CONSERVATIVE STATES AGAINST BAIDEN'S BORDER POLICY: "WE PROTECT THE BORDER BY OURSELVES"
Another open field of confrontation between conservative, and therefore strictly oppositional Republicans with the Biden administration is the southern border. Under Trump, with great difficulties, but nevertheless they built the wall, even in the 2021 budget they managed to shove $ 2 billion to continue building the wall on the Mexican border. Compared to the trillions Biden is now scattering "for all the good things," this is, of course, a trifle, but still ...
Now everything is different. Biden appointed his vice-chief Kamala Harris "extreme" for the southern border and related issues, but her staff cleverly shielded the potential "elevator passenger" from this role. Instead, Harris went public in Guatemala and that was it. And the crisis on the southern border was growing.
The construction of barriers on the border was stopped. The camps of illegal immigrants were again moved to the United States (not all, however, but it was not Biden's initiative), outbreaks of covid began there, people began to let go ... green ") needs.
And then the state of Texas rebelled, which still accounts for the vast majority of illegal US border crossings. Governor Gregg Abbott has sent a national guard to the border - in the United States, it is subordinate to the governors, not the federal authorities. Moreover, he asked for help from other states - to send law enforcement officers and national guards to help the "state of the lonely star."
And the conservative states responded. Florida, Nebraska and Iowa have dispatched contingents of their own (mostly SWAT) police to Texas. The issue of mobilizing the National Guard of these states is also being considered. And now South Dakota is sending a contingent of its National Guard to Texas. Everything to seal the southern border.
Christy Noem is not a "governor", but a real governor of South Dakota, a tough woman with principles. She became the first to send paramilitaries to help Texas. Perhaps her experience will be supported by other heads of US regions.
And then it will become another problem for Biden. Not only are electoral laws being passed at the state level to ensure that the voter's identity is verified (whether by mail or in person) in defiance of the federal bill stuck in Congress, but now the National Guards are not acting on orders from the White House. Strictly speaking, according to the constitution, they should act this way, but this is already a complete imbalance in public administration.
So, of course, Biden did not reconcile or unite anyone. Unless in the stories of CNN. A tough struggle is going on, still threatening a hot phase of a new civil war.
