TX Gov. Abbott Sends Two Buses of Illegal Immigrants to Kamala Harris’s Naval Observatory Residence
One person told Fox News: “The border is open…it’s open because we enter, we come in, free — no problem.”
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sent two buses filled with 75 to 100 illegal immigrants to Vice President Kamala Harris’s Naval Observatory residence in Washington, DC, a sanctuary city.

They come from Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
Two days ago, Harris told Chuck Todd the border is secure. You could tell Todd did not buy Harris’s blatant BS.
“Multiple” illegal immigrants told Fox News Digital, “they think the border is open.”

When asked how he has been treated, he said “perfecto” — then he added that he’s been treated with dignity and respect since getting to the US, “much better than any other country I’ve passed through”

The group is heading to a local church to be fed and connected to resources to help them get to their final destinations.
The volunteers here to help said they were at Union Station waiting for the buses since 6 am, and didn’t know the Naval Observatory was the drop off. pic.twitter.com/MmnRWxe1CU

Abbott has sent many illegal immigrants to DC, New York City, and Chicago. All of them claim to be sanctuary cities.
Now they’re all complaining about the influx of immigrants.
Abbott said it’s not a game. He wants Democrats to “face the realities of the border crisis.”
It might seem like many people, but it is nothing compared to what the small border towns see daily.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent two planes with illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, a liberal haven in Massachusetts.

Meanwhile Biden is sending illegals to Greensboro NC, were they are free to move around (several interstates and bus lines are in the area).
Send a couple bus loads to Mitch McConnels House.
Send a couple full bus loads to Mitch McConnels House.
Illegals are everywhere here and its like living in Mexico. The bigger problem is not the illegals working in the tobacco and sweet potato fields, its them eiring all that cash they earn out of country

I love it
It’s a brilliant strategy, IMO. It generates PR, positive and negative; it doesn’t really matter because the media is reporting and folks are viewing illegal immigrants somewhere other than TX, AZ, NM. Chickens coming home to roost is too good a story to pass up.
Those images very effectively refute the laughable claims made by the Biden Admin that the border is secure. In addition it has begun to set the blue enclaves fretting about how to live up to their professed virtue; ‘we are better than you racist rubes because we say we are’.
Now that these blue enclaves are being unwillingly put in a position to deliver on their promises of a welcoming sanctuary, that utopian ideal is proving illusory. Suddenly these blue enclaves are demanding Federal assistance for communities burdened with illegal immigrants. When their plea is rejected they load these folks up and ship them somewhere else.
All in all this strategy has heightened awareness Nationally, adds blue big city Mayors to the long list of border communities asking for help, reveals the hypocrisy of the blue enclaves as they won’t live up to their virtue signals and undercuts the Biden WH message that all is well. Relatively cheap but very effective guerilla marketing.
Silver lining noted:
“It generates PR, positive and negative; it doesn’t really matter because the media is reporting and folks are viewing illegal immigrants somewhere other than TX, AZ, NM.”
What Abbott is doing in more than just “marketing”. Transportation elsewhere is possibly two orders of magnitude cheaper for TX taxpayers than taking care of them there. Arguably, he should have done this in 2021.
Biden and Harris were the best the Democrat bigwigs could come up with.
And they are being treated “perfect”
Imagine YOU going to another Country amd being fed, free transportation, free living quarters, free education, free phones
Yeah, I’m sure they love them
Some Biden
I’m pretty sick about this
100? Send thousands, thousands!!!
The point is that it counters the BS narrative of the DC mayor and others that these poor people are being “tricked” into going to a Sanctuary city or state.
Tricked? What, an overcrowded El Paso or a fed bus to some random city is better?
They absolutely should go to “sanctuary cities.” They asked for it, now they got it. Good and hard.
Make them live up to their own virtue signaling.
And who better to send them to than the “Border Czar???” Tell the illegals that all their freebies are in the observatory, and they just have to go get them.
One thing that is often overlooked is the enormous strain that millions more people are putting on our already overstretched health care system.
When you look at pictures of migrants coming across, many are women with babies, pregnant women and lots of gray-haired older adults—all of whom will soon require health care.
If we need more workers, we should give visas to working people who are qualified to work—-not families, criminals, drug dealer and who knows what else. Refugees seeking asylym should stay in the first free country they come to.
Probably so, but people from Venezuela may have a similar impact to some of these blue areas as the Cuban refugees did in South Florida offsetting the NY migrants. My cousins spent their early years in Venezuela when it was a prosperous and vibrant country. The people that were their friends and school mates have seen their beautiful country turned into a hellhole by the socialist tyrants who took it over.
Interestingly they also have experienced voting fraud and force used to impose the leftist censorship, confiscation of property and businesses and all the other tools that the left uses to impose their domination.
I recall that when the opposition parties protested that the leftists had rigged the election and it was a fraud that Jimmy Carter and his Democrat buddies went to Venezuela and declared that the new dictatorship was elected in a Free and Fair election (or words to that effect).
Kinda like Californica.
This has been true for years. I went through a bit where I was in an emergency room, in the evenings, several days a month. The waiting room was always packed with people who didn’t speak english. The ER Doc told me that he spends most of his shift providing primary care to “non-citizens” – they come because they were told by Catholic Charities and other NGOs that the hospitals have to provide services if you show up, and you don’t have to pay. Just visit a medium to large city hospital ER in the evening to see it for yourself.
The proof is in the people bused. Q.E.D..
Following the Democrat’s guide to service. Deplorable.
I wonder what would happen if they got dropped off at Capitol Hill with free MAGA hats…..
DeSantis and Abbott are making a more important, generalized point about progressive hypocrisy.
Remember how certain progressive churches, in the 1980s, proclaimed themselves to be “nuclear-free zones”? It was cheap theater and virtue signaling because of course the military wasn’t going to install a missile silo in the vestibule.
Likewise, “sanctuary city” started off as cheap virtue signaling. Chicago, New York, and DC had illegals, of course, but it was a problem well beneath the radar of ordinary people there. So the mayors and city council-critters could piously talk about how good they were.
Except now it has a cost. Of course Chicago can handle a busload of illegals; it already does on a daily basis: many of the folks crossing into Texas, NM, and Cali move on, and Chicago is one destination. But they were quiet about it, as illegals are, and so the public didn’t notice.
Now they notice, and that’s why Lori Lightfoot and the other mayors are protesting. Now the public notices, and the public doesn’t like it, and there’s a political cost to be paid. The actual cost to the city to handle a busload of illegals is a pittance. But the political cost, with election year coming up for Da Mayor, is much more.
And that’s why the mayors are protesting. Their hypocrisy has been called out publicly, and like most politicians, they don’t like that.
Don’t discount a cascade effect from some of these blue enclaves giving in to homeless advocates. The arrival of a few thousand illegal immigrants in some locations really is entirely capable of creating a tipping point.
Not to mention the delicious irony as these ‘diversity is our strength’ adherents struggle to explain to their existing constituencies why they need to expend scarce resources on illegal immigrants from Venezuela or Guatemala who arrived last night v native born PoC. That’s why some are in turn shipping these folks to the suburbs.
I really think they should apologize before sending migrants to those s***holes. Nobody coming here intended to come there.
Who knows? Look at the tweets above interviewing illegals. One says, “New York is the final destination.” Maybe this guy always intended to go to New York. Or maybe that’s just where the bus driver intends to go. But it’s within the realm of possibility — the Cuban refugee I interviewed last weekend, his father’s goal was always New York all the while they were escaping Cuba.
No doubt “Heels Up” was out on the lawn with a sign saying ‘mi casa es su casa’.
Maybe if VP Harris walked out her front door and actually talked to the migrants she could discover the “cause” of the border crisis.
Naw, too easy.
She would have to get off her back to do that
She and the other loony lefties already know the cause of the border crisis, and the cause of every other problem that is plaguing everyone on Earth. His name is Donald Trump.
Notice how Dand I isn’t our strength when it lands on the left.
The Boston Taco Party!!
I want to know why Sanctuary States and Cities are not reimbursing Abbott and DeSantis.
If Diversity is your Strength, wouldn’t you want to be Stronger 💪?
Why doesn’t the Biden Administration want to be Stronger 💪. Surely they should add 10-15% undocumented immigrants to the White House Staff. They are weaker for not availing themselves of this Strength. /Sarcasm
They should add them to the cabinet and the senior staff for the same reason.
But then they’d have to kick out some of the deviants that are already there.
Intersectionality Wars!
In many cases, it would be a step up.
Heals Up Harris on Sunday: “the border is secure”
DeSantis: ” yeah? Here’s some”
PWND
Funny how these Dems in Sanctuary cities are so self righteous when there is no cost but now are squalling like scalded cats when cameras are around. Fine and dandy in the desert of Texas, not so much in Dem strongholds. You want them, here they are and you pay for them
Perfect.
