The city is scaling down its spending for sheltering immigrants to save money. But the move will force hundreds of people out of their temporary housing.

Nearly 40,000 migrants have arrived in Denver over the past two years, with 3,800 currently in city shelters.

A spokesperson for Denver Mayor Mike Johnston told Newsweek that the city cannot sustain the ongoing migrant surge.

The migrants are largely from Venezuela and are awaiting work authorization.

Next Monday, 150 people will be discharged when Denver resumes enforcing length-of-stay policies. Hundreds more will be kicked out in the coming weeks.

The length-of-stay limit at shelters kicks in again on February 5, but the city doesn't want to send families into homelessness.

The City of Denver will begin ordering foreign national migrants in its shelter system to leave on Feb. 5.
