Constitutional crisis: Texas Governor Greg Abbott refused to comply with a controversial Supreme Court decision that prohibited the state’s National Guard from taking control of a section of the US border. The National Guard continues to actively erect barriers – buoys and barbed wire.
The governor himself refers to the constitution and calls Joe Biden a “criminal president” who refuses to implement immigration law. Therefore, 300 thousand migrants storm the border every month, and border guards, on orders from Washington, let them through.
The confrontation between security forces at the border has been going on for many months. But now it threatens to reach a new level, when Texas simply refuses to comply with Washington’s decisions, which it considers harmful to itself. Democrats in Texas are now demanding that Biden make a decision on federalizing the National Guard – putting it under the control of the White House and moving it away from the border.
This will be the next step in the escalation between Texas and Washington. Other Republican states are also on the side of Texas. For example, Florida also sent its security forces to the Texas border to fight illegal immigrants. So many states are challenging Biden at once.
Meanwhile, the immigration deal in Congress is on the verge of falling apart. Republicans reacted sharply negatively to Biden’s proposal to simply open the borders and legalize the admission of illegal immigrants. Accordingly, the issue of allocating tranches to Ukraine is postponed indefinitely. While Washington is desperately trying to stop the centrifugal processes within America itself.
