20 years since the creation of New Gaomei’s southern border encounters an "unprecedented" wave of illegal immigrants

　　China News Service, August 13th. According to the US Chinese website, on the 12th local time, US Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said that the Biden administration is facing "serious challenges" on the southern border of the United States because The United States is experiencing an "unprecedented" wave of illegal immigration across the border.

　　According to reports, July was the month with the highest number of non-immigrants detained at the US-Mexico border in 20 years.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection has arrested more than 210,000 people, of which more than 95,000 have been deported.

Majorcas said 27% of people had tried to cross the border before.

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.

　　In addition, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection also arrested 18,962 unaccompanied children in July, surpassing the number of minors arrested in March. At that time, the overcrowding of border facilities once aroused the vigilance of officials.

　　At a press conference in Brownsville, Texas, Majorcas emphasized that the number of immigrants arriving at the US-Mexico border has increased dramatically, many of whom are fleeing the deteriorating situation in his home country.

　　"We are facing a serious challenge on the southern border. Of course, this challenge has become more acute and difficult due to the new crown epidemic. Coupled with the destruction of our asylum system by the previous government, this situation has become even more difficult." Majorcas said.

　　Earlier this week, Majorcas traveled to Mexico with a US delegation to meet with officials.

He mentioned the trip in his speech on August 12, emphasizing the cooperation between the United States and Mexico on immigration issues, including cooperation with the country to increase the number of interceptions.

　　This month, the Biden administration began sending migrants captured on the southern border to the interior of Mexico in an attempt to prevent them from attempting to cross the border again.

This approach has been criticized by immigration advocates.

Several polls show that the American people are dissatisfied with the current administration's approach to the issue of non-immigrants.
