Biden vs. Texas governor, U.S. lawmakers bluntly said "separation", "two Americas" where will go
Texas is known as the "thorn" among the states of the United States, and the conflict with the federal ** has recently escalated sharply due to the issue of illegal immigration. The trigger for this contradiction was the Supreme Court's passage of allowing Biden to dismantle the barbed wire fence set up by Texas to prevent illegal immigration. Texas Governor Abbott expressed strong dissatisfaction with this, not only mobilizing the National Guard to re-lay barbed wire at the border, but also accusing Biden on major occasions of "failing to fulfill his constitutional duties" and "betraying the interests of the people of Texas."
Abbott's stance was supported by 25 Republican state governors, with former Trump calling on social media for Republican states to send the National Guard to Texas in support. There are even some ultra-conservative lawmakers calling for a "national divorce" and demand the independence of Republican-controlled "red states" from the Union.
In his response, Biden considered stripping Texas of its "military powers" and even discussed whether to federalize the Texas National Guard. Meanwhile, Biden froze all LNG export approvals the day after 25 Republican governors announced their support for Texas, which caused strong revulsion in Texas to see Biden trying to force Texas to bow its head.
The conflict between Texas and the federal government is not only a partisan dispute, but also reflects the deep differences in American social perception. The United States has always been advertised as a "moving home", but judging by the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the country, the United States has always been a white-dominated country. In recent years, while minority immigration has gradually increased, the superstructure remains in the hands of white elites.
Over the past few decades, political elites and Wall Street giants of both parties have agreed that minority immigrants can be accepted to gradually replace the lower classes of whites, as long as the barriers of the superstructure can be maintained and serve the interests of US global hegemony and transnational capital. However, Trump's victory in 2016 shattered that consensus and woke up the marginalized underclass of whites and supporters of conservative values.
Trump and Biden represent two different Americas: one based on white and conservative values, and the other parasitic on and benefiting from the global order. This different perception of the United States has led to the ** of society and has affected the handling of domestic and foreign affairs in the United States. At present, although Biden has made concessions, there are still deep divisions in American society, which will be reflected in the United States in 2024.
