A bus carrying 46 immigrants from Texas arrived Monday at the Naval Observatory in Washington, the location of Vice President Kamala Harris' residence.
This is the third shipment of illegals to Harris' residence as part of a campaign launched by Texas Governor Greg Abbott to "ease the burden" faced by border states. Abbott is one of three Republican governors - along with Doug Ducey (Arizona) and Ron DeSantis (Florida) - moving immigrants to northern states and so-called sanctuary cities to protest the Biden Administration's inaction on immigration.
NEW this morning, another bus of about 50 migrants - men, women and children who told me they were from Venezuela - arrived outside of the Vice President's residence in Washington DC. They were then sorted into groups based on needs, by volunteers who met the bus. @NBCNews pic.twitter.com/ichua2PhYP

Nearly 12,000 migrants bound for 'sanctuary cities'.
Last month, Abbott sent two busloads of a hundred illegals to the gates of Kamala Harris' residence. He did so after the vice president assured on a television program that the southern border was "secure."
Greg Abbott noted that Texas has already sent more than 11,900 immigrants to sanctuary cities in Washington D.C., New York and Chicago and warns that this number will increase with the intention of "helping our overrun and overwhelmed border communities."
As of today, Texas has bused over 11,900 migrants to sanctuary cities:
➡️ Over 8,200 to D.C.
➡️ Over 2,900 to NYC.
➡️ Over 870 to Chicago.Texas will continue busing migrants to help our overrun & overwhelmed border communities. #OperationLoneStar
