At the border of Mexico with the US, and most of all on the episode with the state of Texas, we have had a migration crisis for many years, a scale that surpasses what any European Union country has been dealing with so far. Suffice to point out that the number of illegal migrants crossing the US border from Mexico's side only in the last year is greater than 2.8 million people, and this is an absolute evidence in history.
At the same time, it should be noted that the immense increase in the influx of migrants took place for Biden's presidency, while the size of this phenomenon was maintained within certain limits and data for 2020, the last year of Trump's rule, recorded 400,000 migrants.
There's been a seven-fold increase in the number of migrants crossing the Texas border. This must have triggered a state of crisis with which Texas State authorities are fighting with increasingly extremist action.
The politician of the State of Texas is Republican and determined Conservative Greg Abbott. Seeing the full inefficiency of Biden's national government in dealing with migration, Abbott has increasingly taken matters into his own hands and taking advantage of the state's capabilities and prerogatives that are not small, trying to limit migration and its impact on the lives of the people of Texas.
He announced Operation Lone Star and introduced a state of "invasion" in July 2021 and began to take control of the border, which was a national domain so far. This active building at the border of the barbed wire barrier, besides along the Rio Grande River.
Meanwhile, Washington authorities did not agree to Texas' construction of this barrier and national agents tried to destruct it by cutting through in any episodes.
It should be noted that this situation was very akin to what has happened in Poland on the border with Belarus since the mediate of 2021, even at the same time as in the USA.
The Polish government defended the border and first built a temporary barrier there, while the opposition, mainly KO, as well as any non-governmental organizations were interfering with how they could, launching a run in the media against the Border Guard, and moving even to destruct barbed wire dams.
However, the then Polish government held on to this massive attack and in the next phase built a permanent barrier on the border. The 1 Mr. Tusk claimed would never rise.
It can be assumed that the full action in Poland against the construction of a barrier on the border with Belarus was, in a sense, equivalent to Biden's actions against Texas. possibly that is why the U.S. Ambassador to Poland supported the opposition rather clearly, because, in the context of the Texas clash, the success of the Polish government in the substance of building the wall was not a match for Biden.
Liberals, both in Poland and in the US, believe that the desires and material ambitions of any migrants seeking to cross the state border are more crucial than the sovereignty of the state and its right to defend its borders.
I besides wondered where these fantastic and unconfirmed stories came from about the large number of deaths among immigrants trying to break the border with Poland, which was utilized by propaganda attacking the Polish Border Guard.
Perhaps it was simply a calculus from the account of what was actually happening on the Mexican border with Texas, where 853 deaths were counted only in 2022. Simply, most likely the propaganda active against our government did not want to change anything here and the communicative describing what was happening over Rio Grande moved straight to Polish conditions, not worrying at all that it was completely untrue, which, after the fact, even 1 of the activists in Gazeta Wyborcza wrote about, admitting that 4-year-old Eileen, around whom propaganda hysteria was blown, simply did not exist.
But let's leave this Polish context, which, by the way, is truly interesting, and let's go back to Texas. The situation in fresh weeks has been exacerbated, and a real effort has been made between national and state authorities. This applies especially to Eagle Pass, where Texas forces do not let national agents close the border.
In the case, he attempted to intervene in the ultimate Court by issuing an order to remove the dams in this place. In response, the Texas politician sent the National defender to defender the border and vowed to “protect the sovereignty of our state.”
The governors of 24 another states ruled by Republicans announced their support for Texas in this dispute, as well as talker of the home of Representatives Mike Johnson.
In addition, any of them decided to send branches of the National defender to aid Texas.
Governor Greg Abbot accused Biden of plotting with Mexican drug cartels. On January 23, the Department of Homeland safety (DHS) gave the Texas lawyer General Ken Paxton an ultimatum, ordering the removal of the “cross” along the border and providing the national Border defender with full access to Eagle Pass until January 26.
The ultimatum has passed without effect, while transports with the Texas National defender weapons are moving to the border: with many Abrams tanks, Bradley's combat infantry cars, and M109 self-propelled Haubics.
The Texas National defender is not any poorly trained militia, but a full-fledged armed force with more than 23,000 soldiers and armed as the national armed forces, including their own combat flight. For this reason, it is hard to imagine that Biden has decided on a strong solution to the conflict, as this could mean the beginning of a civilian war. Rather, he will effort to resolve the dispute amicably by agreeing to the principles of migration policy corresponding to the Republicans, who, for their part, would agree to allocate funds to support Ukraine.
However, it is hard not to announcement that the current situation is actually weakening Biden, as his scope for manoeuvre is becoming narrower. Now he can either step down, or order a force solution that could correspond to the bombing of Fort Sumter in 1861, or events that then began the civilian War.
This full situation gives emergence to enthusiasm in Russia, as this kind of event besides weakens the US and the ability to support Ukraine by this country. Vladimir Żyrinski, who said in Duma in December 2021 that the U.S. presidential election in 2024 would not exist, due to the fact that the US would no longer exist.
This could only become a fact in the event of the outbreak of civilian war in this country. Interestingly, there is besides an event in the media planet that can be regarded as a predictor of something similar. I am referring to the movie "Civil War", which is expected to be released on April 12 of this year, whose game is to depict the communicative of journalists travelling around the United States during the increasing and consuming civilian war.
Of course, the date of April 12, for this event, was not chosen by chance, but due to the fact that then it is the anniversary of the attack on Fort Sumter, the beginning of the American civilian War. What will be the situation in the US during the premiere of this film?
Even this kind of political fiction, considered in the context of the current situation in Texas, is, however, starting to give emergence to real concern, as any civilian war seems completely impossible until it becomes a fact.
