(New York Post) Dozens of migrants were bused from Texas to DC and deposited on the doorstep of border czar and Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday morning.
The newcomers, who said they came from Nicaragua, were filmed getting off the bus, some wrapped in blankets against the morning chill, carrying their belongings outside the Naval Observatory shortly before 7 a.m.
NBC News’ Gary Grumbach tweeted that the new arrivals — among them young children — were immediately met by volunteers from the humanitarian organization SAMU First Response who assessed their needs and found out their travel plans, before loading them into vans headed for the organization’s headquarters.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has shipped more than 8,400 migrants to DC alone since April.
An additional 5,000 men, women and children have been sent to New York City and Chicago to protest the Biden administration’s perceived failure to tackle the border crisis and curb the influx of migrants into the country.
