A bus from Texas dropped off about 50 migrants outside Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., for the second time this week.
Many of the migrants — which include men, women and children — told NBC News that they came from Venezuela. They were seen carrying small white bags with their only possessions.
A young man named Victor said that he came through “the jungle” before arriving in Texas, and that he was given food on the bus and was treated “very well.” He said he does not have a final destination in mind, but is seeking a job. A majority of the migrants on the bus told NBC News that they planned to go elsewhere as well.
Volunteers from SAMU First Response, an international humanitarian nonprofit, were on hand to assist the migrants.
Busloads of undocumented migrants began arriving in liberal strongholds without warning earlier this year as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, both of whom are Republicans running for re-election, have sought to use the tactic to call attention to what they say are the Biden administration’s failed border policies. Thousands of migrants have since arrived in New York, Washington, Chicago and beyond, sending officials in those cities scrambling to provide a system of support services to them.
Abbott started the migrant busing program to so-called sanctuary cities and was mimicked by DeSantis, who chartered two planes carrying about 50 migrants from San Antonio to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, last month. Migrants who were part of the trip have filed a class-action lawsuit against DeSantis and other state officials, alleging they were victims of fraud for political purposes.
Democratic governors whose states are affected by the tactic have condemned Abbott and DeSantis for their actions. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker issued an emergency declaration last month to grapple with nearly 500 immigrants bused to Chicago by Abbott, mobilizing the state’s National Guard after he stood before the media to call Abbott’s actions “disgusting.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom also for the Justice Department to investigate DeSantis and Abbott for their actions.
So not only has our present government…Biden,
Harris, Pelosi and too .many other aimless followers to name allowed hundreds of thousand migrant people which are a mixture of drug dealers, felons and what ever else outside countries want to get rid of to literally invade our America space!
Second our government let everyone waltz across our borders with no forth thought as to how the government would take care of them….oh but expecting the American people (individually to take care of them) to handle the overwhelming task.
Third with most all of the government officials in Washington not having to bother with the migrants and
didnt like having them placed on their doorsteps now
want to take jobs away from citizens!
Fourth now migrants want to file suit against Abbott and DeSantis for busing and flying them elsewhere in the United States (take note I said UNITED STATES) to the people who sit on their behinds with their arms crossed
praising themselves! So now someone has told the migrants a quick way to get rich and stick it to United
States citizens who have been elected by United States
Citizens to take care of their best interests!!
Fifth Ca Gov. Newsom is so quick to condemn Abbott and DeSantis for taking care of their state citizens since he doesn’t have the problem….Oh maybe some of the migrants should be allowed to visit sunny California!!
I wonder if the citizens along the coast from San Diego,
San Clemente, Palos Verde, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Malibu, Santa Barbara etc, would appreciate an
Influx of migrant’s ( remember you don’t know who makes up the mix) expecting free housing, food, jobs,
education ( all the things that we as citizens have
been brought up not to expect something for nothing)
Even with the enormous inflation we face we must remember to be a proud people not people that lay down and get trampled!!!
