According to reports, White House Press Secretary Jean Pierre said at a press conference on the 15th local time that "someone plans to keep immigrants, including children, on the busy streets of Washington, DC. Fox News received this 'aler', and the Homeland Security Bureau, the city government and the local non-governmental organization do not know it. This fact clearly shows that this is a cruel and premeditated political gimmick."
CNN said that Jean Pierre also accused the two Republican governors of treating immigrants as "political pawns" and said their behavior was "shameful, reckless, and very wrong."
According to Fox News and other media reports, Florida Republican Governor DeSantis "fulfils his promise" on Wednesday (14th) local time. As part of his resettlement plan for "transporting illegal immigrants to shelter", he arranged two planes to fly from the state to Martha's Vineyard Island in Massachusetts, and "turned these illegal immigrants to other progressive states." Texas The bus that the governor brought immigration to Washington drove directly to Harris's vice president's residence at the Naval Observatory on the 15th local time. According to the New York Post , about 100 immigrants were sent from Texas to the door of the vice president's residence by bus. Most of them were Venezuelan . The live video shows a large group of immigrants carrying pillows and bags, and others wearing blankets, wandering around and chatting outside the gate of Harris' home. One immigrant also said in an interview that “it is open, not closed.”
As the crisis of illegal immigration at the US border continues, such "carrying people" actions are frequently staged in the United States. According to Xinhua News Agency in August, in the past four months, Texas and Arizona have successively used nearly 200 buses to "dump" more than 4,000 illegal immigrants to the capital Washington. The Washington city government had to send a letter to the federal government, demanding the dispatch of National Guard to deal with the "humanitarian crisis." Such a farce still exposes the ugly situation of fierce competition between the Republican and Democratic parties, reflecting the American governance chaos.
