Trump supports Texas, and the American Civil War is coming?
The contradictions that have existed in the United States for a long time have finally surfaced in Trump's remarks. All kinds of seemingly different contradictions, such as race, gender, immigration, etc., are actually the manifestation of a fundamental contradiction: the gap between the rich and the poor. Resolving this contradiction may lead to a solution to other problems. Recently, however, Trump has ignited anger over illegal immigration, which has been much discussed in the United States and abroad. In the face of this outbreak of contradictions, how should we deal with it?
Recently, Trump's hardline stance on illegal immigration has caused quite a stir. He promised that after returning to the White House, he would launch the largest law enforcement operation in the history of the United States, arrest all illegal immigrants, and restore a harmonious social environment to the American people. The announcement sent 100,000 Texas militiamen to the border for a fierce standoff with U.S. troops. Why is that? Are we on the brink of a civil war?
302024, that's the number of immigrants who crossed the border and entered the U.S. illegally last month. Among them, most are South Americans, and a small number are Chinese. South Americans head east and go to Florida, while the Chinese head west and go to California. These immigrants have become the focus of social conflicts, with Trump calling them "criminals" and "scoundrels" and Biden calling them "international laborers." As a result, Texas felt a lot of pressure, and the crime rate rose by 557%, 1.77 million people were targeted by criminals. In this case, how do we choose?
The Texas response was tough and decisive. Faced with 300,000 illegal immigrants a month, Texans can't tolerate it. Fearing unemployment and security, they have taken measures to seal the border with armed force. Governor Albert issued an emergency mobilization order, and 100,000 Texans brought their own ** and rushed to the front line to take over the border from the U.S. military. The decision sparked criticism and confrontation from Biden, and the stationing of U.S. troops in Texas created a complex standoff situation.
Trump's support for Texas complicates the situation. He called on other states to support Texas, prompting 25 states to declare their support and some states to send militia reinforcements. Virginia has even mobilized its state's militia to fight the U.S. military to the end. This series of events has plunged the United States into a pot of porridge, and the situation is tense, and some people even joked that the current situation resembles the eve of the Civil War.
Biden sees this trend and feels the pressure. In an effort to stabilize the situation, he asked Congress to amend the law to take command of the militia from the local authorities to the White House. The decision sparked more controversy, with Texas insisting they were exercising the right to self-defense and Biden trying to shift the contradictions from himself to Congress. The situation has stabilized for the time being, but the essence of the problem remains unresolved.
Looking back at the "Texas incident", we can see that on the surface it is a contradiction between immigrants and Texans, but in essence it is a contradiction between the elite and ordinary people. The elite want to bring in low-wage immigrants and maintain involution, so that people have no time to pay attention to the gap between rich and poor. In this case, Americans' dissatisfaction with illegal immigration is justified. In this way, the elite group keeps people busy with their livelihoods and no longer cares about the gap between the rich and the poor, escorting them and controlling the lifeblood of the entire country.
In the process, we see the modus operandi of the elite group. For example, Asian black workers earn only $3,000 a month, compared to $6,000 for regular workers. In this low-wage situation, illegal immigrants rush to do it. Once the involution is formed, people will be busy with their livelihoods and will no longer care about the gap between the rich and the poor, and the elite will continue to manipulate the puppets. In this case, can Americans not hate illegal immigrants?
This crisis has revealed a deep-seated problem, the gap between the rich and the poor is not only an economic problem, but also a problem of social stability and social stability. We need to think seriously about how to solve this problem, and not be confused by the contradictions of the moment. If the gap between the rich and the poor is not fundamentally addressed, similar contradictions will continue to emerge, which may eventually lead to more serious social unrest.
