Elon Musk Arrives At The Texas-Mexico Border
The post came just a day after Musk traveled to the Texas-Mexico border in Eagle Pass. While sharing pictures from the trip, Musk voiced his complaints about immigration in America. "US Border Patrol just reported the highest number of recorded illegal immigrants in history at over 260,000 this month. The full number, including unrecorded, may be over half a million per month, which is the population of Wyoming," he said.

While replying to a user who suggested the U.S. hire more judges and lawyers to process the immigrants, Musk shot down the idea. "We need a greatly simplified process and at least some evidence for asylum," he began. "Right now, no evidence at all is required. Just say the magic phrase 'I seek asylum' and you’re in. There simply aren’t enough qualified judges in the country to hire. The wait is 5 to 7 years! And, even if the case is lost, there is almost no repatriation. Btw, the officials at the border say that things were sensible under Obama, so this is not just an R vs D issue. They said open borders started 2 years ago."
