Recently, tensions between the US state of Texas and the federal** have been in the spotlight of international news. At the heart of this standoff are illegal immigration and border security. In an effort to address illegal immigration, Texas built barbed wire at the U.S.-Mexico border and sent the National Guard to stop illegal immigrants from entering the country. However, the action was met with federal opposition, with Biden demanding the removal of the barbed wire and sending federal law enforcement officers to carry out the action, triggering an armed standoff between the Texas National Guard and federal law enforcement officers.
Texas Governor Abbott insisted that the measures were to address the social and law and order problems caused by the influx of illegal immigrants. Under the U.S. Constitution, states have the right to take measures in the event of illegal entry. At present, 25 states have publicly opposed Biden's immigration policy and signed a letter to show their support for Texas. These states have even pledged to send troops and provide ** support to Texas.
Biden responded by suspending approval of Texas' oil and gas exports, adding to tensions. In addition, former Trump and Republican candidates in the United States have also publicly expressed their support for Texas and called on other states to send National Guard reinforcements to the Texas border.
Despite the current tensions, experts generally agree that a civil war in the United States is less likely. Texas, while it has a tradition of independence, is unlikely to be independent or in civil war. This incident is more a reflection of the deep divisions within the United States over immigration, as well as the political struggle between different states and federal**.
To sum up, although the confrontation between the US state of Texas and the federal ** has attracted widespread attention, it is still far from the level of a civil war. The standoff is more of a political struggle involving deep-seated immigration policy and legal issues in the United States.
