Humanitarian crisis at U.S. southern border

Southern states along America’s border inundated with influx of illegal migrants and declare, ‘humanitarian crisis’

Since Vice President Kamala Harris won’t visit the border—Texas Gov. Gregg Abbot brought the border to her.

On Thursday morning, two busses carrying dozens of migrants arrived near the vice president’s residence in Washington, D.C.

Many journalists and media outlets followed the busses and caught up with some of the migrants.

One man who entered illegally said about America’s southern border, “it’s open not closed. The border is open. Everybody [illegal migrants] believe that it’s open. It’s open because we enter, we come in free.”

Gov. Abbot, a Republican has been busing migrants to “sanctuary cities” like New York, Chicago and Washington D.C. in an effort to lighten the load that border-towns have been dealing with—calling the influx a true modern-day humanitarian crisis.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has also joined the Texas governor. He chartered two flights and sent migrants to Martha’s Vineyard on Wednesday afternoon.

Gov. DeSantis said, “we are not a sanctuary state and it’s better to be able to go to the sanctuary jurisdiction—and yes, we will help facilitate that transport for you to be able to go to greener pastures.”

Gov. DeSantis went on to say, “all those people in D.C. and New York were beating their chest when Trump was president saying they were so proud to be sanctuary jurisdiction saying how bad it was to have a secure border.”

He added, “the minute even a small fraction of what those border towns deal with every day is brought to their front door—they all of a sudden go berserk and they’re so upset that this is happening, and it just shows you, you know, they’re virtue signaling is a fraud.”

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre weighed in on the tense situation saying, “they [illegal migrants] deserve better than being left on the streets of D.C. or being left in Martha’s Vineyard they deserve a lot better than that.”

Many non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) are aiding in providing shelter, food and additional resources for the migrants.

Foreign ministers from both Greenland and Denmark acknowledged that major disagreements remain following discussions with US officials, despite what they described as constructive engagement on shared priorities.

Greenland’s government made clear it is open to closer cooperation with Washington, but only on its own terms, rejecting any suggestion of ownership or control.
