Another money laundering scheme using tax payer dollars.

Oh, but the folks in charge will fix this better next time, after the elections, if we only let them keep their jobs.

Note to leaders (both parties): stop peeing on our shoes and telling us it’s raining!!!

This is evidence of FJB/Heels Up regime execution of the Cloward Piven strategy and certain justification of voting this cancerous regime out. How much more must our citizens suffer??

stayin gold's avatar

Only as much as we allow. Fight back and imprison all responsible for this invasion!!!!!!

Lydia Lozano's avatar

And how much more of this must we finance with our tax dollars?

Whenever I hear music used in a documentary of any kind I assume that makers of the documentary are trying to sway me with means extrinsic to the proof they have. This is a common practice which I urge you to give up; make your argument straightforwardly.

I agree with you. I detest emotional manipulation, even if I agree with the message. Just give me the facts.

Mimi's avatar

Well the facts are what your eyes are seeing and words spoken. Do you ever watch 20/20, or Dateline or every documentary out there. All have music.

David Silverberg's avatar

Upstart, an interesting comment. So even if you agree, the use of music to create an ominous tone is what stands out to you? But isn't that truthful? IMHO I do not see anything wrong with giving a video about fed support of community destruction an ominous tone. I think you may be engaging is self-silencing and self-sensorship. Feel free to detest emotional manipulation that support lies but this is a truth and IMHO the soundtrack is truthful. What is going on is quite terrible.

To those who don't like being emotionally manipulated, it's not a good thing, no. It's a signal to think or feel a certain way. I would prefer to think my own way. Hard to do with an ominous or happy sound track.

Throgmorton's avatar

Well, there are subtitles, so you can mute the sound and supply your own music, whether it is Bach's Toccata and Fugue or Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini. Perhaps the soundtrack to Space Odyssey is more to your taste?

The Real Mary Rose's avatar

Testy & triggered is no way to go through life.

Throgmorton's avatar

Someone who complains about being emotionally manipulated by soundtracks ought to know, LOL!

The Real Mary Rose's avatar

Try reading my comment again for comprehension, since that's not at all what I said. The easily triggered don't know how to listen, you're too busy knee-jerking. "LOL!"

c Anderson's avatar

Upstart is just a bit sensitive right now. All the extrinsic stuff is overwhelming. 🀑

c Anderson's avatar

Triggered? Take a chill pill Suzy.

Bryn Cannon's avatar

As a musician and a composer, I completely agree.

The Real Mary Rose's avatar

Isn't it interesting how personal some of these people take an opinion about music? My God, you'd think you just accused them of murder.

c Anderson's avatar

So you want someone to control what you hear? Frankly, that is just dumb when as a composer, I would think you want to sell music.

Bryn Cannon's avatar

Because I love music, I prefer if people don’t abuse it to manipulate people’s emotions, as Upstart said above. It’s a cheap trick. If you think this point of view is dumb, fine. Some of us just see it differently.

c Anderson's avatar

Are you trying to manipulate my emotions with your post? Music can be a cheap trick? Maybe we should outlaw music because it might be considered mind control. So you think when they play the country’s anthem when athletes receive medals at the Olympics is manipulation? Music is free speech. So how are we to set up the rules for music so that there is zero chance of manipulation?

c Anderson's avatar

Muting every bright color would also help. Red circles, and red Xs used to draw attention are insulting. 🀑

Bryn Cannon's avatar

c, you seem triggered. The point being made here is just that the video footage is enough to get the point across. You don’t need scary music to stoke more fear.

The Real Mary Rose's avatar

Maybe he did the sound track - hahahaha!

The Real Mary Rose's avatar

Yes they should leave out the emotional manipulation music.

Keep America Free's avatar

Who gives a flip whether or not music is played! We have a corrupt system and corrupt Denver leaders (progressive Dems btw, as are most political leaders in blue cities and states) using taxpayer dollars to fund an invasion of illegals. That seems to be a huge problem, soundtrack or not!

Tex Regan's avatar

Seriously? Music is your complaint? LOOK SQUIRREL!

Michael Miller's avatar

No explanation beside a deliberate destruction of our country, allowing the blob to β€œrescue” us and impose their power and control. Last chance to halt the communist revolution may close if not acted upon.

Richard Fahrner's avatar

well, not so sure I would call the intro and lite background "sound" , real music. The actual content is what I find compelling. The reporter actually got shots of what is going on. Normally that is very dangerous to secure, as the perpetrators do not what their faces shown, or the light of day to arrive. Next, all that money and no one has record of what it is going for. IMO nothing good, simply trying to cover up what this admin has been doing to the American people, at our expense.

I am all for deportations, starting Jan 21, 2025 and we use every method necessary to find illegals, and send them back home. At the same time, the border is closed for business, til further notice.

take care, good reporting Chris and team.

David Silverberg's avatar

So much to unpack. A great demonstration of how the libs/ beauracratic state (1) have much too much money and (2) how they use funds as they see fit regardless of the earmark of the funds and (3) how the fed funds incompetency and (4) how the immigration crisis is a big money-machine for the corrupt parts of government and (5) why gov and gov money needs to be "closer to the people" when possible because, when it is not, it hurts people.

Interesting the documentary says that, Since 2022 more than 43,000 migrants have landed in the mile high city and cost Denver more than $70 million. I live in Massachusetts and we have had an influx of far far fewer migrants in the last year and and it has cost the State of Massachusetts more than one billion dollars to date (yes, one billion $$). What we haven't seen is crime and rampant homelessness because the state has thrown absolutely massive resources (tax payer dollars) towards these migrants (resources that impoverished Massachusetts residents don't get!). It goes to show there are two ways to manage this crises. Either throw massive amounts of resources towards these migrants or don't throw resources at them and watch how your community will be ruined. Both ways of dealing with the crises are utterly unsustainable. Close the border and send most of them back!

Honestly, it’s the low end segments of society we are receiving who just aren’t able to land on their feet and contribute. There are other ways to improve demographics. If it’s young people we want more of in our country β€” HUNGARY has a very good model. But in Canada, our politicians are far too greedy, wanting gold plated paychecks, and pensions and this is the easy way to get it.

The Real Mary Rose's avatar

The communists need to destroy the traditional American way of life before implementing their Smart Cities and digital feudal system. This is part of it. Look for more of this, everywhere. To destroy a country, you first destroy the culture. Illegals are treated better than US citizens across the board and WE are forced to pay for it. This is what you get with Biden/Harris.

America is being killed by bloated NGO's and Non-profits... Shut it down

Polly Styrene's avatar

And they’re getting paid so richly to participate in the destruction of America

HG's avatar

good job chris

i have forwarded this to many aquaintences that think these are exaggerated stories.

it is short and compelling

keep them coming !

Polly Styrene's avatar

These are the migrants that showed up on the border and are finding their way across the US. Why did the US take them in? This is the Democrats problem, wef, humanity, all that. That landlord got what he deserved those low end humans thought everything would be free in the land of milk and Honey. Rent? What? I ain’t paying no rent.

Spud Ruckus's avatar

They are literally using these migrants as a bioweapon.

Bryan Leed's avatar

Unfortunately, it is a classic truth. Government housing always becomes a giant slum and cesspool for crime. Military is the exception because they enforce discipline.

Our problem today is the Democrat party is hell-bent upon turning all American citizens into destitute people at the level of migrant workers. They're doing this by overloading neighborhoods of poor Americans with these illegal immigrants. Not a mistake, it is intended and then camouflaged as a mistake. Oops, my bad, if they are caught.

The IRS extracts the money from each of your paychecks and it ends up destroying our towns and cities. And of course, somebody puts a bunch of it in their pockets.

Geoffrey Lee's avatar

Thank you for further educating me on how these migrant housing situations work. It's too bad that American citizens wind up suffering. But they need to think about how they are voting. They have a chance to vote again pretty soon. And if they vote again for the same people that did this to them, well then shame on them. They're gonna get more of what they voted for.

β€œMom, I am beginning to think he was right about everything”

β€œYes Honey, he was right, but he gave people mean nicknames on Twitter and said some boorish things about women, so your father and I choose to vote for complete economic collapse and irreversible destruction of our culture.”

Polly Styrene's avatar

But is it only dem cities getting these migrants?

Geoffrey Lee's avatar

No, we're all unfortunately getting them, as you say. But it's their voting that's causing it.
