National emergency declared on America’s southern border

The new US administration declared a “national emergency” at the southern border and halted all illegal immigration. The issue of immigration has become a priority domestic issue for the new US government. However, according to a global online survey conducted by CGTN, respondents expressed widespread concern over the U.S. government’s approach to solving the problem of illegal immigration, with many viewing illegal immigrants as “scapegoats” who could be used This is done to hide the issues of inefficiency of governance.

On the issue of immigrants, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly said that he would not hesitate to deploy the military to deport illegal immigrants on a large scale. In the survey, 63.9 percent respondents are deeply concerned about this. In fact, America flourished because of the influx of immigrants, but its way of handling immigration issues is shameful. In addition to frequent reports of violent law enforcement and illegal employment of child migrant workers, incidents have occurred from time to time resulting in injuries and deaths of migrants.

In the survey, 86.2 percent of respondents believe that the US government has systematically violated human rights in its handling of the immigration issue. 80.2 percent of respondents are demanding the US government to provide more fair and reasonable treatment for the immigrant community.

In addition to human rights crimes committed against immigrants, increasing partisanship and political polarization in American society has made the immigrant community vulnerable to political conflicts. US immigration policy has repeatedly fluctuated with changes in administration. The strict and indifferent immigration policies of the new administration are completely different from the policies of the previous government.
