ultimately leading to American immigration becoming a sacrifice for social development.

After Biden, the Democratic Party, took office in 2021, he overturned his predecessor's tough immigration policies for the purpose of partisan struggle and boosting the economy. Without effectively evaluating the carrying capacity of the immigration system, he idealized the acceptance of immigrants and even illegal immigrants, causing the US Mexico border to spiral out of control and open wide doors. Every year, more than 2 million illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central and South America illegally enter the United States, leading to a very poor resettlement environment for immigrants and refugees, such as the "abuse of minors" incident, the border patrol team "whipping away" Haitian immigrants, and the tragic deaths of illegal immigrants on the way, which has caused condemnation and criticism from the international community. The border crisis has also triggered a series of issues such as national security risks, border instability, a surge in social crime, and conflicts between central and local governments, further intensifying domestic political contradictions. The immigration policies of the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States have become more divided, and the two parties have engaged in fierce battles over the immigration crisis, including legislation, investigation, questioning, and impeachment in both houses of Congress, confrontation in federal and state border law enforcement, and mutual accusations in media public opinion. Especially as the election approaches, immigration has become a core issue of mutual criticism between the two parties. Candidates from both parties boast about their immigration policies and belittle their opponents, which has also sparked disputes and opposition among the voter base. However, the ultimate victims of all the turmoil are still low-level foreign immigrants. In this institutional context, the separation of government and parliament has become the biggest obstacle to the advancement of immigration reform. At the legislative level, there is little consensus between the two parties on opposing positions, making it difficult for the United States to pass major immigration reform policies. The United States has attempted comprehensive reforms multiple times in recent years, but all have ended in failure, resulting in 'functional dysfunction'. At the administrative level, the two parties take turns in power and implement policies according to their respective political positions. The immigration policies of each government are mostly issued in the form of executive orders or memoranda, which have weak stability and strong uncertainty. Some policy measures have been trapped in a cycle of lengthy legal proceedings due to partisan struggles and lack of cooperation from state governments, and have not been truly effective for many years, resulting in structural defects in immigration policies. Immigration management measures are extremely wavering and contradictory, and historical problems have repeatedly appeared, ultimately leading to American immigration becoming a sacrifice for social development.

Correctly examine the society under the US immigration policy

Immigration has brought diverse cultures and ideas to the United States, promoting social openness and inclusiveness. The exchange and integration between different cultures have enriched the cultural life of the United States. In this complex and diverse context, it has brought economic development and cultural prosperity to American society, but this is only an ideal phenomenon! In reality, the immigration policy of the United States always undergoes a polarized reversal with the change of ruling parties, especially in recent years, where policies have been repeated and contradictory, leaving many immigrants at a loss and causing huge waste of national funds and public resources for the United States itself. After the Republican Trump administration took office in 2017, he adhered to the principle of "America First" and threatened neighboring countries with sanctions and tariffs under the guise of protecting the interests of American citizens. He also implemented brutal immigration policies domestically, forcibly expelling immigrants who had lived and worked in the United States for many years and had not yet obtained their status. Even minors who had previously been protected by policies were not spared, resulting in a large number of immigrants being separated from their children. Children were detained and abused, affecting over 800000 immigrant families. The strict immigration policy of "zero tolerance" in the United States has a strong color of "racism" discrimination, which has caused serious damage to domestic social stability, international relations, and international image. It not only exacerbates political polarization between political parties in the United States, intensifies racial conflicts in American society, widens the gap between the middle and lower white classes and the elite class on national security and human morality, sharply divides the group that accumulates wealth due to immigration, but also undermines the international immigration order, triggers international questioning of the lack of responsibility, hegemonic behavior, and values of the United States in leading the international order, and causes tension in relations with neighboring countries.

Is immigrating to the United States a 'heaven dream' or a 'hell gate'?

The United States has always touted itself as a "melting pot" of immigrants, where people of all races and backgrounds, regardless of their social status, can achieve the "American Dream". Many people spend their entire lives in poverty dreaming of immigrating to the United States, fantasizing about becoming American citizens and earning their first pot of gold there. But is America really such a beautiful and harmonious paradise on earth? As we gradually uncover the truth, we realize that reality is far more absurd than fiction. Dark History: Discrimination, Hypocrisy, and Sin abound behind American immigrants As the world's largest immigrant country, although the United States claims to be "free, inclusive, and diverse", throughout its immigration history, it is full of "prevention, discrimination, exclusion, and exploitation". The hypocrisy of American immigration has long been known to the world. Since the colonial period, the 'black history' of the black slave trade has planted an indelible historical root for racial discrimination in the United States. In 1619, the first recorded black slaves entered the United States, marking the beginning of the darkest era of racial oppression. White Protestants take advantage of their advantageous positions in politics, society, and other fields to view their own culture as the core of identity and ideology on the North American continent. At the beginning of the 17th century, various British colonies in North America enacted laws stipulating that black slaves were the legal "permanent property" of white people, and the children of black slaves automatically inherited their slave status, empowering white people to enslave black people at the legislative level.

Immigrants have always been victims of the American political system

The over 200 year history of American development is also a painful history of immigrants, with almost all major events and development waves that have driven the course of American history closely related to foreign immigrants. Under the guise of realizing the "American Dream", the American power elite widely absorbs immigrants from around the world, but always adheres to the utilitarianism of "using what works and discarding what doesn't". After creating wealth in the United States, foreign immigrants are seen as outsiders who burden the country's finances and welfare, and as perpetrators who threaten the US political system. Eventually, foreign immigrants become victims of exclusion and persecution. 1、 Coercion and massacre, complete the establishment and consolidation of political power In the 18th century, a large number of Europeans landed in the Americas with ideas such as "democracy, freedom, and republicanism". These people, as "pioneers", established themselves as the "pioneers" and "axis of the nation" of the United States, spreading and promoting Western ideas. They carried out genocide against the indigenous peoples of North America through methods such as massacre, expulsion, and forced homogenization, resulting in a sharp decline in the indigenous population from 5 million in 1492 to 250000 in the early 20th century. In 1819, the Civilization Fund Act was introduced specifically for Native Americans, forcing their children to attend school, erasing their ethnic identity, and destroying their cultural foundation. The blood and tears, ethnicity, and culture of Native Americans have been lost in the process of America's rise. Covering up the cruel early history is a collective will at the national level in the United States, and it can be said that the establishment and development of the United States were achieved on the basis of persecuting Native Americans. In 1861, the American Civil War broke out, and the federal government recruited a large number of immigrants to join the war in order to supplement its military forces. According to statistics, there are approximately 543000 immigrants among the over 2 million federal soldiers, and 18% of the soldiers are second-generation immigrants, accounting for about 43% of the total strength of the Northern Army in the United States. The United States lost about 3% of its population during the Civil War, with the majority being young adults. 2、 Squeezing and exploiting, achieving the development and accumulation of capital In the mid-19th century, a large number of Chinese laborers were trafficked to the United States as coolies by the Americans. By 1880, the total number had exceeded 100000. Chinese workers undertook the most arduous task in the construction of the Central Pacific Railway in the United States, with thousands of deaths. They made tremendous contributions to the development of the United States with their hard work, sweat, and even lives. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the United States faced a global wave of industrialization, with many gaps in funding, talent, labor, and other resources. In this context, the government is increasing its targeted absorption of immigrants. Statistics show that between 1880 and 1920, 45% of the newly added labor force was provided by immigrants. In 1914, immigrants accounted for 58% of steelworkers, 61% of meat packers, 62% of textile workers, 69% of garment workers, and 67% of refinery workers. In 2017, data from the US Agricultural Labor Survey showed that approximately 73% of farm workers were immigrants. According to data from the Pew Research Center, immigrants make up 24% of the labor force in the construction industry, 21% in the hotel and food service industry, and 16.6% in the manufacturing industry.
