The CEO of Twitter and tech tycoon Elon Musk is speaking out against the cruel border issue in the United States. His critical remarks highlight the need for additional public attention to this urgent subject.
Elon Musk made a statement about the flow of immigrants entering the United States without appropriate authority on December 19. He drew attention to a Harvard study that found most Americans were unaware of the sheer number of persons undertaking this trek.

The typical American voter overestimates the problem at the border between the United States and Mexico, while underestimating illegal crossings by a ratio of ten to one, according to a new study by Harvard’s CAPS and HarrisX.
Few individuals correctly guessed how much the number of illegal border crossings has increased during President Joe Biden’s Administration, according to the most recent Harvard CAPS/Harris survey. In truth, this number is far greater than what the majority of respondents anticipated—the median prediction was between 250,000 and 500,000 every year.
Authorities have found a concerning number of illegal immigrants, totaling more than 2.75 million during the course of a 12-month period ending in September 2022 – a rise of more than 1 million from the previous year.
With a 67 percent majority in support of such measures, respondents made it very apparent that they are ready for the Biden administration to step up and implement tighter laws on illegal immigration.
The @EndWokeness account tweeted the information, which prompted Musk to respond, “Why is this never in the news?”
In a video that was recently shared by Texas state representative Tony Gonzales and Fox News reporter Bill Melguin, Elon Musk brought attention to the plight of migrants. The video shows a horribly overcrowded Border Patrol processing facility and emphasizes how important better immigration policies are to our society.
“Congressman Gonzales says he took the video on Friday, when 4,600 migrants were in federal custody. Capacity is only 1,040,” The video has captions by Melguin.
Musk responded with his own remark: “Why do so few report about millions of people crossing the border?”
Tuesday, House Republicans posted a footage of Gonzales’ CBS interview. “Face the Nation” in which he spoke about the scenario inside the El Paso, Texas, Border Patrol Central Processing Center, where he shot the video.
“There’s one bathroom, the odor is terrible,” he said. “Outside just above the hill, there’s a thousand, a little over 1,000 migrants waiting in outdoor conditions, not to mention the people that are waiting by the bridge and elsewhere.”
“It’s a very dire situation in El Paso,” he said, adding, “We’re not even at the worst of it yet.”
1,500 illegal immigrants were sighted crossing the border in El Paso recently, which is one of the largest single-day totals ever reported for this area.
This week, an unprecedented rush of illegal immigrants crossed the traditionally guarded El Paso Sector of the U.S.-Mexico border, with over 1,600 per day being documented across a 268-mile stretch. These numbers show that the strain on this part of the national border is unprecedented, and it is necessary to keep a close eye out for any future crises.
Vice President Kamala Harris has stated that the border is secure even though the number of persons apprehended crossing it illegally has almost quadrupled since Biden took office. “secure,” while accusing the previous government of President Donald Trump for a “broken immigration system.”
“There is no question that we have to do what the president and I asked Congress to do. The first request we made: pass a bill to create a pathway to citizenship,” In a recent interview with NBC, Harris—whom Biden named to the White House as a point of contact for border surges—discussed matters pertaining to her new position.
“The border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system and particular[ly] over the last four years before we came in and it needs to be fixed,” she added.
Despite requests from Republicans, President Biden has chosen to stay out of the border situation. He is addressing the issue and looking for answers through other ways instead of paying a visit in person.
In response to a question on the president’s trip to Arizona at the beginning of December from a reporter at a White House briefing, Biden said: “Because there are more important things going on. They’re going to invest billions of dollars in the new enterprise in the state,” He made this statement in reference to Taiwanese investment in a Phoenix chip manufacturing site.
Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki observed that Biden has not been to the border since 2008, which was before he even became vice president.
“He did drive through the border when he was on the campaign trail in 2008. And he is certainly familiar with the fact—and it stuck with him—with the fact that in El Paso, the border goes right through the center of town,” On October 22, 2021, Psaki said at a briefing at the White House.
Americans must now decide how to effectively handle irregular border crossings as Title 42, a Trump-era regulation that attempted to reduce illegal immigration by limiting asylum petitions, is likely to expire in the near future.
An immigration regulation published by the Trump administration in 2020 was applied more than 2.5 million times as a means to deny admission for asylum applicants globally in reaction to the emergence of COVID-19.
On the cusp of winter, a federal court in Washington issued an order saying that Title 42 immigration regulations that had been put in place because of COVID-19 would end on December 21. This decision was further bolstered by the denial of a Republican state’s petition to keep the measures in place.
In an unusual move on Monday, 19 Republican-governed states appealed directly to the US Supreme Court in an effort to defend Title 42 against legal challenges and maintain its crucial function of safeguarding national security interests overseas.
The top court concurred, and Chief Justice John Roberts issued a preliminary injunction. “administrative stay” That gives Title 42 an extension of time while the justices examine the multi-state motion, putting the lower court’s ruling on hold.
DHS anticipated a possible increase in border crossings to as high as 14,000 per day after Trump-era limitations would be eased as the Dec. 21 expiration date of Title 42 drew near.
As the limits imposed by the Trump administration come to an end, DHS unveiled their extensive six-pillar strategy designed to handle any upcoming difficulties. This comprehensive and well-organized policy includes many actions designed to protect our country in the future.
The suggested strategy is intended to promptly deal with the flow of unauthorized immigrants at our southern border while simultaneously penalizing traffickers. It involves expedited processing, the installation of temporary detention tents, more manpower, and improved nonprofit organization capacity to accept people after processing. Additionally, anybody implicated in human smuggling is anticipated to face criminal charges.
Several Democratic strongholds have been overrun by illegal immigrants as legal challenges go on, and they are now pleading for federal assistance in emergency declarations.
On December 18th, Mayor Eric Adams issued a warning that, without the protection of Title 42, an increase in illegal immigration might cause New York City’s budget to become unmanageably burdensome. If action is not done promptly, discretionary public services may suffer as a consequence.
In response to the escalating humanitarian situation brought on by an inflow of immigrants from the southern border, Denver declared a state of emergency on December 15; this sparked controversy amongst supporters and opponents on all sides of the political spectrum.
El Paso, a border city long associated with Democratic ideals, declared a state of emergency after migrant crossings reached new heights, leading to people sleeping outside due to overcrowding in shelters.
