The issue of illegal migrants crossing borders is a problem in both Europe and the United States, as evidenced by two recent migrant boat accidents in the Italian seas on June 17 resulting in at least 17 deaths. President Biden has announced a new policy targeted at illegal immigrants, offering simplified green card application procedures for spouses and children of U.S. citizens who have been living in the U.S. illegally for over ten years to prevent family separation. However, despite efforts to curb illegal immigration, Latin American migrants, primarily fleeing violent drug gangs, continue to pour into the U.S.-Mexico border. The U.S. Justice Department dismantled a Mexican drug trafficker and Chinese underground money laundering network, and Ecuador announced the cancellation of visa-free treatment for Chinese visitors suspected of smuggling into the U.S. after entering Ecuador. The article discusses various issues related to illicit drug trafficking, money laundering, and the challenges faced by migrants in different regions.
