The state department really saying the quiet part out loud, so this is a reminder that the ideology of the state department resulted in the Chinese exclusion act, an immigration policy so disgustingly evil that Hitler called it “inspirational”
The state department also has not had any meaningful reform since that time, leading to the unsurprising mindset of “this is the first time we will have a great power competitor that is not caucasian.”
CONTENT WARNING: Quote from Hitler
“(America is) the leader in developing explicitly racist policies of nationality and immigration” it was his only example of a country that “already pays obeisance, at least in tentative first steps, to the characteristic völkisch” [racial nationalism/ conception of the state.] “(There is) currently one state in which one can observe at least weak beginnings of a better conception. This is of course not our exemplary German Republic, but the American Union, in which an effort is being made to consider the dictates of reason to at least some extent. The American Union categorically refuses the immigration of physically unhealthy elements, and simply excludes the immigration of certain races.”
Bold of you to assume the US won't Balkanise within those 50 years

I'm not american so can't comment on regional stuff but from an outsider perspective a split on political lines / further autonomy for states to sell themselves off to private businesses could become a soft splintering
