"It really creeped me out," the woman, who did not want to be identified, told NBC10.

"That's when I realized it was an obvious attempt to try to either scare me or rage bait me and make me upset," the woman explained. "It's really sad that the country has come to this point where you can't put a lawn sign out and support a candidate without being harassed with something like this."

"It makes me angry," the woman, who also did not want to be identified, told NBC10. "But if the takeaway is 'Don't put up a lawn sign in support of a political candidate,' I feel the exact opposite. Next time there's an election, I'll put up three signs in my yard."

The resident added that she reached out to the Shrewsbury Democratic Town Committee, which told her to file a police report. She was also advised to report it to the post office in case any federal mail laws may have been broken, NBC10 reported. 

A third resident in the Shrewsbury community posted her postcard on Reddit, which matched similar wording from the other residents.

"Thank you for supporting Kamala! We are so appreciative of you putting out a yard sign. But now we need your continued help," the postcard reads.

The postcard is addressed to "Resident" with a Kamala Harris logo posted on the front of the postcard.

"We will be moving a family of 4 from the country of Belize into your home on 11-3-2024. They will need food, toiletries, and transportation. Thank you!" the card reads.

It is not clear where the postcards came from as there was no political organization or return address listed. 

Democratic and Republican voters have expressed to Fox News that they believed that border security is a big issue this election cycle.

"Over the next year, we expect some individuals with terrorism ties and some criminal actors will continue their efforts to exploit migration flows and the complex border security environment to enter the United States," the DHS assessment stated in October.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign, Shrewsbury Police, and Shrewsbury Democratic Town Committee but did not immediately receive a response.
