Political experts and analysts unanimously agreed that the current escalation between the American President Donald Trump AndCalifornia state It represents an unprecedented constitutional crisis in American history.
They warned that it threatens the foundations of the federal system, and raises serious questions about the boundaries of the presidential authority and the constitutional rights of the states.
The city of Los Angeles witnessed an escalation began with raids and arrests carried out by the federal authorities against immigrants, and developed into violent confrontations between the protesters and the police.
According to Al -Jazeera correspondent Nasser Al -Husseini from Los Angeles, the events witnessed the participation of groups in thousands of immigrants and citizens who reject the policy of deportation, arrest and raids that the president started.
The situation has evolved dangerously when many immigrant youth joined the protests, expressing their anger at attacking the authorities.
This escalation, according to Al -Husseini, transformed the demonstrations from peaceful political protests into real demonstrations and riots that included burning police cars and attacking the shops, prompting the local authorities to impose a gathering ban in the city center.
Based on these field developments, the journalist specializing in American affairs, Muhammad Al -Minshawi, believes that what is happening is not surprising at all, but rather reflects a calculated strategy from President Trump.
He explained that the president believes that he is implementing what was assigned to most of the voters during the second referee, as he promised during the election period to be very harsh in dealing with illegal (regular) immigrants.
Piden error correction
The writer also pointed out that Trump is trying to correct what he sees as a big mistake from the administration of his predecessor جهني Opening the border wide to the immigrants.
He pointed to another ideological dimension, “Trump sees himself and his deputy JD Vans The only officials elected from the whole people “and this gives him a” Pharaonic “feeling in the size of the authorities he wants to do.
This perception of the presidential authority reflects Trump’s desire to “amplify” the executive apparatus of the state and the executive authority he heads, according to the writer.
Based on this understanding of public motives, the professor of political science, Dr. Abdullah Al -Shayji, believes that the relationship between Trump and California goes beyond political differences to reach the level of personal conflict.
He explained that Trump has a knot towards California and the states governed by those who belong to the Democratic Party.
California represents a special challenge for Trump for several objective reasons, as it is – as the academic indicates – the most important and largest state in national income, as it contributes to federal taxes of the government with 50 billion dollars.
Moreover, more than a third of the population of California was not born inside the state, and the most population of the population speaks in their homes, making it a symbol of multicultural America that Trump opposes ideologically.
Constitutional violation
In light of this personal and ideological conflict, Dr. Al -Shayji explained that Trump based – in sending federal forces to Los Angeles – to the 1807 law that allows the president to send federal forces to help the state if it needs to control security and confront those who threaten peace and security.
But – as Al -Shaji asserts – he is neither the governor of the state nor the city’s mayor, nor the sheriff of Los Angeles Province, they asked this from Trump, which makes sending the forces a clear constitutional violation.
He explained that this violation is not merely a procedural dispute, but rather affects the essence of the federal system. The constitution separates in the tenth amendment powers of the state, the federal government is not entitled to bypass it constitutionally, but Trump “strikes the width of the wall” with these constitutional restrictions.
In a context related to this constitutional violation, economic figures reveal flagrant contradictions in Trump’s policies.
According to the Labor Statistics Office, Trump’s plan to expel immigrants will incur a trillion dollars in decades in the form of lost wages, slow production and decline in consumption.
In California alone, immigrants who are not documented with 8.5 billion dollars contribute annual taxes and are part of the state’s domestic product, which represents 14% of the US GDP, and Trump will need $ 80 billion to implement this plan.
These numbers raise serious questions about Trump’s economic logic – as Dr. Al -Shaiji indicates – this escalation occurs at a time when it is in war with billionaires. Elon MuskAnd war with major American universities, and is fighting many wars with the countries of the world with regard to customs duties.
As a result of these exorbitant economic costs, Al -Shayji explains that many Americans feel remorse, especially Latinians of Mexican origin, as they elected Trump.
Ideological motives
To understand the radical reasons behind this behavior, despite its economic and political costs, the ideology that Trump moves – according to Al -Minshawi – who went to say that Trump is only governed by personal warrants and special interests, and since he does not have other future elections, he does not care about what the citizen suffers.
Trump’s ideological vision is the implementation of the right -wing agenda, and the “great America” that he means is the white America that speaks English and has very few immigrants.
The writer pointed out that this vision pushes Trump to consider that what the former president did from leaving the door was open to irregular migration was aimed at changing the American population.
In turn, Al -Shayji warned that the long -term repercussions of this conflict may be catastrophic on the American political system, stressing that what is happening that strikes the federal, democratic constitutional system that was promoted as the model for the rule of world affairs.
He also pointed out that the greatest danger is the possibility of developing the situation towards separatist movements, especially since the iron fist by Trump has a kind of chauvinism and the confiscation of the right of the state, and this frightening development is reminded of the crises that preceded the American Civil War, according to Al -Shaiji.
