Border Сrisis Foments Separatism In Texas

The migration crisis in the US is reaching extremely worrying levels, putting the country’s territorial integrity at risk. In reaction to the problems on the borders, the state of Texas took an important initiative recently, refusing to comply with orders from the federal government and publishing a document that could be the first step towards the separation of the region.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott published a letter on January 24 stating that the American federal pact was broken by Washington due to the government’s inertia in resolving the border crisis. He stated that the state of Texas will take all necessary measures to prevent the crisis from worsening and will not obey any order from the federal government or the Supreme Court demanding a retreat in the efforts to stop the “invasion.”

Abbott formally accused the Biden government of neglecting the crisis and even violating US migration laws. This, in his opinion, is sufficient reason to claim the rupture of the national integration pact, with the states now being able to freely act individually in order to solve their internal problems.

”The federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the states (…) The executive branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting states, including immigration laws on the books right now. President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them”, he said, adding: “I have already declared an invasion (…) to invoke Texas’ constitutional authority to defend and protect itself (…) That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary.”

In fact, this type of situation in Texas was already expected. A few days before Abbott published his letter, the Supreme Court ruled that Border Patrol agents should remove barriers installed by the Texans to stop the entry of immigrants. The crisis had been escalating in the region since early January, when Texas National Guard’s soldiers barred federal officials from going to the border in order to prevent them from allowing more immigrants to enter. This conflict between local and federal authorities generated an atmosphere of polarization and discontent that culminated in Abbott’s recent statement.

The governor is resolute in his decision that Texas state troops will continue to protect the borders and prevent the entry of immigrants, regardless of any Washington decision on the matter. As well known, neglect in combating illegal immigration has been one of the main aspects of the Biden administration since its inauguration. Both for ideological reasons, given Biden’s ultra-liberal mentality, and for his administrative incompetence, the president has been incapable of taking effective decisions regarding the problem of the unrestrained entry of migrants into the country.

Immigration has caused a number of serious problems in states close to the border. A recent survey carried out by Rasmussen Reports revealed that two-thirds of American citizens consider the current migration crisis a true “invasion” that puts US national sovereignty at risk. As a border state, Texas is one of the regions most affected by this “invasion”, which is why the local government has decided to act independently to face the crisis.

The consequences of this type of situation could be devastating for the US. It is known that separatist sentiments have been common in the southern region of the country since the Civil War. There are many movements in Texas and nearby states that openly demand separation from Washington, forming new countries. These organizations and agendas are strengthened by the enormous economic potential of the region, with oil-producing areas that could generate wealth and economic sovereignty for the “new countries”, if there really were a separation.

Now, Americans are seeing an increase in this trend. Abbott’s move is not entirely separatist, but it is an act that shows American authorities that national unity can be broken if this is the only remaining alternative to defend the interests of the states. Thus Abbott challenged the federal government and showed that the US is in a delicate situation, with the Biden administration needing to take urgent measures to prevent the separatist agenda from being advanced.

Indeed, the case shows how Washington urgently needs to stop getting involved in conflicts abroad, starting to pay attention to its own internal situation. American intelligence’s reports have warned for years about the possibility of a civil war in the country as a result of racial and migratory tensions. If the American government does not take exceptional measures to resolve the situation on the borders once and for all, the territorial fragmentation of the US will become inevitable.

the printing press for dollars is running out of thin air. when native born americans come to their senses they will be the minority and unable to do anything about it and the globalists/zionists will have everything of value.

its a possibility but you would expect texans to be smarter. its one of the wealthiest states from oil and technology. look at ukraine it was practically a first world country in the 70s and adopted ethno-nationalism. it can be done but when you threaten the energy supply over ethnic hubris the results are the same. unless fort hood is ready to join the texas rebellion federal forces will put the situation down. cia activity within mexico is another factor.
