In the capital, Washington, the bus dropped off about 50 migrants directly at Kamala Harris' residence, most of them coming from Venezuela. Employees of humanitarian organizations immediately transported the arrivals to a local shelter. Three buses with illegal border crossers arrived in New York on Saturday morning from Texas. The deputy governor of the state stated in the Fox News television broadcast that an emergency situation has arisen at the southern border of the United States. He added that they want to signal this to the democratic leaders, and that is why they are sending more buses.
This week, for the first time, migrants arrived on the East Coast by plane, organized by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Fifty people came to Martha's Vineyard, an island in the state of Massachusetts near the northeast coast of the United States, which is a popular vacation spot for the Democratic elite: the property bought by former President Barack Obama for $12 million is also located there. The arrivals were transferred to the coast guard's base on land on Friday, citing limited supply options.
Governor DeSantis said at a press conference in Daytona Beach on Friday that "this is just the beginning" and that "every penny" of the $12 million allocated in Florida's budget for migrant resettlement will be used. Kamala Harris said in an interview Friday that DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott are dereliction of duty and playing a game with migrants.
The White House spokesman said on Friday that Republican governors treat migrants sent to Democratic-controlled cities as their "personal property." Karinne Jean-Pierre called the action a political spectacle whose sole purpose is to create chaos and division.
As vice president, Kamala Harris is tasked with ensuring border security and dealing with the root causes of illegal immigration in sending countries, mostly in Central American states. Regarding the situation on the southern borders, the vice president stated in a television interview last Sunday that the border between the United States and Mexico is secured.
The governor of Texas and the state leader of Arizona and most recently Florida have sent dozens of buses to New York, Washington and Chicago in recent weeks. According to the totals, the number of migrants who were sent from the southern border to the cities in the northeast, which accept themselves and call themselves places of refuge, has now exceeded 10,000. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has argued that his state is overstretched and that those in power in Washington and New York must face the reality of the border crisis.
According to a poll conducted this summer, the majority of Americans consider what is going on at the border an "invasion". According to a representative survey published by NPR/Ipsos in mid-August, 53 percent of the population said so, and 76 percent of Republican voters and 41 percent of Democratic voters, broken down by party affiliation.
Since last October, the number of registered illegal border crossings in the southern part of the United States border with Mexico has exceeded two million, and the vast majority of those arriving cannot be returned according to the current rules. According to the latest official data from the United States Customs and Border Protection, released in August, 1 million 946 thousand 780 illegal border crossings were registered between October last year and the end of July this year. The number of entries in less than 10 months thus exceeded the previous year's total of 1,734,686 border violations, which was also a historical record.
