DENVER – Mayor Michael B. Hancock released the following statement regarding the Executive Orders on Immigration signed today by the President:
 
“Denver, and cities across the country, have continually looked to and asked for Washington to act on comprehensive immigration reform. Unfortunately, that’s not what we saw today. Instead, communities and families will now be penalized for the Federal Government’s failure to act. The Executive Orders signed today put our economic security as a nation at risk, and I am deeply disappointed.
 
“We are a proud nation of immigrants and Denver’s number one priority is the safety, health and wellbeing of everyone who lives in our city. That is why we will not support taking unlawful or unconstitutional actions on behalf of our federal law enforcement, while continuing to comply with federal immigration laws.
 
“We have a history of being a city of opportunity for everyone, and we have every intention to maintain our character. This is about what is best for the residents of Denver, and I will remain steadfast in doing everything I can to protect our people – immigrants or not – and protect their rights.”


Declaración del Alcalde Hancock con respecto a las órdenes ejecutivas sobre inmigración 
DENVER – El Alcalde Michael B. Hancock emitió la siguiente declaración con respecto a las Órdenes Ejecutivas sobre Inmigración firmadas por el Presidente: 

“Denver y las ciudades de todo el país continuamente han mirado a Washington y han solicitado la implementación de una reforma inmigratoria comprehensiva. Desafortunadamente, no es eso lo que vimos. Por el contrario, las comunidades y las familias ahora serán penalizadas porque el Gobierno Federal no actuó. Las Órdenes Ejecutivas firmadas ponen en riesgo nuestra economía y la seguridad de la nación. Estoy profundamente desilusionado.

“Somos orgullosamente una nación de inmigrantes, y la principal prioridad de Denver es la seguridad, salud y bienestar de todos los que viven en esta ciudad. Por eso, no respaldaremos tomar acciones ilegales o inconstitucionales en nombre de las fuerzas del orden federales, aunque cumpliremos con las leyes federales. 

“Tenemos una historia de ser una ciudad de oportunidades para todos y tenemos toda la intención de mantener esa característica. Se trata de lo que es mejor para los residentes de Denver y me mantendré firme en hacer todo lo que pueda para proteger a nuestra gente, inmigrantes o no, y para proteger sus derechos”.
