In 2016, nearly one in five Aurora residents is foreign born. The largest proportion of its immigrant population is from Mexico, followed by Ethiopia, El Salvador and Korea, according to city demographics.

Local government has responded accordingly, rolling out public and private aid programs in nearly every prefecture to help immigrants and refugees integrate into local lives.

FEAR NEW DENT

With word of Denver's attractiveness reaching global ears, Denver's Office of Economic Development (DOED) has added three full-time employees for global development and business, DOED Communications Director Derek Woodberry told Xinhua.

Denver's top politician, meanwhile, has done his best to save the city from becoming the collateral damage under Trump administration's rhetoric aimed at immigrants and other countries including China.

The administration's multi-front trade wars are dragging down growth, slowing the economy in the second half of the year even as inflation stays low, showed new data released Friday by the U.S. Commerce Department.

Denver Mayer Michael Hancock earlier blamed Washington for economic slowdown. When unveiling the city's tight 2020 budget in early September, he said that the president was "playing games" with the U.S. economy and leaving cities to pick up the pieces.

Hancock said that the president was "instigating a trade war and creating economic instability."
