What is happening in US right now? Chance of civil war?
I'm seeing some stuff been thrown around, about the texas state mobilizing their security forces to disobey federal order and something about they wanting to separate.
anyway, what do you think about this?
You're viewing a single thread.
I think the Democrats are unpopular so they've relaxed on migrants (as migrants are more democratic) which is good for migrants but also pretty opportunistic.
Even most democratic voters call the situation at the border "an invasion", which I don't agree with but the fact is Democrats are choosing to change course when it is unpopular in their own camp. Secondly, we all know it's not cause of empathy with migrants, they clearly lack that.
Democrats are trying to maintain power even at the cost of destabilization, Republicans don't want Texas, with it's 38 electoral seats to turn blue. Biden only lost in 2020 by 5%.
Non-citizens can't vote so the migrant issue will not help the democrats at the election. The migrants are being exploited for cheap labour.
Edit: there have been more deportations under Biden than under Trump.
He tried once to give illegal immigrants a path to citizenship. Obama too. Non-citizens can increasingly vote in local elections. And the more of them that come, the easier to pass this. Yes ik that Biden has deported more than Trump, that's what I meant when I said that they haven't been nice to migrants in the last few years. They are also definitely be exploited for cheap labour.
