On the 27th local time, former US President and Republican presidential candidate Trump publicly expressed his deep appreciation for Texas's approach to confronting the Biden administration at a rally.
Trump said, "If I were the President, I would send reinforcements to Texas instead of restraining orders." "I would not conflict with these border states, but would use all the resources and powers of the President of the United States to defend the United States from the terrifying invasion that is currently happening." Currently, in addition to Trump, several Republican congressmen have also voiced their support for Texas's approach.
As the US election approaches, there has been a fierce conflict and conflict between the federal government and Texas over the immigration crisis. In order to crack down on illegal immigration and prevent more immigrants from entering Texas, Texas Governor Abbott set up barbed wire in the US Mexico border area and dispatched National Guard personnel to carry out military strikes.
However, this approach has caused dissatisfaction from the Biden administration, which has always advocated for the large influx of immigrants to compensate for the shortage of cheap labor in the United States. It directly sued the Texas government, and ultimately the Supreme Court of the United States made a ruling authorizing federal law enforcement agencies to dismantle the barbed wire fence built in Texas. Biden's tough action immediately ignited tensions, and Abbott launched a series of deployments codenamed "Operation Lone Star", directly mobilizing the Texas National Guard to reinforce and build barbed wire while engaging in an armed standoff with US federal law enforcement personnel.
It is reported that in recent years, the number of illegal immigrants in the United States has been continuously reaching new highs, and the immigration trend is becoming increasingly intense. According to data from the United States Customs and Border Protection, the number of cross-border immigrants arrested by the United States at the border has increased sixfold since 2018, reaching a historic high of 2.4 million by 2022.
Abbott believes that for Texas located on the southern border of the United States, allowing immigrants to enter the country would have a serious impact on local social life and security. And he repeatedly criticized Biden for "breaking the contract between the federal government and the states," because according to US law, states have the right to take self-defense measures in the event of an invasion. As of now, including Texas, 26 states in the United States have openly opposed Biden's immigration policies, which means Abbott currently has the support of at least 25 states in the United States.
On January 26th, 25 local states issued a joint statement in support of the Texas government, and Florida directly entered the border areas to provide practical support for Texas's border blockade operation, as well as providing a large amount of funds and logistics resources. As a result, the political infighting between the Democratic and Republican parties has rarely seen the risk of escalating into a "civil war", and the entire United States is divided into two camps,
Republican Congressman Green from Georgia, USA, issued a message on the 25th local time, calling for a "national divorce" between the Republican controlled "Red State" and the Democratic controlled "Blue State", which means a peaceful breakup. This congressman believes that as long as each state in the United States is completely "divided" and goes their own way, there will naturally be no conflicts and contradictions. Without the US government, which is a crazy organization that squanders taxpayer hard-earned money, American people can also live a more free and better life, at least with a huge improvement in their quality of life.
This congressman's article indeed expresses the voices of many Americans. Many American citizens are highly dissatisfied with the US government's aggressive foreign policy and disregard for internal crises, believing that the US government has no ability other than to exploit its citizens through tax collection.
On January 26th, an article in The New York Times titled "Two America, Two Presidents in a Final War" pointed out that there is currently no definite precedent in American history for Biden and Trump competing for the presidency and such division. The situation of two former presidents as presidential candidates has only occurred twice, once in 1892 and once in 1912, Currently, 81 year old Biden is the oldest president in the United States, while 77 year old Trump faces 91 felony charges. The United States is already a divided country.
Nowadays, the armed confrontation between the local National Guard in Texas and federal law enforcement officers in the United States has attracted global attention. We fully respect the choices of the people of Texas, firmly support all efforts made by Texas to defend democracy, freedom, and human rights, and hope that the US government will remain calm and restrained, after all, the US considers itself a beacon of human rights.
