China News Service, May 18th. According to the New York Times report on the 16th, in the past few months, there has been a wave of immigration at the US border that is not the same as before: from India to Brazil, a large number of "epidemic refugees" are flocking to US border.

But the Biden administration is not yet ready to respond.

　　According to reports, the immigration problem on the southwest border of the United States is increasing.

Data show that in recent months, staff at the US-Mexico border have prevented people from more than 160 countries from entering the country.

In addition, in April alone, the Border Patrol intercepted 178,622 people, a record high in nearly 20 years.

Data map: On January 22, local time, some construction materials were discarded at a border wall construction site in Sunland Park, New Mexico, USA.

On the 20th, U.S. President Biden signed an executive order calling for the cessation of the construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall.

　　The New York Times noted that the number of immigrants from faraway countries is increasing. In these countries, the new crown virus has caused unimaginable infections and deaths, and destroyed the local economy and livelihoods.

In the immigration wave, in addition to people from many countries in Central America, there are also some people from India and other parts of Asia. They embarked on a "global" journey and eventually went to the United States.

　　According to reports, some immigrants will take a bus from their hometown to a big city like Mumbai, take a plane to Dubai, then pass through Moscow, Paris, Madrid and other places to fly to Mexico City, and finally take a bus to the US-Mexico border from there.

　　The report pointed out that what is worrying is that many immigrants were originally forced to go to the United States because of their own economic difficulties. Now, the epidemic is expanding this immigrant group.

For immigrants detained, most will be released and then wait for immigration hearings, which may take years.

　　If they fail to obtain asylum, many people may eventually remain in the United States, and this will continue to expand the millions of illegal immigrants living in the United States.

　　According to previous reports, the Biden administration has adjusted the Trump administration’s immigration policy since it took office, including suspending the construction of the border wall between the United States and Mexico and relaxing restrictions on immigration, which has triggered a large number of immigrants gathering at the US-Mexico border.

The living conditions of these immigrants are poor, and many children have been separated from their parents, which has aroused widespread concern.

The Biden administration recognizes that the surge in immigration at the US border is a "crisis."
