"It's a fight! ”
On January 27, there was a rare standoff between U.S. federal law enforcement officers and the Texas State Civil Guard.
In the past, it was the United States that controlled conflicts between other countriesAnd this time it is a situation of internal disintegration in the United States, which is really amazing.
Soon, U.S. congressmen clamored for "separation", and the tense atmosphere of "American Civil War" was permeated on American social **.
What's more, the timing of this armed confrontation coincides with the 2024 U.S. ** election, and the two candidates who are in the limelight - Biden and Trump, and also expressed his attitude towards this.
Biden naturally stands in the camp of the United States, and Trump has become the leader of the "resistance" in Texas!
Where did this conflict come from? Where is it headed?
Governor of Texas, December 2023AbbottA new bill was signed:
Empower police to arrest illegal immigrants who cross the border into Texas illegally, authorize Texas judges to deport illegal immigrants back to Mexico, and illegal immigrants who refuse to cooperate can be sentenced to 6 months in prison and 20 years for repeat offenders (two illegal border crossings).
In the eyes of the Americans, this is "the most radical anti-immigration bill in history", and it has also completely pushed the deep-rooted problem of illegal immigration in the United States to a climax.
According to the US Border Patrol, only in 2020More than 450,000 illegal immigrants have been intercepted at the southern border of the United States。As you can imagine, the number of illegal immigrants in the entire American society is high.
The influx of these illegal immigrants,It's not just a factor of instability in American society, and a threat to legal workers in the United States. After all, more labor means cheaper, and it's ideal for employers to spend less.
As a result, various social problems have been sparked in the United States, which are located in the border areas.
That's the case in Texas.
Mitigation methods have also been considered, such as arranging for asylum placementsOr give money to send supplies to other states and New YorkHowever, the human and financial resources expended and the dissatisfaction of the local population are not a long-term solution.
In desperation, Texas made this "most radical bill".
Actually, in 2012,ArizonaA similar bill was also proposed because of the issue of illegal immigration, but it was finally overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.
As for why the attitude towards illegal immigrants is different from that of other states, we have to say that the United States has always flaunted "freedom and democracy".
Absorbing illegal immigrants, earning a good reputation in the international community, and at the same time increasing the number of low-level laborers in the labor market, are all commendable benefits for those US politicians who "do not eat the fireworks of the world."
Therefore, the United States has a "blind eye" attitude towards illegal immigrants, and when faced with the demands of states whose interests have been harmed, it can only be muddy.
But this time,The situation is increasingly out of the control of the top echelons of American politics.
Because after Texas signed the new bill, it immediately mobilized the National Guard to build a barbed wire fence on the U.S.-Mexico border, vowing to carry out the bill to the end.
As a result, the United States** entered a state of confrontation with Texas.
The US ** election has undoubtedly added another firewood to this contradiction.
The United States has always had a dispute between the donkey and the elephant, that is, the party struggle between the Democratic Party represented by the "donkey" and the Republican Party represented by the "elephant".
It is worth mentioning that no matter which party comes to power,None of them will change the essence of American capitalist hegemonism.
Because the United States** is determined by the "electoral vote".
That is, there are 50 states in the United States, two places each, and then allocate other places according to the number of people in each state, such as California, which has a large number of people, is allocated to 55 places, plus the original two places, which is 57 "electoral votes".
If Biden had received more votes than Trump in California, he would have all of California's "electoral votes," or 57 votes.
There are a total of 538 "electoral votes", and whoever gets 270 first is the new America**.
Biden, as the United States, stands on the opposite side of Texas, and Trump wants to seize this opportunity and stand with Texas.
January 27thTrump said he fully supported Texas' illegal immigration measures.
At the same time, 26 other states have also voiced opposition to Biden's immigration policies. Moreover, the blue-collar workers, represented by American truck drivers, are in solidarity with Texas**.
It can be said that the social divisions and party strife that have intensified due to illegal immigration are difficult to quell for a while.
What is even more unexpected is that the Republican congressman of GeorgiaMarjorie[GF]2022[GF]Taylor[GF]2022[GF]Greencame up with a bad idea, that is, to let the Republican Party and the Democratic Party rule separately and achieve a divorce at the national level.
This undoubtedly allowed the United States to take a step in the direction of "civil war".
The bell must also be tied to the bell, this imminent civil strife,Started because of the problem of illegal immigrationIt is bound to discuss a specific statement in order to calm down, but as for the bipartisan struggle in the United States, it will not stop fighting.
