According to Global Network citing CNN, a new round of game has begun in the United States recently over the issue of illegal immigration. On September 15, local time in the United States, Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida said they had provided two chartered flights to illegal immigrants entering the United States from the southern border to transport them to Martha's Vineyard Island near the coast of Massachusetts.
September 15, DeSantis also condemned the Biden administration for being indifferent to ensuring the security of the U.S. border with Mexico. He said: "If these illegal immigrants tend to think that Florida is a good place, I want to tell them that we are not a sheltered state."
Martha's Vineyard Island is often referred to as "Vineyard Island", and is an island off the coast of Massachusetts, the United States, and a place where celebrities such as Hollywood, artists, financiers, and politicians gather. Obama The mansion purchased here for $11.75 million is often brought to live with the whole family in the summer. Clinton and Hillary 's daughter chooses to get married here.
Republican directly sent illegal immigrants to blue states controlled by the Democratic Party. Harris 's official residence is one of the destinations
In response to DeSantis' move, on the evening of September 15, Biden himself said at a dinner party of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus: "Republicans are playing politics with humans and treating them as props. What they do is completely wrong and reckless."
It is worth noting that the Republicans' actions are not just about transporting illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard Island. On the morning of September 15, two immigration buses got off near the home of Vice President Kamala Harris outside the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington. Texas Governor Abbott posted on social media that he used two buses to send more than 100 undocumented immigrants to the official residence of Vice President He Jinli.
At the same time, Abbott also said on social media that day, "Since the vice president claims that our border is 'safe' and denies there is a crisis. Then we will send the immigrants to her backyard."
This is really interesting. Harris is the head of immigration in the Biden administration. Harris said not long ago that the U.S. border is safe, so he will directly dump the immigration for Harris and let her see how safe the border is to open.
It is reported that these more than 100 undocumented immigrants come from Venezuela , Uruguay , Colombia and Mexico, of which 70 to 80% come from Venezuela. According to CNN, a large group of immigrants carried pillows and bags, and others were wearing blankets, wandering around and chatting outside the gate of Harris' home. As the number of illegal immigration crises at the US border continues to increase, such "people throwing" actions occur from time to time. In the past four months, Texas and Arizona used 200 buses to "dump" more than 4,000 illegal immigrants to the capital Washington.
Abbott has started using buses to transport immigrants to Washington, DC, New York and Chicago . Since then, the governor of Arizona and the governor of Florida have also joined the ranks. As Republicans send more and more illegal immigrants, in order to cope with the surge in immigrants, the mayor of Washington, DC declared a public health emergency on the 8th of this month.
As of last week, the Texas governor's office has used more than 190 buses to deliver more than 7,990 immigrants to Washington, DC, more than 40 buses to more than 2,200 immigrants to New York City, and more than 5 buses to deliver more than 300 immigrants to Chicago.
I have to say that this wave of operations by the Republican Party really made the Democratic Party very helpless. The Democrats have been publicly claiming that they welcome illegal immigrants. The Republicans' actions are as they wish. For these illegal immigrants, it doesn't matter where they go as long as they enter the United States. Moreover, these Republican governors are willing to pay out of their own pocket to transport them to the Blue State that welcomes illegal immigration. Why not do this? It can save a lot of transportation costs, and I guess even these illegal immigrants would not have expected such a beautiful thing.
The game between the Democratic and Republican parties on the issue of illegal immigration
For a long time, the Democratic and Republican parties have great differences on the issue of illegal immigration. This is mainly because the social foundations of the two are different. The Republican Party’s social support foundation is mainly those local white people, while the Democratic Party is very supportive and popular with other ethnic groups. Therefore, the Republican Party is very worried about the entry of a large number of mixed-race Latin American immigrants, which will change the current situation of the United States with white people as the main body, while the Democratic Party welcomes illegal immigrants very much, which can increase its votes and enhance its electoral advantages.
During the 1 Trump rule, the game between the Democratic and Republican parties around the management of the southern border reached a climax. At the end of 2018, Trump needed Congress to build a border wall in the south that could hinder illegal immigration, but was rejected by the Democrats who control the House. In front of the media, Trump had a wave of confrontations with Democrats such as Pelosi , Schumer, etc., but it ended in vain. Then, in order to ask Congress to allocate money to build a wall, Trump directly announced the government's closure. After a long period of swing, Trump simply declared the country to enter a "state of emergency" and allocated money to build a wall from the military spending of the Pentagon .
This experience left a deep impression on the American and even the world media. In fact, the Republican Party has its own other considerations in restricting the influx of illegal immigrants in the South, besides taking the vote into consideration. Most of the borders near the southern border are Republican red states. They are the basic base of the Republican Party. They are the first to be affected by the influx of a large number of illegal immigrants. Once illegal immigrants influx, the proportion of local ethnic groups will be affected to a certain extent, and local social security and job competition will have a certain impact, which puts huge pressure on local Republican governors.
So for the Democratic Party, the influx of illegal immigrants is not bad for them, and it can also equip political correctness and attract more voters of other ethnic groups in the United States. After Biden took office, he directly called for a stop to the US-Mexico border wall that Trump had been building, relaxing restrictions on illegal immigration. Harris, who was sent by Biden to manage southern border affairs, seemed even more absent-minded. It is precisely because of this that Harris was strongly criticized by the Republican Party.
I have to say that this time the Republicans' operations are probably going to make the Democratic Party very painful: Don't you welcome very immigrants? Then I'll send them to you directly. As early as November last year, Ron DeSantis challenged Biden, saying that if Biden does not ensure border security, he will start using buses to deliver illegal immigrants to Biden's hometown.
Judging from the current situation, he is not bluffing. If the scale of illegal immigrants in the south continues to grow, it is estimated that these illegal immigrants will be sent to Delaware .
