Overnight, the entry "American Civil War" became a hot topic in foreign social networking, and this matter made a bit of a big fuss, and even on the American border, there was a situation where two US military units confronted each other, what is going on?
In fact, the main reason for this is the disagreement on immigration policy in the United States. Let's start with a brief background.
We know that when Trump was the first to take office, he was to crack down on illegal border crossings, especially against the U.S.-Mexico border, and Trump did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to build a border wall. Later, when Biden came to power, a large number of Trump closed the border wall, and Biden's attitude towards immigration was relatively relaxed, so the border wall was stopped. However, Biden's move has caused dissatisfaction in some border states in the United States, after all, the social problems caused by illegal immigration are mainly paid by these states, especially Texas, which borders Mexico, directly announced that it would boycott the federal ** bill.
Last year, Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent a letter to Biden saying he would defend Texas' right to build a wall. In fact, Biden has also set up a border patrol team to supervise illegal immigration at the border, but the people of Texas believe that this group of people are all dry food and do not do practical things, so with the special approval of the governor, Texas even dispatched the state's National Guard to the border to enforce the law, and also placed blades on the border network to prevent immigrants from entering.
But Texas' move caused dissatisfaction with Mexico next door, when Biden ** and Mexico** signed a border stability maintenance treaty, Mexico** believed that Texas' actions violated the treaty, so they sent a letter to Biden**, demanding the removal of Texas' private barbed wire, and the matter also escalated into an international dispute.
On January 22, the U.S. Supreme Court voted to dismantle Texas' private border network, and the Supreme Court authorized the federal Border Patrol to dismantle it. As a result, the Texans were also tough, and the Texas National Guard immediately issued a sternly worded statement vowing to "preserve the sovereignty of Texas."
Then many Americans photographed Texas dispatching a large number of National Guard soldiers to the Shelby Park area on the border, setting up barriers to confront the Border Patrol, and then it has been a stalemate ever since.
Many American netizens said that this is the second confrontation between the American ** team since the American Civil War in 1861, which seems to indicate that the second American Civil War is coming.
Most of the American people still have the mentality of watching the excitement, but the two parties in the United States are arguing again. The Democrats, for their part, claimed that Texas was acting in disobedience to management and called for the stripping of the Texas National Guard; Then the Republican side said that Biden was abusing his power and undermining internal unity.
It is worth noting that Texas can be said to be the "crimson state" of the United States and the stronghold of Trump's votes. Now that the United States has entered a white-hot stage, Biden needs to make some achievements on the immigration issue as soon as possible to win votes, so he is tough on Texas; And Trump is now far ahead in the Republican primary, which also gives Texas the confidence to dare to stand up to Biden.
In fact, this incident itself can also reflect the division of American society.
