According to foreign media reports, on December 21, two people of unknown nationality tried to immigrate to the United States, but unfortunately drowned while swimming across the Rio Grande on the U.S.-Mexico border
Yet, in front of and behind them, migrants from different countries who did not know each other stretched into a column with no end in sight, thousands in sight, passing through the waters in which they had drowned, and continuing to swim throughTheir common destination: the United States.
The Rio Grande, located in Tamaulipas, Mexico, is a boundary river between the border between the United States and Mexico, known as the "Brave River" by the locals, because the water looks calm, in fact, the undercurrent is submerged, but because after swimming across the Grande River, the opposite bank is the border town of Texas in the United States, Eagle Pass, which is one of the most convenient passages to forcibly enter the United States without permission
Therefore, if the travelers from various countries want to realize their dream of immigrating to the United States, swimming through this dangerous "brave river" has become the best plan.
Almost every day, countless people from many countries with dreams flock here to simplify their packing, stuff as few necessities as possible into waterproof bags, put them on their heads, and follow the route of those who have successfully swam to the other side, swimming towards the ideal place.
Previous attempts have explored several relatively safe waterwaysAlthough accidents are still unavoidable, drowning dreams and tragedies occur from time to time
But this journey of migration is full of dreamers every day.
I saw a ** before, and found that among those dreamers, there was a middle-aged female compatriot of ours.
According to a report from the U.S. Border Police authorities, in the two months at the end of 2023, tens of thousands of immigrants from various countries poured into the U.S.-Mexico border every dayAbout 10,000 people successfully enter the U.S. every day.
Look ahead,In September alone, as many as 200,000 immigrants entered the United States illegally.
Comprehensive new media and US media news, reliable data show that in recent years, the number of Chinese who have immigrated to the United States through illegal channels such as "Brave River" has shown explosive growth:
In 2021, there were 323 Chinese immigrants;
In 2022, there will be 1,970 Chinese immigrants;
In the middle of the 2023 financial year (ending September 2023).Just beenU.S. Customs and BordersauthoritiesInterceptiondowncountryThe number of people, it has been reachedTen thousandPerson.
In fact, the problem of illegal immigration in the United States did not start in recent years, but lasted for several years, even in the mask period, the United States issued a "Article 42" restriction, that is, to allow law enforcement officers to illegally cross the border, rapid deportation, can not stop the direction of immigrants from all countries, in 2022, in New York City alone, more than 150,000 illegal immigrants will be taken care of, provide them with housing, Food and other living conditions, so overwhelmed that the New York City government had to advise immigrants to live in other cities and find a chance to survive.
On May 11, 2023, after the United States terminated the "new crown public health emergency" and lifted the "Title 42" restrictions, the U.S.-Mexico border suddenly set off an unprecedented wave of immigrants, with more than 10,000 migrants entering the U.S. border every day.
According to data provided by the Republican Party of the United States, since the Democratic BidenSince entering the White House in January 2021, 8 million immigrants have entered the United States illegally, and 5.8 million have been subjected.
2023 is about to turn the page, the tide of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border is still boiling hot, bringing potential threats to border security, and Mexico's **López López was forced to say that Mexico will increase its efforts to curb this wave of migrants;
In the United States, the state of Texas has allowed state police to arrest and deport illegal immigrants, and those who refuse to obey the order can be sentenced to prison terms ranging from 180 days to 20 years
Opposition Republicans accuse Biden of doing nothing to stop illegal immigration, taking the opportunity to force the Democrats to drastically reform immigration policy
On December 27, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken led a high-level delegation to Mexico to discuss cooperation between the two countries on border migration.
It remains to be seen whether the flow of migration can be effectively curbed thereafter.
