In reply to the discussion: More migrants dropped outside vice president's home in freezing weather on Christmas Eve [View all]Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin
(135,357 posts)76. White House condemns Texas governor after migrants were dropped off outside Kamala Harris' house:
'Abbott abandoned children on the side of the road in below freezing temperatures'
The White House condemned Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas after busloads of migrants were reportedly dropped off outside Vice President Kamala Harris' residence in Washington, DC, on one of the coldest Christmas Eves on record in the nation's capital.
"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," a White House representative, Abdullah Hasan, said in a statement. "This was a cruel, dangerous, and shameful stunt."
Democrats have blamed the situation on Abbott, who since April has bused migrants from Texas to major Democratic-led cities including Washington, New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia to protest the Biden administration's immigration policies.
"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," Hasan added, "but these political games accomplish nothing and only put lives in danger."

How is this not human trafficking? How has the entire GOP not been brought up on RICO charges?
