2024 is the first year in the United States, and the competition between the two parties is extremely fierce. Former Trump, although he lost the election in 2020, still refuses to admit defeat and constantly criticizes Biden's decision-making on **. He is also actively preparing to participate in the 2024 ** election, currently holding the Republican primary and is expected to face Biden again.
In this context, the contradiction between Texas and Biden is intensifying. Texas is a border state in the United States and faces a massive influx of illegal immigrants. The Texas governor and Republicans have been advocating for drastic measures against immigrants, such as building a border wall, sending the National Guard on patrol, and deporting illegal immigrants. Biden**, on the other hand, advocates more humane policies toward immigrants, such as easing border controls, providing asylum, and granting citizenship.
On the 24th, the governor of Texas accused Biden of violating the Constitution, causing Texas to suffer an "illegal invasion". He said that Texas will no longer abide by Biden**'s immigration policy, but will act on its own to protect Texas' safety and interests. He also announced that Texas would confront the Border Patrol to prevent them from removing the barbed wire fence along the Texas border. The move sparked a backlash from Biden, who filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court asking Texas to stop the violations.
On the 27th, Trump held a rally in Texas to support the state's approach and criticize Biden** for his weakness and incompetence. He said that if he was **, he would support the Texas operation and would even send federal troops to the Texas border to help Texas defend itself against the invasion of illegal immigrants. He also called on other Republican governors to also stand up and confront Biden and uphold the ideas and values of the Republican Party.
This immigration battle reflects the huge ideological differences between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. But the deeper reason is the political tactics adopted by the two parties to compete for votes. Biden hopes to win the support of immigrants and expand the Democratic Party's voter base by being tolerant of immigrants. The Republican Party, on the other hand, hopes to win the support of native whites and strengthen the Republican voter base by suppressing immigration.
However, such political games have not brought any improvement to the lives of immigrants. Migrants remain marginalized and precarious, denied neither legal identity and rights, nor respect and care. The meritocracy of the United States makes it difficult for them to feel the suffering of immigrants.
At the moment, the standoff between Texas and Biden** continues, but it is unlikely that either side will take extreme actions, as this will lead to a greater crisis and conflict. It is reported that Biden has agreed to introduce a new policy on border asylum, including the right to deport, which means that migrants will be treated as victims and abandoned in the corner of politics.
It can be seen from this that it is never the interests of the people but the interests of politics that determine the attitudes and policies of the two parties.
