of the country and he requested the wording to be changed to “those who  
have entered the country without legal status” because the laws are  
important and need to be honored. He stated even though the City says  
they are prepared to address if people start to move out of Denver, CO to  
Colorado Springs due to lack of services, he does not believe the City is  
ready.  
Councilmember Avila stated this Resolution is startling and hurtful is a  
reaction to what is being said to be occurring in Aurora, CO and this

segment of the population is not equal or worthy.

intent, this Resolution is creating division and fear. She stated even though
