Everything is an "election"! That's right, one sentence to the point! Why is it said that it will not be reversed? It is also because of the "election", why is it reversed, and in the end it is also because of the "election".
Trump has now ironclad the nomination of the first candidate, and in the case of the deepening division between the two parties in the United States, it is not unusual for anything to happen before November this year, and Uncle Wen asserted: It will just refresh history and our three views again and again, such as this time, which is also the largest armed confrontation between the state and the Union after the American Civil War. And the 25 states that support Texas are equivalent to opening up a large vote for Trump. So the ins and outs of the whole affair, what exactly is going on? Why does Uncle Wen have such a view? Let's sort it out.
Governor Greg Albert of Texas in Sasks, issued a statement on the border, denouncing the U.S. federal government, saying, "You've broken your agreements with the states, and you're saying that Biden has violated his pledge to faithfully enforce Congress's immigration laws." And given that Biden's runaway border policy has led to more than six million illegal immigrants in just three years, crossing the southern border of Texas and Saskas, more than the combined population of the 33 states of the United States. This refusal to protect states has caused unprecedented harm to people across the United States. ”
Thus Albert declared that Texas had been invaded, and invoked the constitutional right of Texas to defend and protect himself, which is superior to any federal law to the contrary.
At the same time, the Texas National Guard, as well as the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other agencies are taking action to secure Texas' borders in accordance with this right and state law. And on the same day, Biden of the United States was also-for-tat, he warned Texas Governor Albert that he must allow the federal government to cut the large barbed wire fence installed by the state on the southern border within 24 hours, otherwise he will face a serious consequence.
Then this is equivalent to an ultimatum. At this point, it is the first time since Biden took office, and it can even be said that since the outbreak of the last civil war in the United States, the border crisis in the United States has escalated to the point of federal and state conflict, and it has become so serious that an armed conflict may break out.
State National Guard assembles at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The United States today is becoming more and more like the United States that was deeply divided and antagonistic before the Civil War. And 2024 is also becoming more and more like, the year 1860 before the Civil War.
The cause of this incident is the deepening crisis on the southern border of the United States. Due to the continuous entry of a large number of illegal immigrants, then Texas was forced to call it Eagle Pass in its border city. Near him there was a river called the Rio Grande. Along the banks of the river, they had set up about thirty miles, that is, about forty-eight kilometers long, and the barbed wire fence called the spiral circle blade was all opened.
In addition, Governor Albert authorized the installation of a floating barrier over the Rio Grande and allowed Texas police to arrest and detain thousands of immigrants for trespassing. And the Biden administration, which has always given the green light to this illegal immigrant, cannot accept Texas's approach, so he ordered this saying that the federal ** can cut these barbed wires and let a large number of illegal immigrants go.
At the same time in federal court, Biden also went to file a lawsuit first. The reason is that these barbed wire fences are preventing border patrols from helping migrants and reaching them when they cross the river. And in any case, according to Biden, what he means is that this federal immigration law takes precedence over the provisions of Texas' own state law.
But last month, a federal appellate court ruled in the Texas state's favor, requiring the federal government to immediately stop cutting the barbed wire. So Biden immediately appealed the case to the Supreme Court. A few days ago, on January 22, the Supreme Court's ** officials, 9 ** officials, approved this emergency appeal of the Biden administration with just one more vote of 5:4.
Under this Supreme Court order, which means that the lawsuit continues, the federal government is temporarily allowed to cut the barbed wire fence that Texas has set up on the U.S.-Mexico border. However, this poses a problem. This order is the Supreme Court's order, and he has a lot of ambiguity, and he doesn't make it clear.
For example, he didn't give any reason, and he didn't explicitly say that these ** people in the Federation were allowed to be border patrol officers. Allowing them to say that they had access to the national park area in the border area, he didn't even ask Texas to remove the barbed wire. So in such a context, the governor of Texas, Albert, he chose to disobey the Supreme Court.
Texas installs barbed wire.
In his statement, he said that Biden had not kept his commitments under Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution. That is, a commitment to protect every state from invasion. So since the Biden administration is the first to be unconstitutional, then we in Texas can invoke the third paragraph of Article 10, Article 10 of the Constitution, which says that it recognizes that states have a sovereign interest in protecting their own borders. This is stated by the U.S. Constitution.
Then, Albert ordered the Texas National Guard, the state Department of Public Safety, and other agencies to take action to secure Texas' borders.
Then on the 28th,Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, in an interview with Fox News, warned Biden**: "You don't have to fight Texas law enforcement officers. "You heard it right, a lieutenant governor warned the United States**. He warned this Biden and said that you law enforcement officers should not confront our law enforcement officers in Texas and asked your people from Washington to give way so that our law enforcement officers can carry out their duties.
"The biggest mistake Biden could make is to go and confront our law enforcement, our military, and our National Guard, on our borders, while we're busy doing what the American people want to do," he said. So did you hear him say that? As you may have noticed, one of the key words here is our military.
Everyone needs to know ,Among the 50 states in the United States, Texas is relatively special, and it is the only state that has the confidence to say that our army is in place. Because Texas is special in that it is the only state that can have its own army. Texas has a military strength, which includes at least one army division, two combat brigades and battalions of the army, an air combat brigade battalion, five fighter brigades, an air transport brigade, plus seven independent regiments, and a large number of logistics support troops.
The commander-in-chief of this army, he is not the United States, but the governor of Texas. What's even more special is that, theoretically, Texas is also the only state that can legally separate from the United States. Because the Constitution of Texas states that Texans have the right to reform or abolish the Union**.
Some people may ask, why does Texas have such a unique status? In fact, to put it simply, this has something to do with the history of Texas when he first joined the United States. As you may know, Texas has a nickname called "Lone Star State".
In the past, this land was originally part of Mexico. In 1836, after a war, Texas declared independence from Mexico, and a state was established called the Republic of Texas. Because it only has one big star on its flag, it is also called the Lone Star Republic.
But the country only existed for a short period of nine years. By 1845, the United States announced that Texas had joined the United States as a country as a whole, becoming the twenty-eighth state of the United States.
So it is precisely because of such a origin,So when he joined Texas at that time, he had already stated that it was this that he retained two major privileges. The first is that he can have his own army, and the second is that he can retain the right to quit the Union and regain independence.
The strength of the Texas army is good.
In March of last year, 2023, there was a Texas congressman named Brian Slanton, who once introduced a bill, which was called "HB3596 Bill", which said that a Texas referendum was planned to be held on November 7, 2023. It is up to Texas voters to decide whether they want to continue to support Texas as a confederation or to restore Texas to an independent statehood. But in the end, the bill was only at the stage of the proposal, and was not formally sent to the committee of the House of Representatives.
Since then, there has been no progress. So it is precisely based on such a background that it is not difficult for us to understand why Governor Albert is right, he has the confidence and capital to confront Biden hard. In other words, the original Texas constitution allowed Texas to become independent. Although, of course, it's only a theoretical right.
But we see that now Biden's increasingly absurd border policy is activating this right in Texas and using this right. If you think about it, this is a simple truth, that is, no country in the world will open its own door and allow illegal immigrants from all over the world to enter and exit freely. According to this statistics from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, from October 2022 to September 2023, it is only one year.
The U.S. has arrested nearly 500 people on their watch list on their northern border. And on the southern U.S.-Mexico border, at least 80 people have been arrested. So that's just the tip of the iceberg. That is to say, in the past three years since Biden was in power, how many criminals and *** have come in at the border is simply a confused account, no one knows.
After the conflict between Texas and the federal state broke out, Texas quickly gained the support of at least 25 states. Just these red states in the picture belowWell, Wyoming even went so far as to publicly say that they could send their own National Guard to support Texas. The implication is that if there is going to be a war, we are also at war.
Red states are basically traditional Republican states.
At the same time, including the speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, who can be regarded as a relatively important political figure, is the third person in the United States, and he has also publicly stood up for Texas. So at the moment, the Texas military is doing a very important move, which is that they are actively recruiting members to join this border defense mission, which is called Operation Lone Heart.
In fact, it is expanding the army, and at the same time, a large number of truck drivers from various states are driving these heavy trucks all together and driving to the Texas border. This assistant is also an expression of a pro-Texas attitude.
And as far as Uncle Wen's personal opinion is concerned, although Biden has now drawn a red line, said that he will give you twenty-four hours, and issued an ultimatum. But if we really want to let the federal and Texas conflict break out at the military level, I think the possibility is actually very low. Because there is an important reason for this, at least so far, we can see that Texas is Governor Albert, who has always exercised his responsibilities in accordance with the Constitution and the law.
Either the U.S. Constitution or the Texas state constitution. And the real unconstitutionality is actually Biden **. And we now see that although the Supreme Court ruled that federal border agents can cut the barbed wire fences at the border, he did not prohibit Texas from continuing to put up the barbed wire.
It's important to pay attention to these words. So Texas, we can see that he is not delaying at all now, and the federal ** has cut off one, and they are ready to make up for it immediately. Strictly speaking, this ruling does not violate the Supreme People's Court, but it looks rather ridiculous. However, this is the way it is now, that is, the current political ecology of the United States, which is actually not normal.
So at least in the short term, the United States will not really fall into a Civil War-like separation, or even a civil war. But this time the border crisis can be said to have sent a very dangerous signal。As we all know, this year is the first year, in November this year, the border crisis has ignited the anger of the American people, especially the red states are extremely annoyed by this matter, as we said just now, more than 20 states immediately expressed their support for Texas.
So if on such a basis, if this year's ** appears again, like the last time it hit the Capitol Hill, then the United States can still be so many American people, so many states, and still be able to continue to stay calm, can keep not **, and no civil war. I think it's a bit hard to say.
