The city of Denver is following the Big Apple’s lead by doling out flyers to migrants at the US border warning them to stay away from the already overburdened Colorado capital.

The notices were sent to officials in several Texas border towns earlier this week in a bid to thwart the unprecedented number of asylum seekers that have been flooding in.

“We believe these flyers convey the same message we are relaying to migrants when they arrive in Denver, which is that our shelter capacity is strained and our primary role is to provide temporary, emergency shelter,” a City of Denver spokesperson told The Post on Friday.

The memo, which is drafted in Spanish and English, warns asylum seekers that Denver’s resources have already been “exhausted” — and that single adult migrants can only stay in one of the city-run shelter for 14-days.

“If you are coming to Denver seeking shelter, it is important for you to have a plan. The city cannot provide shelter long-term,” the flyer states.

“Housing in Denver is very expensive and there aren’t many affordable housing options available.”

The flyers bear a striking similarity to ones produced by New York City that started being handed out in Texas towns last week.

Those notes, which warned migrants the Big Apple “cannot help you”, were being dished out to combat misinformation at the border, Deputy Mayor Anne Williams-Isom said.

“Here in our shelters, because we know that there are people in our shelters who are telling their family members to come to New York City and that they’ll get housing and that they’ll be able to stay with them, that is no … that has never been the case, but we want to make sure that we’re being clear with people that New York City is out of space,” Williams-Isom said.

Denver, like New York, has seen an influx of migrants pouring in from the US border given they are both sanctuary cities.

The Colorado city, to date, has put up more than 21,000 asylum seekers at a cost of $26 million, according to city officials.

“Over the past week the daily average of new arrivals is nearly 300, with the total migrant shelter population now 2,500 and nine buses from Texas arriving in Denver on Sunday alone,” the officials said this week.

“This influx – the third, following the initial wave in December and a second surge in May – is affecting shelter capacity and straining staffing availability.”  

In comparison, more than 18,400 migrants have arrived in the Big Apple since the spring of 2022 — including 61,400 that are still staying in city-run shelters.

Mayor Eric Adams has predicted the ongoing migrant crisis will set the city back upward of $12 billion.
