Elon Musk on illegal migrants in US

On Wednesday, Elon Musk slammed Biden over his failure to take “preventive action” against illegal migrants in the US. According to Elon Musk, around “2 million” people are entering through the US border every year. 

Tech billionaire’s comments came in response to images and videos of ‘mass illegal crossing’ at the Eagle Pass, a city in Texas, shared by reporter Bill Melugin. Musk wrote on Melugin’s post, “Strange that there is almost no legacy media coverage of this. The number is rising rapidly, yet no preventive action is taken by the current administration.” He directly condemned the Biden administration over illegal immigration in the country.

In a viral video, thousands of migrants were seen crossing into the United States. They were casually walking towards the US border.
