Kamala’s “smooth” border crisis disrupted by migrant bus at her home.

Vice President Harris Says Border Situation is “Going Rather Smoothly”

Vice President Kamala Harris recently made remarks at a Democratic fundraiser in the Atlanta suburbs, stating that the situation at the border was “going rather smoothly.” However, just two days later, a busload of illegal migrants reportedly sent from Texas by Gov. Greg Abbott disembarked outside her D.C. home.

Buses of Migrants Dispatched to Cities as Border Crisis Continues

Buses of migrants have been dispatched to cities like D.C. and New York City as the border crisis continues. Since Title 42 expired on Thursday, thousands of migrants have crossed the border, and the Biden administration has been releasing them into the country.

• Abbott began sending migrants to D.C. in 2022 and has often chosen the Naval Observatory grounds, which hosts the vice president’s home, as the destination.
• “There will be more coming,” Abbott said Thursday in regard to the buses of migrants. “There will be more going to New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and other places across the country.”

Harris did not discuss immigration in her prepared remarks on Friday, only addressing the issue when asked about a statement by Georgia Republicans slamming her for attending the fundraiser instead of dealing with the border. Harris’s answer that the issue is Congress’s problem is similar to a response given by Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas last week.

Immigration Reform Needed

“There’s a very important message, not to communicate only to Sen. Sinema but to all senators and all members of the House of Representatives: We need immigration reform,” Mayorkas said. “The president passed to Congress a proposal to fix our broken immigration system on the first day in office.”

It is clear that the issue of immigration is a complex one that requires a comprehensive solution. As the situation at the border continues to evolve, it is important for leaders to work together to find a way forward.
