The farce of transferring immigrants to the United States is once again unfolding. US officials: Immigration has become a political issue. Immigration | Bus | Politics
On June 14th local time, Republican led Texas used a bus to transport illegal immigrants to Democratic led Los Angeles, California. This is the third incident of immigrants being transported to California this month.
The farce of illegal immigration in the United States continues to unfold repeatedly
Los Angeles officials stated that a total of 42 illegal immigrants, including some children, were transported to a local station around 4 pm on the 14th. At present, these immigrants have been taken care of by urban institutions and charitable organizations.
Social welfare lawyer: These children sat on the bus for 24 hours, coming from Texas. If you are in the same car with your children, even if it takes 2 hours, you can imagine the scene where the children are tired and hungry.
This is the third time this month that immigrants have been transported to California. On the 2nd and 5th of this month, Florida transported a total of 36 illegal immigrants from the border to Sacramento, California by plane.
After the arrival of immigrants on the 2nd, California Governor Gavin Newsom and Democratic State Attorney General Rob Bonta announced an investigation into the matter. Newham said in a statement that his office is working with the California Department of Justice to investigate whether there were criminal activities such as abduction and kidnapping involved in this matter. Bonta stated in a statement that the act of abduction recognized by the state government is immoral and disgusting.
Since last year, due to considerations of party and local interests, Republican led state governments such as Texas and Florida have repeatedly transported a large number of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border of the United States to Democratic led cities. Before and after the expiration of Article 42 of the US rapid deportation order for illegal immigrants in May this year, the wave of immigrants on the southern border became increasingly fierce, and the operation of transferring immigrants to Texas and Florida resumed.

On the issue of illegal immigration policy, the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States are constantly at odds. The transportation of illegal immigrants through buses and airplanes reflects that immigrants are increasingly becoming a tool for the struggle between the two parties in the United States.
On June 14th local time, Texas Governor Albert issued a statement defending his decision to send immigrants to Los Angeles by bus and criticizing Biden's immigration policy. "Due to President Biden's refusal to ensure border security, thousands of illegal immigrants have flooded in, leaving Texas border towns overwhelmed." Albert also emphasized that "Los Angeles is the main city these illegal immigrants hope to go to, and the city of Los Angeles has previously been declared a 'safe haven city'.".
On the same day, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass also issued a statement, accusing Abbott of "using people as chess pieces in his cheap political game, which is detestable." Bass also accused, "Republican governors are increasingly fond of despicable gimmicks."
Since last year, the farce of transporting immigrants has been repeatedly staged and has become a topic of mutual criticism between the two parties. Earlier this month, more than 30 illegal immigrants were transported by plane from Florida to California, sparking strong reactions from Democrats.
California Governor and Democrat Gavin Newsom: We can handle this, we are a border state. Florida Governor De Santis can't handle it, and a contracting company says he plans to send illegal immigrants to California. This is a gimmick, it's too awkward, sad.
The Democratic Party criticized Republicans for disregarding the personal demands and personal safety of immigrants by forcibly transferring them as "political pawns.". Republicans believe that since Democrats support accepting immigrants, they should place them in their own areas of governance instead of expressing dissatisfaction and complaints when immigrants arrive in Democratic areas.
Florida Governor and Republican De Santis: If the policy is to open up the border, then I believe the sanctuary should take on all of this.
Former Acting Secretary of Homeland Security and Republican Chad Wolf: That's why they protect these people through the law. So when immigrants are transported by bus to places like New York or California, their governors or mayors should not be surprised. This is what they advocate and what they want.
The farce of transshipment of immigrants has repeatedly occurred, and the website of Politburo in the United States helplessly commented that it marks a familiar cycle: Republicans say they are only dealing with a surge in immigration, while Democrats accuse their opponents of using illegal immigration to create political gimmicks. U.S. Congressman Pramira Jayapar also pointed out that "immigration is no longer a real policy issue, but has become a political issue.".
Faced with controversies over immigration, the two parties in the United States only engage in a heated debate without coming up with any solution. Some netizens criticized, "Both Democrats and Republicans have made mistakes in failing to introduce reasonable immigration policies. Treating immigration as a political show is not helpful." Another netizen pointed out, "Republicans cannot come up with truly appropriate border control policies, either building walls or treating immigration in inhumane ways. Democrats also do not know how to effectively solve immigration problems."
