On May 11, local time, the "Article 42" (hereinafter referred to as "Article 42") issued by the Trump administration during the period of Trump, Authorize law enforcement officers to quickly expel illegal immigrants in the border.In recent days, the number of immigrants crossing the border is almost twice as usual, reaching the highest level in history, and many border cities in the United States have entered an emergency.Obviously, today's United States is among the dual crisis of the federal government debt crisis and the upper limit of immigration tolerance capacity.
There is no doubt that the United States is an immigration country, but the discussion of immigration issues has long been reduced to a tool for the United States.The current President of the United States, Biden, has made a reform commitment to the immigration policy during the 2020 election, but from today, this has become a "empty talk".In March 2022, the Bayeng government originally planned to cancel the "Article 42", but was prevented by a judge in Louisiana, USA.At the end of 2022, the Federal Supreme Court approved an emergency request made from 19 Republican Prosecutors, and ruled that the "Article 42" was temporarily retained.It can be seen that after Biden took office, although the border wall construction project was stopped, its immigration policy was still the continuation of the Trump period. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as being forced to swing repeatedly.Make immigration problems present several outstanding features.
One of them, immigration has been accelerating the deterioration and far -reaching impacts in recent years.In fiscal 2022, more than 2.76 million unbroken immigrants were detained at the US -Mexico border, an increase of 37%over 2021, a record high.The influx of illegal immigrants made border states such as Texas, Florida and other border states overwhelmed, but Democrats believed that the influx of large numbers of immigrants had certain benefits and therefore adhered to an open immigration policy.Against this background, the population structure of Texas is continuously changing, leading to politics that it will soon become the largest "Red State" in the United States to "Blue State".
Second, the trend of the disputes and cracks of the two parties on the issue of immigration have not been met, and even led to the emergence of new domestic immigrants in the United States.Some Republican governors have expressed dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party and the Bayeng government many times, arguing that the opening of the Bayeng government's open immigration policy has led to the border immigration crisis.They have successively used bus and aircraft transportation to transfer the illegal immigrants and refugees in the state to the northern regions such as Columbia, New York, and other regions such as the Democratic Party.
Third, there is a huge gap between the refugees and the actual resettlement. The horny of the domestic politics polarization in the United States has exacerbated the emergence of illegal immigration.In fiscal 2022, the Bayeng government will increase the refugee quota to 125,000, but the actual number of people will be only about 26,000.The gap between the plan and the actual execution allows the refugees waiting to enter the country to form a huge psychological gap and increase the instability of the border.
The termination of "Article 42" and the US election in 2024 are approaching, and immigrants will inevitably become a "political victim" for the two parties.On May 11, the Republican House controlled by the House of Republican Party voted for the 2023 Protection Border Act and proposed to restart the construction of the border wall and add new restrictions to the seekers of the shelters, but it is likely to be "folded" in the Senate -controlled Senate controlled by the Democratic Party.Overall, a new round of illegal immigration tide is detonating the fierce attacks of the United States.The 2023 Protection Border Act that has been passed in the House of Representatives has become a new "starting point" of the two parties around the reform of immigration policy.The excessive status quo may continue.
The crux of American immigration issues is how to balance humanitarianism, public health issues, and national interests, as well as how the United States cooperates with Mexico and other Chinese and American countries to control the wave of immigration.As for the solution, the U.S. government and the society may need to conduct wider conversations and negotiations in all aspects of the society, and formulate the rule of law, justice and sustainable immigration policy.But now, the two parties in the United States not only selectively disregard minors immigrants who died in the shelter, but also deliberately ignored the elimination of illegal immigrants: It is because the United States has long interference and stirring the situation in Latin America for a long time, where poverty is planted there.The "root" of violence has the "evil fruit" of the illegal immigration chaos today.
