Is there infighting in the United States? Texas is brewing a wave of independence

Mondo International Updated on 2024-02-01

Recently, there was an incident that attracted widespread attention in the US state of Texas, which declared that it would confront the US federal **.

Currently, Texas has mobilized its own state's National Guard, which has numbered more than 40,000 people, with the support of 25 Republican states. These men have gathered at the U.S. border, heavily armed and have clashed several times with patrols sent by the U.S. federal **, and the clashes show no signs of abating, but are intensifying. The nationalist movement in Texas is even clamoring for complete independence from the United States.

At this critical moment, some Russian netizens suggested that China and Russia should get involved in supporting Texas' independence, and called on China to "treat Texas well" as it did Taiwan. Although the idea is displeasing to Americans, the game between countries often requires long-term strategy. In this great power game, the situation in Texas is seen as a pawn that may be skillfully used in a long-term strategy. The internal problems of the United States are growing, and other powers may see this opportunity to contain its power and resources by interfering in the internal affairs of the United States. Therefore, for China and Russia, the chaos in the United States may be seen as a strategic opportunity. Returning to the Texas issue, the trigger stems from the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court two days ago, which ruled 5-4 to dismantle the U.S. border wall. The decision means that the U.S.-Mexico border will become a null and void. In the past, even with a border wall, the number of people pouring into the United States from Latin America each year was already huge. If the border wall is demolished, this number will increase geometrically.

The influx of migrants will hit the states close to the border first, and Texas has the largest annual influx due to its longest border with Mexico. The problems brought about by the influx include the impact on the employment opportunities of local residents, the escalation of law and order problems, and the conflict and contradictions caused by cultural differences. In previous years, border states like Texas have had to devote significant resources to addressing these issues, so their antipathy to immigration has often become a base of Republican support. Immigration policy has also become an important issue in American politics, and it is closely related to this. Republicans have been advocating for tighter border management and restrictions on immigration, while Democrats have taken the opposite stance and are inclined to expand and loosen immigration policies. This policy divergence has led to a tendency among voters in the immigration process to favor the Democrats. As a result, Republican hostility to immigration policy has led immigrants to tend to vote for the Democrats, further exacerbating the polarity between the two parties. In this context, the crisis in Texas could become an element of further complications in the political situation in the United States.

Some people may question that, after all, the United States has always been an emigrant country, and the immigrant population accounts for the vast majority in the United States, so it stands to reason that the Democratic Party should be the largest party in the United States. Why, however, does it seem that the Republicans are more dominant these days? There is a human nature at stake. These immigrants don't always go all the way to the Democrats. As new immigrants gain U.S. status, their political stance may gradually change, from pro-Democrat to pro-Republican. This is because they perceive themselves as U.S. citizens and begin to resent the entry of newcomers, feeling that they are stealing jobs and destroying communities. The Democrats, who have lost this part of their votes, can only continue to push forward with immigration policies, but the result is that the number of immigrants in the United States continues to increase, and the social order has become more chaotic, which seems to be unstoppable, because it is a complex manifestation of human nature. This year is the year of the United States, and on the surface Trump has a strong momentum and a sweeping trend, while Biden of the Democratic Party seems to be difficult to become Trump's opponent. Biden has once again turned his attention to the issue of immigration at the border in the face of pressure, hoping that by bringing in these new immigrants and quickly enabling them to obtain American status by various means, they will get their votes. This also explains why the Republican Party has reacted so strongly to this policy. It's not just a matter of border security and employment, it's also about the basis of their governance.

Texas decided to confront the United States, and Governor Greg Abbott expressed strong opposition to Biden's immigration policies, arguing that they have already brought serious consequences, and even accused Biden of treason. Abbott decided to stand firm, announcing the use of the Texas National Guard to secure the border wall and refusing the federal patrol to dismantle it. The decision was widely supported by the Republican Party, and other Republican states began organizing their own state's National Guard to Texas for support. This shows that on the issue of immigration policy, Republican states have a consensus on maintaining the border and their own rights and interests, as well as strong opposition to Biden**. This series of moves could further exacerbate internal political tensions in the United States.

Biden, a Democrat, is clearly not going to tolerate aggressive Republican actions in Texas. Biden demanded that Texas comply with the Supreme Court's ruling, while making further demands, including federalizing the Texas National Guard and authorizing its withdrawal from the border. In addition, Biden demanded that border posts set up by the Texas National Guard be returned to the federal** or further steps will be taken. This series of demands apparently caused discontent in Texas and provoked even greater outrage. Even those who support the border blockade are now flocking to Texas, with thousands of trucks carrying them to the Texas border every day. The federal patrol that has clashed with Texas is waiting for Biden**'s directive.

To be sure, the current situation in the United States is chaotic. This time the civil unrest is not easy to solve, and the extent of its development remains to be seen. For China and Russia, this could be an opportunity. If that is the case, we may be able to take advantage of this opportunity. In this world, there is no reason to just let the Americans come out and stir up trouble, and when it is time to fight back, let the Americans taste what they have inflicted on others before. Such opportunities do not arise very often, so it is important to take advantage of them. After all, in the international political arena, opportunities are often fleeting.
