The two parties in the United States only focus on a "verbal battle". Overseas online reviews: 3-year-old immigrant girl dies in transit | Immigration | United States

The death of an immigrant child once again exposes the tragedy of American human rights. Recently, American media reported that a 3-year-old immigrant child tragically died on the way to Texas for immigration transfer. The severe situation of the immigration crisis in the United States has once again been exposed to the world, reflecting the cruel reality of American politicians ignoring the human rights and well-being of immigrants and using them as "tools of party struggle".

According to American media, the 3-year-old girl comes from Venezuela. A group of immigrants, including her and her parents, were taken on a bus from the Texas border city of Brownsville last week and transported to Chicago, Illinois in the northern United States. After the bus entered Illinois on August 10th, the girl began to experience symptoms such as fever and diarrhea. After emergency personnel arrived, she was given first aid measures and taken to a hospital in Marion County, Illinois, but the girl ultimately passed away. This is the first time a immigrant death has occurred since the Texas government started the immigration transfer project called Operation Lonely Star in April last year. Although Texas officials told the media that all immigrants underwent physical health checks before boarding, Texas Senator Roland Gutierrez questioned whether the child had actually undergone a health check, which remains to be verified

This unfortunate tragedy is a microcosm of the escalating immigration crisis in the United States. According to incomplete statistics, multiple immigrant children have died within the United States this year: in March, a 4-year-old Honduras child died alone in a hospital in Michigan; In May, an 8-year-old Panamanian immigrant girl died of illness while being detained at a US immigration facility; In June, a 9-year-old boy who entered the United States from Arizona died of a disease induced by high temperatures; In July, a 15-year-old Guatemalan immigrant girl died of illness while being detained in the United States... In a June report, the BBC quoted a pediatrician named Paul Wise as saying that the conditions that led to the deaths of these children "should not be seen as rare anomalies, but as systemic defects", and that if these conditions are not corrected, "they may lead to more children being harmed in the future.".

The unfortunate premature death of a 3-year-old child once again reflects the reality that the immigration crisis in the United States is actually a political crisis. The "Lone Star Operation" that led to the death of this girl was part of a campaign to transport difficult immigrants from Latin America from multiple Republican controlled border states in the southern United States to Democratic controlled states or major cities in the northeast and west of the United States. According to statistics, since April last year, Texas alone has sent over 30000 immigrants out of the state, of which 4600 have been sent to Chicago. In order to pass on this burden to the Democrats, Florida Governor De Santis and others are willing to use private chartered planes. Even on the day of the girl's untimely death, Texas Governor Abbott reiterated through social media that he would continue to "transport immigrants" until Biden completes his job and ensures border security.

On the immigration issue, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party can be described as a sharp match. Texas Congressman and Democrat Henry Quilliar said that Abbott "cannot use immigration as a political pawn" and should cooperate more with the federal government in border security; Another Texas Democratic Congressman, Joaquin Castro, and Illinois Congressman and Democrat Hessus Garcia, issued a joint statement calling for federal intervention to "stop Operation Lonely Star.". At the end of the day, politicians from both parties constantly argue, but it's just a matter of political self-interest. Republicans, in order to gain white votes, embrace localism and populism, and adopt a tough attitude towards illegal immigrants from Latin America, which is an excellent bargaining chip they use to gain support; Democrats hope to expand their "vote box" by demonstrating support for illegal immigrants, mainly Latinos. The two parties are constantly arguing for their own interests, which will only turn the immigration issue into a tool for political manipulation and become a sacrifice in the political struggle between the two parties. Democratic congressman Pramira Jayapar had previously stated, "Immigration is no longer a real policy issue, but has become a political issue."

The loss of immigrant souls in pursuit of the "American Dream" is a serious consequence of the United States falling into a state of governance failure. On May 1st, US Secretary of Homeland Security, Mayokas, in an interview with NBC, referred to the US immigration management system as a "completely broken system" and once again called on both parties to push for legislative reform. However, in NBC's view, the two parties have already "drifted apart" on immigration issues. On NBC's 3rd, a report stated that in 2013, the Democratic and Republican parties were able to propose a comprehensive immigration reform bill through cross party cooperation. However, by 2023, the two parties had faced off on a series of issues related to border law enforcement, obtaining citizenship for undocumented immigrants, asylum policies, and immigration rights. "Our policy and political system have fallen into a predicament.".

The untimely death of a girl once again reveals the bloody side of the American immigration crisis. The United States should carefully examine and correct its accumulated crimes in the issue of difficult immigration, stop playing the role of a hypocritical "human rights defender", and take practical measures to safeguard the human rights and basic rights of difficult immigrants.
