2023年8月，数百名外籍人士在得克萨斯州布朗斯维尔和埃尔帕索的官方过境点分别冲击美国边境。国土安全部官员设置了物理屏障，并中断了门户国际大桥的交通。在墨西哥一侧，军方进行了干预，以阻止外籍人员进一步大规模非法进入美国的企图。
Back in August 2023, hundreds of foreign nationals rushed the U.S. border in separate incidents at official crossing points in Brownsville and El Paso, Texas. DHS officers put up physical barriers and stopped traffic over the Gateway International Bridge. On the Mexican side, the military intervened to stop further mass attempts by aliens to enter the U.S. illegally.
对于那些已经遗忘的人，我们最近才经历过每个月有数十万不可入境的外籍人员涌入我们的边境。为什么从2021年到2024年有数百万人涌入，而今天却只有几百人？这是政策选择的结果。前总统乔·拜登及其国土安全部长亚历杭德罗·马约卡斯在创造虚假的“合法途径”并规避我们的法律，以尽可能多地将外籍人员假释或释放到我国境内方面“成功”得令人遗憾。其影响将持续数十年。
For those who have already forgotten, we very recently had hundreds of thousands of inadmissible aliens pouring over our border every month. Why did they come in the millions from 2021-2024 and only a few hundred today? Policy choices. Former President Joe Biden and his Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas were lamentably successful at creating made-up "lawful pathways" and circumventing our laws to parole or release as many aliens into our country as possible. The effects will last decades.
我们最近在北非的西班牙城市休达看到了拜登时期边境状况的缩影。7月，超过7.2万名非西班牙籍人员冲击了边境，而摩洛哥几乎没有采取任何行动来阻止他们。其中大多数是摩洛哥人，他们大多在几天内就回国了。但有1万多人来自撒哈拉以南非洲，或者声称自己是未成年人，又或者两者兼有。
We saw an echo of the Biden border recently in the Spanish city of Ceuta, in North Africa. In July, more than 72,000 non-Spaniards bum-rushed the border while Morocco did little to stop them. The majority were Moroccans, who mostly went home within a few days. But 10,000 or more were from sub-Saharan Africa or claimed to be minors, or both.
西班牙在数千名移民涌入边境飞地后部署了军队，造成至少18人死亡。西班牙现在不得不根据欧洲极其宽松的庇护政策处理这些人，这很可能导致许多人被带往西班牙本土。即使只有少数入侵者成功进入欧洲，也会鼓励更多人尝试。
SPAIN DEPLOYS MILITARY AFTER THOUSANDS OF MIGRANTS OVERWHELM BORDER ENCLAVE, AT LEAST 18 DEAD Spain is now stuck with processing them under Europe’s insanely soft asylum policies, which will likely result in many being taken to mainland Spain. The success of even a minority of these invaders to access Europe will encourage many more to try.
唐纳德·特朗普总统终结了拜登的开放边境政策。据国土安全部称，自他上任以来，边境地区已实现“抓捕即释放”案例零发生。特朗普还终止了拜登鲁莽且非法的各种大规模假释计划。虽然仍有一些外籍人员在未被发现的情况下潜入，但由于边境巡逻队现在有时间和人力去搜寻他们，并且有权拘留他们，这类情况已大幅减少。
President Donald Trump ended Biden’s open-borders policies. Since he took office, there have been zero "catch-and-release" cases at the border, the Department of Homeland Security says. Trump also ended Biden’s reckless and illegal mass parole programs. Some aliens still sneak in without being caught, but far fewer now that the Border Patrol has the time and manpower to look for them and the mandate to detain them.
特朗普政府连续15个月实现零边境遣返，同时被捕人数骤降94%。特朗普的迅速行动遏制了这场人为灾难——此前曾有高达1000万的非法移民未经审查便进入我国，且几乎没有机会获得庇护资格。但特朗普无法改变大规模移民问题中的需求端。世界上仍然有许多贫困且治理不善的国家。
TRUMP ADMIN MARKS 15 STRAIGHT MONTHS WITH ZERO BORDER RELEASES AS APPREHENSIONS PLUNGE 94% Trump’s prompt action stemmed the manmade disaster that allowed up to 10 million illegal aliens into our country with no vetting and little chance of qualifying for asylum. But Trump can’t change the demand-side of the mass migration equation. The world still has plenty of poor, dysfunctional countries.
诚然，其中也不乏一些成功案例。拉丁美洲多国，包括阿根廷、玻利维亚、智利、哥伦比亚、哥斯达黎加和秘鲁，通过选举将左翼领导人替换为保守派领导人，这对我们半球的安全与繁荣而言是个好兆头。
True, there have been some success stories. Elections across Latin America including Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Peru have replaced leftist leaders with conservative ones, which augers well for security and prosperity in our hemisphere.
坦维·拉特纳：拉丁美洲的右转正在重塑美国的“后花园”。在萨尔瓦多，总统纳伊布·布克勒大幅降低了犯罪率并改善了经济，以至于该国正急需劳动力。美国若能推翻委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗，并换上更配合的领导人（尽管其仍属左翼），将有助于改善该国经济，使数百万民众能够安全回国。
TANVI RATNA: LATIN AMERICA'S RIGHT TURN IS REDRAWING THE UNITED STATES' BACKYARD In El Salvador, President Nayib Bukele has drastically reduced crime and improved the economy such that the country is desperate for workers. The U.S. taking out Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and replacing him with a more cooperative, if still leftist, leader should improve that country’s economy and allow millions to return home safely.
但在拉丁美洲、非洲和亚洲的其他地区，糟糕的政府、薄弱的经济和高生育率仍持续促使人们想要离开。美国依然是他们首选的目的地。
But elsewhere in Latin America, Africa and Asia, bad governments, weak economies, and high fertility continue to make people want to leave. The U.S. remains a favored destination.
欧洲也是如此，其本土人口正因来自“全球南方”的大规模移民而逐渐被取代。这并非阴谋论，而是一种可观察的人口学现象。
So does Europe, where the native population is slowly being supplanted by mass migration from the "Global South." This is no conspiracy theory; it’s an observable demographic phenomenon.
联合国难民署（UNHCR）估计，在休达至少有1200名移民可能符合在西班牙获得庇护的资格。联合国难民署与国际移民组织曾动用数百万美元美国资金，将来自世界各地的非法移民经由拉丁美洲引导进入美国。
The U.N. High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) estimated that at least 1,200 migrants in Ceuta could be eligible for asylum in Spain. UNHCR, along with the International Organization for Migration, used millions in U.S. money to channel illegal migration from across the world via Latin America into the U.S.
移民危机迫使意大利恢复与西班牙的边境检查，欧洲开放边境体系面临考验。人们涌入休达是为了申请庇护，以便进入西班牙乃至更广泛的欧盟，这与过去涌入美国边境的人群动机如出一辙。他们渴望工作、更好的前景，以及优厚的福利保障。但绝大多数人在本国并未遭受符合庇护申请条件的迫害。他们自己也会承认这一点——至少在庇护程序开始、他们不得不编造一个故事并坚持到底之前。
MIGRANT CRISIS PUSHES ITALY TO RESTORE BORDER CHECKS WITH SPAIN, TESTING EUROPE'S OPEN-BORDER SYSTEM Claiming asylum so they can get into Spain and the larger EU is what motivates people rushing into Ceuta, just like those who used to rush the U.S. border. They want jobs and better prospects, including generous welfare benefits. But the vast majority are not persecuted at home in the way required to qualify for asylum. They’ll admit as much themselves, at least until the asylum process begins and they have to make up a story and stick to it.
一名来自乍得、非法进入休达的移民穆罕默德·亚库布告诉美联社记者：“对我们来说，最重要的是拿到证件”，这样他才能实现去法国留学的目标。如果他真的寻求庇护，本应在离开乍得后抵达的第一个安全国家就提出申请。但他不仅没有这样做，还承认自己一旦拿到“证件”，甚至不会留在西班牙，而是会前往法国。
One illegal migrant to Ceuta from Chad, Mohamed Yaqoub, told an AP reporter that "The most important thing for us is to get the papers," so that he could achieve his goal of studying in France. If he were truly seeking asylum, Yaqoub would have done so in the first safe country he reached outside Chad. He not only didn’t, he admits he won’t even stay in Spain once he gets "papers," he’ll go to France.
边境涌入事件后，数千名移民仍滞留西班牙境内，死亡人数已接近100人：休达官员表示，从全球南方国家向富裕国家迁移的需求永无止境。但住房、医疗和福利资源却十分有限。许多欧盟成员国都存在结构性预算赤字和债务问题，其经济未能实现增长，而社会主义医疗和养老体系的成本却在不断上升。
THOUSANDS OF MIGRANTS REMAIN IN SPANISH TERRITORY AFTER BORDER RUSH, DEATH TOLL HITS ABOUT 100: CEUTA OFFICIAL Demand to migrate from the Global South to the richer countries is insatiable. But housing, healthcare and welfare benefits are limited. Many EU member countries have structural budget deficits and debt caused by their economies failing to grow while the costs of socialist healthcare and pension systems rise.
文章。美国在很大程度上也面临同样的困境。如今，与欧洲一样，我们有证据表明，典型的非法移民或低技能合法移民在其一生中会造成净财政损失——不仅无法拯救社会保障体系，反而使其陷入困境。
The United States is largely in the same boat. Now, like Europe, we have evidence that the typical illegal or low-skilled legal migrant results in a net fiscal loss over his lifetime – thus not saving Social Security, but sinking it.
让休达和布朗斯维尔成为我们的警示：绝不能再让拜登式的边境政策重演。
Let Ceuta and Brownsville, be a warning to us to never let the Biden border happen again.
