- 美國總統川普宣布南部邊境進入國家緊急狀態,計畫增派1,500名現役軍人駐紮邊境,並加速邊境牆建設,以遏止非法移民流入
- 2021至2024財政年間,美國南部邊境記錄872萬次非法入境,約55萬名無人陪伴未成年外國人被攔截,邊境資源嚴重承壓
- 美國移民政策趨嚴,可能影響低技術勞動力供應,導致部分產業成本上升,企業與投資者需關注人力成本變化及市場需求調整
根據白宮於2025年1月22日發布的聲明,川普總統簽署行政命令,宣布美國南部邊境進入國家緊急狀態。該命令指示國防部長部署更多軍事人員至邊境,包括現役軍人和國民警衛隊成員。此外,命令還要求國防部和國土安全部長完成邊境牆的建設,並確保國土安全部在邊境附近的空中任務運作具有足夠的靈活性。
為了加強邊境安全,川普總統已下令增派1,500名現役美軍至美墨邊境。這些士兵將加入目前在邊境的約2,200名現役軍人和數千名國民警衛隊成員,為邊境巡邏人員提供後勤、運輸和建造障礙物的支援。美國官員表示,未來派駐邊境的軍人總數可能增加至1萬人,具體數字將取決於多種因素,包括對戰備狀態的影響以及國土安全部的需求。
自2021至2024財政年間,美國南部邊境共發生約872萬次非法入境事件,導致邊境資源不堪負荷,社區安全受到威脅。此外,約有55萬名無人陪伴的未成年外國人在此期間被攔截。毒品如芬太尼等也通過邊境大量流入美國,僅在2023年就導致約7.5萬名美國人死亡,成為18至45歲美國人的首要死因。
GUARANTEEING THE STATES PROTECTION AGAINST INVASION: Today, President Trump signed an Executive Order that suspends the physical entry of aliens engaged in an invasion of the United States through the southern border.
In joining the Union, the States agreed to surrender much of their sovereignty in exchange for the federal government’s promise in Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, to “protect each of [the States] against Invasion.”
States, such as the Great State of Texas, have asked the Federal Government for protection against invasion during the Biden Administration, but it failed to protect them from millions of illegal aliens entering the United States, invading their communities, and imposing billions of dollars of costs upon State and local governments.
The President has the authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act, as well as inherent authority under Article II of the Constitution, to prevent the physical entry of illegal aliens into the United States across the southern border.
DIRECTION TO IMMEDIATELY REPEL, REPATRIATE, AND REMOVE ILLEGAL ALIENS INVOLVED IN AN INVASION:
Through the exercise of his authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act and the Constitution of the United States, President Trump is authorizing and directing the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the Department of State to take all necessary action to immediately repel, repatriate, and remove illegal aliens across the southern border of the United States.
Through the exercise of his authority, President Trump has further restricted access to the provisions of the immigration laws that would enable any illegal alien involved in an invasion across the southern border of the United States to remain in the United States, such as asylum.
PROMISES KEPT: In 2024, President Trump promised to “seal the border on Day 1.”
As President Trump described in 2018: “Illegal immigration affects the lives of all Americans. Illegal immigration hurts American workers; burdens American taxpayers; and undermines public safety; and places enormous strain on local schools, hospitals, and communities in general, taking precious resources away from the poorest Americans who need them most. Illegal immigration costs our country billions and billions of dollars each year…And I will therefore take every lawful action at my disposal to address this crisis. And that’s what we’re doing.”
INVOKING A NATIONAL EMERGENCY: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order invoking the National Emergencies Act regarding the crisis at the Southern Border of the United States.
The Executive Order declares a national emergency at the southern border following four years of record-shattering illegal immigration into the U.S.
It directs the Secretary of Defense to deploy additional personnel to the border, including members of the Armed Forces and the National Guard.
Additionally, it directs the Secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security to finish the wall along the southern border and ensures that DHS has all the flexibility it needs to operate air missions near the border.
TAKING BACK CONTROL: For the past four years, the federal government has abdicated its responsibility to enforce the border, resulting in a catastrophic immigration crisis for the United States.
When States like Texas took steps to prevent illegal crossings into their state, the federal government sought to stop them by cutting down their barriers.
A record-shattering 8.72 million border encounters have occurred at the southern border from FY21-FY24, overwhelming border resources and endangering communities.
This has led to untold hundreds of thousands of children being trafficked. Roughly 550,000 unaccompanied alien children have been encountered at the border since FY21. Fentanyl and other drugs are pouring over the border and flooding our communities, killing roughly 75,000 Americans in 2023—the number one cause of death for Americans ages 18-45.
It has allowed dangerous gangs like the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua to takeover and terrorize entire American cities.
And it has led to the murders of innocent Americans like Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin, and many others.
BUILDING ON PAST SUCCESS: America is in a dire situation, and it is past time for the government to act. President Trump first declared an emergency at the Southern Border on February 15, 2019, and continued that emergency on February 13, 2020.
Following the at-the-time historic surges of illegal aliens in 2018, President Trump declared a national emergency and successfully reduced the number of people seeking to enter the country illegally.
In 2024, President Trump promised to declare an emergency to secure the border and use the military where necessary to protect Americans from foreign threats.
This Executive Order will allow the government to gain operational control of the border, combat the cartels, and secure our nation.
As President Trump described in 2018: “Illegal immigration affects the lives of all Americans. Illegal immigration hurts American workers; burdens American taxpayers; and undermines public safety; and places enormous strain on local schools, hospitals, and communities in general, taking precious resources away from the poorest Americans who need them most. Illegal immigration costs our country billions and billions of dollars each year…And I will therefore take every lawful action at my disposal to address this crisis. And that’s what we’re doing.”
