How the influx of Somali migrants
caused the dismissal of the powerful minister of the United States
The flow of trainers, including
Somalis, crossing the Mexican border has led to the dismissal of the powerful
US Secretary of the Interior, Alejandro Mayorkas.
The resignation came a week after
members of Congress from the Republican Party failed to fire the minister.
Republicans have criticized the
minister for his handling of the anti-immigrant immigration laws that have
increased since the election of Joe Biden, the Democratic Party's president. Former
President Donald Trump is widely campaigning that the new government has failed
to control the flow of immigrants.
Thousands of refugees, including
Somalis, are crossing the border between the United States and Mexico. This has
been the subject of intense debate for many years in the American political
parties.
In the past two years, hundreds
of thousands of Somali immigrants have crossed the border between the wall and
the wire in the US states that share the border with the United States.
The Republican Party of the
United States, which has a slim majority in the House of Representatives,
strongly criticized the way the Biden government handled it and the lack of
enforcement of immigration laws that they accused the government of.
The House of Congress narrowly
voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, making him the
first cabinet member to face impeachment in nearly 150 years.
Many in the Republican Party
blame Mayorkas for the unprecedented flow of migrants pouring into the
US-Mexico border.
The Republican-led House voted
214 to 213 for the measure, after the first attempt failed last week. The issue
now moves to the Democratic-led Senate, where it is likely to fail.
President Joe Biden called
Tuesday's vote "a clear act of unconstitutional and political
partisanship. Opponents of Mayorkas accused him of not living up to his oath of
office and failing to do much to secure the borders.
Number of Immigrants crossing to the United States
More than six million immigrants
have entered the United States illegally since 2021, making immigration a
contentious issue ahead of the November election.
Hundreds of Somalis have been
among the millions of refugees who have crossed the border wall in recent
years.
The wall has created a lot of
debate in American politics, and every year young Somalis jump over it as part
of the people who want to reach the country.
Those young people who are
looking to make a new life in the United States sometimes face many problems
during their journey.
The construction of the wall
started by the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, is still
ongoing, and it seems that the party currently in power in the United States
wants to continue the construction of the wall.
This issue is also one of the
focal points of Donald Trump's campaign to oust Biden.
Data from the Department of
Homeland Security released at the end of 2020 shows that the new walls have
reduced illegal entry in some areas by nearly 90%. University studies, on the
other hand, report mixed results.
Analysts said that the Border
Guard has documented that it has been successful in controlling the flow of
immigrants in the past, at the end of the Trump administration, although the
achievements were not great.
A report published in the
American Economic Review found that border barriers have reduced overall
immigration by 35 percent.
