In the midst of the cold wave that is sweeping the United States, and which has already caused more than 30 deaths, the Texas State Government he sent three bus full of migrants in Washington. One of them stopped in front of the official residence by the vice president Kamala Harris with more than a hundred people, including many children. This isn’t the first time Republican states have sent these buses as a method of protesting Joe Biden’s immigration policy.
The White House accused Texas Governor Greg Abbott of endanger the lives of migrants. “Governor Abbott abandoned children by the side of the road in sub-zero temperatures on Christmas Eve without coordinating with any federal or local authorities,” criticized a White House spokesman, Abdullah Hasan, according to CNN.
Biden, willing to work “with anyone” on immigration reform
The Biden administration spokesman indicated that the president is “willing to work with anyone, Republican or Democrat, on real solutions, such as the comprehensive immigration reform and border security measures.
“But these political games achieve nothing and only endanger lives,” he criticized, calling the measure “cruel, dangerous and shameful.”
Migrants from Ecuador, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Peru and Colombia
At least three buses with migrants – from Ecuador, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Peru and Colombia – arrived at the vice president’s residence on Saturday. In September, Abbott also sent two busloads of migrants to the Harris residence.
Additionally, other Republican governors have moved migrants to Democrat-run cities across the country in recent months.
