Elon Musk Criticizes Biden Administration for Allowing 320,000 Migrants to Enter the US Without Full Screening
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has voiced his concerns about the Biden administration’s handling of immigration, specifically criticizing the government for allowing 320,000 migrants to enter the United States without comprehensive vetting. Musk suggested that such practices could potentially lay the groundwork for security threats greater than those experienced on September 11, 2001.
In a statement on the social media platform X, Musk highlighted the risks associated with not thoroughly vetting individuals entering the country, asserting that it could only be a matter of time before the U.S. faces significant terrorist threats. He further commented on the implications of these actions on national security and electoral integrity, expressing concerns that the administration’s policies could be seen as an effort to import voters while compromising national security through the admission of unvetted migrants.
Musk also touched upon the debate surrounding voter ID laws, suggesting that opposition to these requirements by some groups could undermine the integrity of the voting process. His remarks come amid ongoing discussions on election reform and voter identification laws, with 36 states currently requiring some form of identification to vote. However, 14 states, including New York, California, and Washington, D.C., do not require any documentation for voting, a point of contention between Democratic and Republican lawmakers.
Recent reports indicate that over the past year, the Biden administration has facilitated the arrival of at least 320,000 migrants through a controversial program using the Customs and Border Patrol’s CBP One app. This app was designed to allow migrants to apply for parole into the U.S., but specifics regarding the origins of these flights and the migrants’ backgrounds have not been disclosed publicly.
The Center for Immigration Studies has raised concerns about the lack of transparency surrounding these operations, suggesting that the secrecy could pose risks to public safety and law enforcement. A lawsuit has been filed seeking to halt the use of the CBP One app for these purposes, citing legal doubts about the program’s continuation.
Musk, who has previously expressed his views on immigration policies and visited the southern border of the U.S., shared an anecdote about encountering individuals crossing the border with criminal indicators. His comments reflect a broader concern about the implications of current immigration policies on national security and the electoral process.
