Buses of Migrants Appear Outside Kamala Harris' House Sent by Greg Abbott

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has reportedly sent two buses of migrants to Kamala Harris' residence at the Naval Observatory in Washington D.C., delivering between 75 and 100 people outside the vice president's official mansion.

According to a breaking news report by Fox News, the migrants originally come from Venezuela, Uruguay, Colombia and Mexico. They were picked up at Eagle Pass in Texas, and sent to Washington on the Republican governor's orders.

The two buses that arrived outside Harris' residence are the latest of dozens sent by Abbott to Washington D.C., New York and Chicago since April. With this tactic, the Texas governor is trying to make a point about the Biden administration's immigration policies which Abbott says are overwhelming Texas.

Newsweek has contacted Abbott's office and the White House for comment.

According to Abbott's office, more than 9,400 migrants have been dropped off in Washington since April—now likely over 9,500 with those left outside the vice president's residence—and more than 2,100 have been sent to New York.

According to data from the Texas Division of Emergency Management, Texas has spent over $12 million chartering buses to transport migrants to more liberal states. CNN, which obtained a state government spreadsheet through a Freedom of Information Act request, found that the state has paid $12,707,720.92 to Wynne Transportation, the charter service that is taking migrants to Washington, D.C. and New York.
