In early December, Texas sent a bus carrying about 30 Nicaraguan migrants to Washington DC, dropping the illegal aliens off outside Vice President and Border Czar Kamala Harris’ residence.
In September, several more buses dropped another 100 migrants outside the VP’s residence.
Democrats are once again furious at Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
This time they are upset at the conservative Republicans’ late-night drop off of over 100 migrants in freezing temperatures in Washington, D.C., on Christmas Eve.
Three buses carrying migrants from Texas arrived in Washington, D.C., late Saturday evening, including one which dropped its passengers near the home of Vice President Kamala Harris.
The migrants were then helped by the Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network and taken to a local church, according to 7News reporter, Christian Flores.

Local organizers had expected the buses to arrive on Sunday but found out Saturday that the group would get to Washington a day early, according to the Associated Press. The people on board included young children.
The White House called it a “shameful stunt.”
“Governor Abbott abandoned children on the side of the road in below-freezing temperatures on Christmas Eve without coordinating with any Federal or local authorities. This was a cruel, dangerous, and shameful stunt,” said White House spokesperson Abdullah Hasan in a statement.
“As we have repeatedly said, we are willing to work with anyone – Republican or Democrat alike – on real solutions, like the comprehensive immigration reform and border security measures President Biden sent to Congress on his first day in office, but these political games accomplish nothing and only put lives in danger,” he added.
In a letter Abbott sent to President Biden on Tuesday, the Texas governor blasted the Biden administration and told them that the freezing temperatures in cities like El Paso led him to transport the migrants as DHS housing facilities were already at capacity forcing them to release people outside onto the streets.
“Your policies will leave many people in the bitter, dangerous cold as a polar vortex moves into Texas,” Abbott wrote. “Texas has borne a lopsided burden caused by your open border policies.”
The Republican also called the current border crisis a “catastrophe” for which Biden was solely responsible.
“This terrible crisis for border communities in Texas is a catastrophe of your own making,” he wrote. “The need to address this crisis is not the job of border states like Texas. Instead, the U.S. Constitution dictates that it is your job, Mr. President, to defend the borders of our country, regulate our nation’s immigration, and manage those who seek refuge here,” he added.
