In 2021, the United States had a Capitol Hill that shocked the world, exposing the profoundness and lack of unity in American society. At that time, Americans unanimously blamed Trump as the culprit and hoped that Biden would be able to restore order and prestige in the United States after taking office, so that the United States would "come back".
However, contrary to expectations, after Biden took office, the problems of the United States not only did not solve, but worsened, and at the beginning of this year, there was a situation of "chaos in the world", Texas announced that it would prohibit the federal ** from entering part of its territory, and there was an armed confrontation with the federal ** army. What's more, 25 states have expressed support for Texas' actions, which is in opposition to the federal government.
The root cause of this "lone star**" is the problem of illegal immigration.
The United States has always boasted of being a "beacon of liberal democracy," but its reluctance to accept all those who aspire to the American Dream has led to a flood of illegal immigration. The east and west sides of the United States are seas, and it is difficult to smuggle them in, so they can only enter the country illegally from Canada in the north or Mexico in the south. Obviously, Mexico is an easier conduit for illegal immigrants than Canada.
And after these illegal immigrants enter the United States, their first stop is the southern "red states" of Texas and Florida. The "blue states" in the north, such as New York, have stayed out of the way and have not been affected.
The Republican Party tends to be conservative, and it is naturally opposed to "illegal immigration" because it is already disgusted with "outsiders" and has to bear the pressure of illegal immigration. The Democratic Party, on the other hand, shouts "democracy" and "human rights" but is unwilling to take responsibility for illegal immigration.
In 2022, in order to give the "blue state" a taste of "illegal immigration", the states of Texas and Florida will send a large number of illegal immigrants to New York and other Democratic-controlled cities. As a result, New York's asylum applications and immigrants have skyrocketed, overwhelming resources. The mayor of New York City angrily denounced Texas' actions as "contrary to American values" and "terrible things."
However, these illegal immigrants who were sent to the "blue states" were either repatriated to the "red states" or transferred to other "blue states", and some were even sent to South Korea and Japan. This shows that the Democrats only pay lip service to morality and do not really care about the fate of illegal immigrants.
In mid-January, the U.S. Supreme Court voted to allow Biden to dismantle the barbed wire fence that Texas had erected to stop illegal immigration. The reason is that this kind of barbed wire with blades, which can easily injure people, is an "offensive defensive measure". But even with this barbed wire, it can't stop illegal immigrants from "loving" the United States, and in 2022, the number of illegal immigrants will reach 2.4 million.
If the barbed wire fence is really torn down, the number of illegal immigrants will only increase.
So, Texas was furious.
According to the US Constitution, the states have their own paramilitary forces, the "National Guard". Texas Governor Abbott announced that Texas has been invaded and that the National Guard and other agencies will take action to secure Texas' borders. Not only did Texas continue to build barbed wire along its borders, but it also confronted federal forces, barring them from entering parts of Texas territory. The red necks of Texas are not easy to mess with, they used tanks, armored vehicles, etc., and there are even rumors that they want to imitate the feat of "Wagner entering Moscow" and go to Washington for an "armed parade".
On the 25th, the governors of 25 states, including Alaska, Alabama, and Montana, issued a joint statement expressing support for Texas' actions and confrontation with the federal **. Trump has also publicly stated that he "greatly appreciates" Texas' approach, slamming Biden for his incompetence.
Nowadays, the contradictions between the central and local governments in the United States have reached a white-hot level, and the Democratic-controlled Republican congressmen called "Lone Star" have called for "national divorce" between the "blue states" and the "red states" to go their separate ways. It seems that there is a possibility of a second civil war in the United States. But at present, it is not very likely that a civil war will really break out in the United States, this is just a farce in the United States, and it may end in reconciliation or compromise in the end.
But as similar incidents increase, the rift in American society will also deepen, and no one can ** what will happen in the future....
