Recently, the conflict between migrants at the Texas border in the United States has continued to heat up. Texas Governor Abbott carried out a series of deployments, code-named Operation Lone Star, to mobilize local National Guard forces to continue building and reinforcing barbed wire and preventing federal law enforcement from entering the border area. Some analysts believe that Abbott's interference in federal power has reached a level not seen since the abolition of apartheid in the 50s of the last century. So much so that many people who eat melons use the "American Civil War" or even "Texas independence" to describe this incident.
So, what's really going on in Texas?
Introduction to Texas
Texas is abbreviated as Texas, the name comes from the Indian language, meaning "brother", "fellow", and covers an area of 69It is 620,000 square kilometers and has a population of about 30 million. It is the second-largest state in the United States by land area and population (after Alaska in terms of area; population is second only to California). Located in the south-central region of the United States, it is bordered by Louisiana to the east, Arkansas to the northeast, Oklahoma to the north, and New Mexico to the west, while sharing borders with the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, and a stretch of the Gulf coastline in the southeast.
Texas was originally part of Mexico, became independent in 1836, established the "Lone Star" Republic, and officially joined the United States in 1845, becoming the 28th state of the United States, the capital Austin, and the largest city is Houston.
Texas has a well-developed economy, second only to California among all states in the United States, and would rank among the top 10 economies in the world if you count it, ahead of Canada, Russia, South Korea and Spain.
Texas, what's wrong?
Since last year, the number of migrants from Central America and elsewhere who have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border has reached a record high of 2 million, considering that the entire state of Texas has a population of less than 30 million, and while these migrants may continue to travel to other states in the United States, Texas has always been the first port of call for these migrants. The influx of such a large number of people every year has caused a great shock to the social order of Texas. Abbott has repeatedly accused Biden of "deliberate inaction." Finally, on December 18, Abbott signed a bill criminalizing immigrants illegally crossing the border into Texas. The new law gives local law enforcement the power to arrest illegal immigrants and also gives judges the power to issue orders to deport illegal immigrants to Mexico. At Abbott's behest, the Texas National Guard began erecting barbed wire fences along the U.S.-Mexico border and using force to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the state.
This bill caused Biden** to be dissatisfied, and then applied to the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene. On January 22 of this year, the U.S. Supreme Court voted 5 in favor and 4 against to approve a request by Biden** to allow the Border Patrol, the U.S. federal law enforcement agency, to remove part of the barbed wire fence along the Texas border that was used to deter illegal immigration, prompting a conflict between the two sides.
The situation escalated
After the contradictions between Texas and the federal ** became public, they quickly expanded into contradictions between the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States. On January 25, the Association of Republican Governors published a joint letter signed by 25 Republican governors in the United States. The joint letter openly supports the Texas governor's anti-immigration measures, criticizes Biden's immigration policies, and plays the sign of the U.S. Constitution.
In addition, former ** Trump highly praised Abbott's approach at a Nevada campaign rally a few days ago, he said: If I were **, I would send reinforcements to Texas instead of a restraining order, I would not clash with these border states, but would use all the resources and power of the United States to defend the United States from the terrible invasion that is taking place right now. He also took the opportunity to blame Biden, calling the surge in illegal immigration in the South a form of mass destruction** that would destroy the United States at home.
Since Biden took office, he has not only halted Trump's border wall construction, lifted immigration bans on Muslim countries, but also ended measures to keep migrants from the U.S.-Mexico border in Mexico. At one point, he even proposed a plan for 11 million illegal immigrants who remained in the United States to legalize their status in eight years, but this plan was not advanced in Congress. Not only did these measures fail to add political credit to Biden, who did not get political points, but they also stimulated large-scale smuggling at the border.
**Preview?
In the face of the menacing Republican Party, Biden said on the 26th that he agreed to support tougher border measures on the border issue, including the closure of the US-Mexico border, but he also called on the Republican Party to reach an agreement with the Democrats as soon as possible and sign the bill. Right now, some Republican and Democratic senators have proposed a draft border agreement for adoption. Some analysts believe that this statement has changed significantly from Biden's attitude towards immigration at the beginning of his presidency, and its purpose is to avoid Trump's attack on Biden's immigration policy and affect it.
The Texas incident, in essence, is still the difference between the two parties on the governing policy, as the opposition party, the Republican Party, must be to see the excitement is not a big deal, muddy the water in order to build momentum for the end of the year, the so-called American "Civil War", "Texas independence" or rational view.
