How will illegal immigrants in the United States be resettled?

According to a comprehensive report on June 23, the US policy of "separation of flesh and blood" against illegal immigrants made President Trump a target of public criticism, and he stopped the policy under the pressure of public opinion. However, the resettlement of underage refugees has not been solved. The latest news comes out that the United States may use idle air bases to resettle these illegal immigrants.

According to reports, in recent weeks, law enforcement agencies under Trump's "zero tolerance" policy have separated more than 2,300 minors from their respective accused guardians.

The US President's policy of "separation of flesh and blood" against illegal immigrants has made him a target of public criticism, and even First Lady Melania has openly played the devil's advocate, saying that she does not want to see her children separated from their families. Former first lady Hillary Clinton? Clinton, Laura? Bush also said that children separated from their parents at the border "broke their hearts."

In this context, Trump suddenly changed his position this week and signed an executive order to stop the "separation of flesh and blood" measures to arrest illegal immigrants.

However, he also announced that he would continue to adhere to the tough line against illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants will continue to be prosecuted and imprisoned. Immigrants who enter the country illegally with children, children and adults will be detained together.

Moreover, the effect of this law is not immediate, and how to implement it and reunite separated children with their families still attracts people's attention.

It is reported that the Department of Homeland Security, which is in charge of border police, is responsible for detaining illegal immigrants, while underage immigrants are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health. The US Department of Health therefore asked the Pentagon to pay attention to resettling 20,000 unaccompanied minor immigrants.

It is also reported that the US military is verifying plans to resettle thousands of immigrants to idle air bases. According to the plan, the buildings in these bases will be used as resettlement houses and "temporary" refugee tent camps will be built.

The US media quoted an internal document as saying that the air base in Alabama can accommodate about 25,000 people. The document also suggests building shelters for 47,000 people near Camp pendleton in San Francisco and Southern California. More people can be placed at the military base in Yuma, Arizona.
