A bus of 50 migrants, including a one-month-old infant, arrived in front of US Vice President Kamala Harris’s Washington D.C. home on Saturday.
The migrants were mostly originally from Venezuela and Nicaragua. They were picked up by the Eagle Pass, Texas, and were shipped to D.C. by Texas Gov. Greg Abott after Harris claimed in one of her television interviews that the United States “have a secure border.”
An estimated number of 2 million illegal immigrants have entered the country during the term of President Joe Biden.
“It is open, not closed. The border is open,” insisted a man, who was among the migrants that was dropped off from Texas to D.C., to Fox News. “Everybody believes that the border is open,” he said.
“It is open because we enter. We come in free, no problem. We came illegally, not legally.”
A video of the scene showed a large number of people both men and women, as well as children, roaming around the vicinity of the vice president’s official residence.
They were carrying huge backpacks, pillows and blankets while they wait for what was going to happen next outside the guarded gates of Harris’s home.
A representative from Sanctuary DMV, a feminist group that is concerned with defending safe spaces for immigrants arrived later that day and told the migrants that they are set to be transferred to a local church where assistance is waiting for all of them.
Fox News then reported that six more buses from El Paso, Texas arrived on the east coast carrying immigrants. They were dropped off in New York City as Texas continues to make a point that there is a surge of migrants crossing the US borders illegally.
Harris has been appointed by Biden to deal with the “root causes” of migration to the US-Mexico borders in March 2021 as it has spun out of control. However, the vice president did not visit the borders until three months later, according to the New York Post.
