The United States has always claimed to be the "melting pot" of immigration. No matter the color and race, no matter the high or low, you can make your first pot of gold here and realize the "American Dream". In the movie "Home Mexican Days ", when Hispanic immigrants suddenly disappear and cause the city to become paralyzed, Americans miss the hard-working and silent immigrants, and long for them to come back as soon as possible.
Is the United States really such a beautiful and harmonious immigration paradise? Mark Twain tells us, "Reality is far more ridiculous than fabrication."
Recently, anti-immigrant Republican political star and Florida Governor DeSantis rented two planes and "transfer" about 50 refugee immigrants from Latin America to the wealthy area near Boston , and threatened to give it to President Biden hometown Delaware next time.
, also a Republican, Governor Abbott sent more than 100 Latin American migrants to Vice President Harris 's official residence in Washington. The crisis of reluctance to immigration in the United States that is constantly fermenting is turning into a bizarre and absurd American drama.
Act 1: The farce of political parties fighting
For decades, the issue of difficult immigration has always been a major focus of the struggle between the Democratic and Republican parties. In recent years, as the proportion of white people in the United States has decreased, the majority status has been continuously weakened and the contradictions have become more intense.
Trump When he was in power, he did not hide his Republican's hostile attitude towards immigration, and successively threw out border wall construction, ban on Muslim , and "immigration repatriation order", publicly insulted Latin American countries as "defer pit countries", and taught female congressmen who opposed the wall construction to "go back to their hometown" and threatened to send difficult immigrants to "blue states" controlled by the Democratic Party.
DeSantis and Abbott have taken over Trump's "mann" and have sent more than 10,000 Latin American migrants to Democratic territories such as Washington, New York, and Chicago. In May this year, the Republican-controlled Supreme Court also "stopped" Biden's decision to cancel Trump's "immigration deportation order", causing an uproar.
The Democratic Party looks like a "Holy Mother" on immigration issues, holding high the banner of "inclusiveism", but in fact it is the first to both ends. Biden was ambitious to launch the "new immigration policy", but in the face of the surge in border immigration and domestic opposition, he was forced to resume Trump's "stay in Mexico " policy at the end of last year, causing a large number of immigrants to return to Latin America.
Ironically, when the Republican Party "expressed" the difficult immigrants to the doorsteps of Democrats, the Democratic Party who talked about "embracing immigrants" all day long exposed the true face of "Ye Gong Haolong", and avoided it, accusing the Republican Party of "shaming" and "disgusting" and was engaged in "human trafficking". This farce in
completely exposed the hypocrisy of American politicians. No matter which party, there is no moral bottom line or professional ethics. They only care about their own votes and political futures, not the fate of difficult immigration. As the November mid-select is approaching, life-like lives have become their eye-catching gimmicks, bargaining chips to boost election sentiment and a tool for political struggle.
Act 2: Tragedy of human rights
The United States acts as a "human rights teacher" everywhere, and claims to be "freedom and dream", but its behavior is completely different. The United States regards Latin America as its "backyard", interferes in the internal affairs of the region, constantly creates chaos, and leaves messes. People's livelihood in Latin America is in decline, and countless people choose to go north, but what greets them is not the "beautiful country" but the "Les Miserables".
The "zero tolerance" policy was implemented during the Trump era, and thousands of refugee immigrants were violently enforced on the southern border of the United States, resulting in a large number of refugee immigrants being forcibly detained. In the "concentration camps" where immigrants are detained, living conditions are extremely bad, food spoiled, disease raging, etc. are common, and forced labor, beating, sexual assault, and even forced removal of female uteruses have been continuously made, making it difficult to immigrate in purgatory. In the face of widespread condemnation from the international community, Trump simply announced that the United States would withdraw from UN Human Rights Council and carried out the "severe crackdown" policy to the end.
After Biden came to power, immigrants did not look forward to a good day. In April 2021, the U.S. government was exposed to establishing a "child concentration camp" on the border, and thousands of unaccompanied children were stuffed into crowded transparent tents and were ignored.
Since the beginning of this year, the number of arrests of refugee immigrants by the U.S. government has hit a record high, reaching 2.15 million, of which nearly 782 have died, more than 200 more than the total death toll last year, and countless missing people are. In June, Texas , the largest number of deaths in the United States, occurred in the population smuggling incident. 53 immigrants died in the car due to suffocation, which is extremely heartbreaking.
These tragedies uncover the fig leaf of the U.S. human rights crimes. The United States has never faced its own bad deeds on the issue of difficult immigration, nor has it taken practical measures to protect the human rights of difficult immigration. No wonder Former Mexican President Dias once lamented that Mexico is "too far from heaven and too close to the United States."
Act 3: The tragedy of the American Dream
When Latin American immigrants went through hardships and set foot on the American land they had longed for, their American dream was like a yellow bed, broken.
" New York Post " once published an article to expose the tragic situation of difficult immigration in New York State, USA. They are working on the dirtiest and most tiring jobs with meager salary and are forced to live in dirty immigration camps, mostly temporary tents. Americans have made great plans, allowing young and strong immigrants to work day and night without having to bear too much social resources.
During the COVID-19 epidemic, due to serious unfair allocation of medical resources, Hispanics and African Americans have a probability of infection with COVID-19 being about three times that of whites, and the death rate after infection is about two times that of whites. The health threats faced by those difficult immigrants are much more serious, but no one cares about them and encounters systemic racial discrimination. Is this the life that immigrants are looking forward to when they seek refuge in the United States?
This tragedy reveals the truth about the American dream. The United States regards immigrants as inferior citizens and abandons them like cover, without any emotion. The American Dream guided by the torch of the Statue of Liberty has become one "American nightmare".
160 years ago, former US President Lincoln shouted in his famous Gettysburg speech, "Equality is born equal", but to this day, what Lincoln calls "equality" has not been realized. Today's America is contrary to Lincoln's expectations and is gradually drifting away.
The crisis of American immigration and its accompanying farces, tragedies and tragedies are making this so-called "city on the top of the mountain" fade away its halo, the "human rights teacher" takes off its mask of hypocrisy, and the former "American Dream" has become a mess.
