Krystian Kamiński about the U.S. situation in the context of illegal immigrants storming the Texas border and the upcoming presidential election.
Krystian Kamiński on page X: The U.S. ultimate Court has decided that the national Border defender has the right to destruct barbed wire on border dams installed on them by the Texas State authorities. The wire appeared there at the initiative of the state authorities, as a means of obstructing the illegal crossing of the Mexican border, which over the last years has become the threshold of entry for the real wandering of peoples who are moving from south to north through the western hemisphere. It is Texas that is by far the longest section of the confederate border of the United States, so the issue of illegal migration is peculiarly acute for this state.
The ultimate Court is hard to describe in the US the "third power" due to the fact that this example shows that it is simply a primary power, due to the fact that the strategy grants it a quasi-aristocratic function of authoritative decision-making of direct political importance. The court issued its decision at the request of president Joe Biden's administration, who considered specified a way of protecting the border that the Texas authorities had taken as inhumane, due to the fact that it was intended to contribute to injury and even the death of any migrants. Admittedly, this is not a groundless view. Indeed, in the case of a desperate effort to break through, specified a barrier may put a desperate individual in danger. However, the American Liberals have taken the position that life, or the wellness of specified a migrant and criminal is more crucial than the sovereignty of the state to legislate and enforce a state border.
Meanwhile, the politician of Texas felt the exact opposite. Greg Abbott publically stated that the ultimate Court's decision would neglect and will proceed to install barbed wire on the Mexican border. He called upon the services subject to his archetypal republican, to disobey national officers, or even to interfere, and then take full control of the border. It has besides been reported that local national officials are not on fire to follow orders from the president and the ultimate Court, and any of them identify with the governor's political course. US Customs and Border Protection explicitly stated that it "does not plan to" remove fences from barbed wire from the border. A typical of this service cited a "strong" relation with Texas, despite a dispute with Washington.
This course has been going on for 3 years, as Abbott announced in 2021 the Operation "Lone Star", a mass engagement under his authority, including the most militarized National Guard, to defend the state and state borders. On the scale of migration pressure, the Texas services have made half a million detentions of persons entering the United States illegally for 3 years. For Biden's half-time term, not hundreds of thousands have arrived in the US, but millions of illegal immigrants – according to authoritative data at least 3.1 million, but may be underestimated. We are dealing with a advanced wave of migrants from South America, and mainly Central America, but the situation is besides being exploited by migrants from rather different parts of the world. After all, the subject of providing free travel to Mexico for citizens of African and Asian states changed and in the Polish visa scandal, which broke out on the counter of the activity of deputy minister of abroad affairs of the PiS government Piotr W.
Abbott himself entered the function of the ultimate Court by interpreting the flood of illegal migration as an invasion, a defence against which is the primary constitutional work of state authorities. In fact, he received clear support from Republican governors equally half the states – the 25th Florida, which is ruled by 1 of the more extremist Republicans Ron DeSantis can send soldiers of his own Republican defender to aid Texas Guards, to this end a change of state law was initiated, which so far allowed the usage of the defender only in Florida's territory.
There have already been voices in the Democratic organization that central authorities simply take direct control of the Texas National Guard. Abbott considered this to be a "small probable event", at the same time, confidently declaring himself prepared for specified a improvement of events whatever that would mean.
That's it. It escalates polarization for a long time undermining the stableness and control of the United States. Polarisation is evidenced by the fact that the ultimate Court decision mentioned was taken by a majority of 5 judges against four. The situation in this body, as in lens, focuses on the image of the modern United States and their societies.
It reflects cultural and racial polarisationThe 1 that spilled years ago with the Black Live substance movement. Socio-economic polarisation, manifested by progressive wealth fragmentation and fall of the mediate class, portrayed for decades as the salt of American land and a pillar of the political system. Cereal polarisationand, stimulated by the ent generation of increasingly fanatical in the invention of ever-new position rewinds of feminists. Regional polarisation, countering the rustling states of the erstwhile conventional industry, exported by the large capitalists and liberal politics to China, India or another Asian countries against the enriching digital and service centres of the East and West coast. Civilization polarization between spiritual groups believing in natural law, and postmodernists questioning the nature of man and any nonsubjective nature of existence, not only social structures but even biological ones, like LGBT movement.
All this has long been estranged in the political process, and its faulty procedures, with absurdly differentiated electoral procedures, have added quite a few oil to the fire of non-recognition by US residents from various groups of citizens with whom dialog is possible for any common good alternatively of complete marginalization of opponents. A situation where each state determines the executive procedures for voting and counting votes is an excellent regulation for chaos involving the hazard of confusion or abuse and manipulation, with the anticipation of falsifying the outcome. The first serious problems with this occurred nearly a 4th century ago, during George Bush's contested triumph over Ale Gore. This general socio-political polarization, however, took an institutionalized form for the first time, in the sense of confronting 2 institutions of power with each other. In fact, this confrontation has the characteristics of a vervest contrast between the ethics of convictions and the ethics of responsibility, between abstract, and thus easy ad hoc humanitarianism focused on an elective individual, and it is the work for the real-time calculations and the extended social consequences of decisions taken.
This institutionalized polarization occurs at a time erstwhile the U.S. planet position is being undermined as it has not been challenged since the collapse of the russian Union. As I wrote a week ago, the actions of the Yemeni in the Gulf of Aden and in the Red Sea question the very basis of this position – the regulation of Washington on the planet ocean. On Sunday, another allies of Iran attacked an American base in Jordan by killing 3 American soldiers and injuring 25, a clear signal that in Tehran they felt wounded blood, as the Ayatollahs, the enemy, believe. North Korea has already carried out 3 rocket tests within the first period of the fresh year. However, many Poles, especially among those who should be most aware – politicians, journalists, publicists – behave like they are inactive surviving in the planet of the indivisible hegemony of Washington from 30 years ago. Are they so certain of the 1 card they're making us put everything on?
