Utah in Uproar as Mormon Church Pulls in Thousands of Migrants
[Breitbart] The Mormon Church — officially the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) — is quietly welcoming thousands of migrants colonists sent to Utah from overcrowded Denver, Colorado, despite public protests by state and local elected officials.
Utah has suffered under the arrival of thousands of cast-off border crossers sent its way by officials in Denver, but even as the state has no resources for migrants colonists, the Mormon Church is quietly welcoming them, causing the public burden to magnify.
Republican Gov. Spencer Cox voiced his outrage in June after he said he just "learned" that Denver had been sending thousands of border crossers to Utah.
"We recently learned that the Democrat mayor of Denver has been sending illegal immigrants colonists to Utah without proper notification or approval," Cox said on X. "This is completely unacceptable and follows on the failed catch-and-release policy of the Biden administration."
Cox added, "All 50 states, including Utah, are now border states due to the failed immigration policies of President Biden and Congress. Once again we call on the Biden administration and Congress to solve this crisis."
