Kamala Harris’ Husband Slams ‘Shameful’ Busing of Migrants in Washington Residence: ‘These Are Human Beings’

Vice President Kamala Harris has continued to remain silent about the arrival of two buses from Texas carrying migrants near her Naval Observatory residence in Washington, D.C. on Thursday. In contrast to her husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, who had shared his thoughts about it.

Kamala Harris appeared with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in front of the press Friday. A White House Press release said Harris hosted a breakfast for Ramaphosa at the Naval Observatory to discuss and strengthen the ties between the U.S. and South Africa.

As the vice president thanked the press with Ramaphosa, a reporter shouted a question about her thoughts on the two busloads of migrants sent by that Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

Harris ignored it and immediately went inside with the South African president without taking questions. Fox News reported that the vice president similarly refused to comment on the migrant buses after delivering remarks in the White House on Thursday.

In the United We Stand Summit hosted in the White House, Harris also immediately walked out of the East Room following her speech. She continued to walk without answering the reporter who asked for her comment on the arrival of migrants near her D.C. home.

Kamala Harris Ignoring The Immigration Problem?

In an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" last Sunday, Kamala Harris claimed that the border was "secure" despite the thousands of illegal immigrants crossing the border from Mexico to the U.S.

"We have a secure border in that that is a priority for any nation, including ours and our administration. But there are still a lot of problems that we are trying to fix given the deterioration that happened over the last four years," Harris noted.

Republicans have criticized President Joe Biden and the Democrats for their welcoming policies on migrants. Greg Abbott had already sent dozens of buses filled with migrants to Washington, D.C., New York City, and Chicago in recent weeks.

Abbott has devised the multimillion Texas migrant busing program to solve the state's border crossing problem. It is reportedly the Republican governor's way of going against Biden's immigration policies.

The program, which Abbott refers to as "Operation Lone Star," was said to have provided the state the "much-needed relief" to their overwhelmed border communities.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis followed Abbott's plan as he sent two planes full of migrants to Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts on Wednesday.

The Republican governor said it was part of the state's relocation program to transport illegal immigrants to "sanctuary destinations" that support the Biden administration's open border policies.

Kamala Harris' Husband Douglas Emhoff Reacts to Greg Abbott's Busing Program

Kamala Harris' husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, did not hold back his thoughts about the issue. He reacted on Friday to the "shameful" shipment of migrants in buses near their D.C. residence.

After taking a COVID-19 booster shot, the press asked the second gentleman about his thoughts on the surprising arrival of almost 100 immigrants near their residence.

Emhoff then said: "These are human beings... These are people. They needed to be treated with dignity, with kindness and respect, and they weren't. And we have so-called leaders in this country who rather than focusing on what's good for the public within their own states, they're using people as pawns for a political stunt."
