Recently, the Texas government and the federal government in the United States faced off at the border. Texas Governor Abbott publicly criticized U.S. President Biden, and 25 governors issued a joint statement in support of Texas... How are the local governments and federal authorities in Texas in the United States doing? Fierce conflicts have erupted over solutions to the migrant crisis and are intensifying.
About half of the U.S.-Mexico border lies in Texas, and the issue of illegal immigration has long been a pain point for the Texas government. Data from the U.S. House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee show that fiscal year 2023 was the worst year in history for U.S. border issues. More than 3.2 million illegal immigrants were deported or arrested, and about three-quarters occurred on the southwest border.
The battle between Texas and the federal government over border immigration issues has a strong color of partisan struggle, highlighting the long-standing differences and opposition between the Democratic and Republican parties on immigration issues. Previously, Abbott and other Republicans have frequently accused the Biden administration of inaction on the issue of illegal immigration, and have repeatedly used buses to transport illegal immigrants to cities run by Democrats. Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene recently issued an article calling for a "national divorce" between "red states" controlled by the Republican Party and "blue states" controlled by the Democratic Party, that is, dividing the United States based on politics and ideology. For red and blue.
The United States is currently entering the election season, and the partisan dispute between the two parties in the United States has become intense over the issue of illegal immigration. The demands and rights of immigrants have been completely ignored and they have become victims of American partisan politics.
