;t even get to our door, so decline was pretty quick. The first three months, it was fine. After that, it was pretty aggressive for the decline of business,&#8221; Samantha Menendez, the co-owner of &#8220;One Shot Back&#8221; bar, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/denver-becoming-overwhelmed-40000-spike-migrant-population" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.</p>
