'Unsustainable': Gov. Cox first commented on migrant flights to Utah months ago

Denver has paid travel costs for thousands of migrants to be flown or bused to Utah, and while officials first indicated the arrival of migrants was a surprise, KUTV learned some may have been aware of the larger issue of migrants being sent to Utah for longer.
Shortly after KUTV first reported on the issue, Gov. Spencer Cox sent the following statement:
We recently learned that the Democrat mayor of Denver has been sending illegal immigrants to Utah without proper notification or approval. This is completely unacceptable and follows on the failed catch-and-release policy of the Biden administration. Every state has received illegal immigrants and Utah’s resources are completely depleted. 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.
