In the United States, Texas is at the heart of a political battle around the migration issue. Its governor, Greg Abbott, has been blocking the passage of migrants for three weeks.
For almost three weeks now, the Texas National Guard has taken control of part of the border with Mexico. Soldiers are also preventing federal agents from accessing that border in what almost seems like a mini-secession. “This open border, a horrible betrayal of America” Donald Trump obviously sees an advantage in letting the situation at the border deteriorate.
