Two buses of migrants were sent near Vice President Kamala Harrisā Washington, D.C., residence.
Fox News reported that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) sent between 75 and 100 migrants on buses to the nationās capital.
The group of migrants reportedly included people from Venezuela, Uruguay, Colombia and Mexico.
Fox Newsā Griff Jenkins asked one of the women getting off of the bus if Harris says the border is closed.
āShe says itās open,ā Jenkins reported.

The report comes just one day after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) took credit for sending planes full of migrants to Marthaās Vineyard in Massachusetts.
āFlorida can confirm the two planes with illegal immigrants that arrived in Marthaās Vineyard today were part of the stateās relocation program to transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations,ā DeSantisā office said in a statement obtained by CNN.
The statement continues, āStates like Massachusetts, New York, and California will better facilitate the care of these individuals who they have invited into our country by incentivizing illegal Immigration through their designation as āsanctuary statesā and support for the Biden Administrationās open border policies.ā
CNN noted roughly 50 migrants arrived on Marthaās Vineyard Wednesday.
Massachusetts state Sen. Julian Cyr, a Democrat, told CNN there was āno advancenotice to anyone in Marthaās Vineyard or Massachusetts that these migrants were arriving to my knowledge.ā
He continued, āThe island scrambled to respond. They essentially set up shelters, the equivalent of a hurricane or Norāeaster. They set that up in a matter of hours and these families received a meal. They were Covid tested and are spending the night in shelters at several churches on the island.ā
Harris recently received criticism for her claim that the border is āsecure,ā as IJR reported.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said during an interview with Fox News that Harris is ādead wrong on that.ā
The vice president made the claim while speaking with host of NBCās āMeet the Pressā Chuck Todd.
