text: Hancock's proposed EO fails the U.S. Constitution and existing federal laws. His proposed EO makes clear that illegal foreigners have substantially more rights than U.S. citizens. If a U.S. citizen in Denver County Jail has a federal detainer, they're handed over to federal custody. The EO threatens termination for any Denver employee who dares to act within the Constitution and applicable federal laws? 
  
  The idea that Hancock wants to take city taxpayer funds to facilitate legal representation to illegal foreigners is priceless. Whether the costs are direct or administrative overhead costs, Hancock can't take city taxpayer funds for illegal foreigners. 
  
  Supremely ironic that school starts this month in Denver but the Mayor and Council don't care one whit about the U.S. children who attend city schools. U.S. children are second-class citizens in Hancock, et al, warped sense of duty. Funds for illegal foreigners, nothing for Denver's children. Hancock's moral barometer indeed.
