Photos from local media showed the two vehicles carrying dozens of peopleIllegal immigrantThe bus has arrivedWashingtonUnited States Naval Observatory, DCThere is also the Vice President of the United StatesHe Jinli(Kamala Harris, also translated: Kamala Harris) residence in the capital.
Additionally, Texas Governor Greg Abbott also confirmed on Twitter that two buses carrying illegal immigrants had been sent to Harris’ residence.
Abbott said they were sent to the community in response to recent remarks made by the vice president. The vice president, who was appointed by President Biden last year to oversee US border security, said there is no southern border crisis.
Abbott wrote on Thursday: “The vice president says our border is ‘safe’ (and) denies that there is a crisis. So we send migrants to his backyard to ask a Biden administration to do its job, to ensure the border security “.
Video taken from the scene showed a large group of men, women and children carrying items including pillows, blankets and clothes outside Harris’ official residence.
“We’ve been waiting at Union Station since 6 am. It’s only been 20 minutes,” Marla Bustilos of the NGO Sanctuary DMV told Fox News on Thursday. I heard they sent people here. “
He added: “We have a church and another place. In that safe place, they can tell us where they need to go next, where their relatives are. And the media knew the place before us.”
declared emergency
In recent months, Governor Abbott has used dozens of buses to transport migrants who illegally crossed the US-Mexico border to cities including New York City, Chicago and Washington, DC.
TexasThe governor said Texas border towns have been overwhelmed by a massive increase in illegal immigration. He also said that policymakers in Democratic-run cities and states should themselves address the reality of the immigration policies they support.
The Republican governor also said that those areas, which all call themselves so-called “sanctuary cities,” which means they will not abide by immigration rules designated by US immigration and law enforcement officials, are more suitable for illegal immigration compared to the place of Texas.
On September 8, in Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser declared a state of emergency in the city due to the surge in illegal immigration. On Wednesday (September 14), Illinois Governor JB Pritzker also issued a disaster order and deployed the National Guard.
Bowser, Pritzker and other Democrats criticized Abbott’s actions in transporting illegal immigrants. But at the same time they are reluctant to attribute the surge in illegal immigration to the policies of the Biden administration.
According to a report released last month, in the first 18 months of Joe Biden’s presidency, nearly 5 million people illegally crossed the border.
On two separate occasions in recent days, Bowser has called for the activation of the National Guard in the US capital in response to the surge in illegal immigration. The Department of Defense had previously rejected a similar request from him in late August.
This week, a senior Democratic official again blamed Abbott and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey. Both Republican governors are transporting illegal immigrants to the capital, Washington.
District of Columbia council member Brianne Nadeau said, “It was the governors of Texas and Arizona who created this crisis (in Washington).” But she didn’t refer to the federal government’s immigration policy.
He also added to reporters: “The federal government has not come forward to assist the District of Columbia. So we will do what we have done with our regional partners and rise to the challenge.”
The Epoch Times contacted Governor Art’s office and the White House for comment.
