Elon Musk is making a bold assertion, claiming that President Joe Biden’s border strategy since taking office is aimed at deliberately allowing as many illegal immigrants as possible into the country.
According to Musk, the ultimate goal is to subsequently legalize these immigrants through legislative reforms, thereby securing a permanent majority for the Democratic Party and establishing a rule of the country as a “one-party state.”
Musk presented his case in a post on X dated February 2, where he examined President Biden’s initial actions after assuming office on January 20, 2021. The tech entrepreneur characterized this approach as “simple, yet effective” in ensuring enduring Democratic dominance.
On President Biden’s inaugural day, he introduced the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, a move that immediately generated controversy due to its provisions, including pathways to citizenship for approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants. Musk’s argument suggests a strategic plan by the Biden administration to reshape the demographic landscape through immigration policies, ultimately tilting the political balance in favor of the Democratic Party for the long term.
The proposal, initially introduced in the House of Representatives during the 117th Congress, faced a stalemate and ultimately lapsed. However, a modified rendition resurfaced in May 2023 as the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2023, yet it continues to be entangled in committee discussions.
Both iterations of President Biden’s immigration reform bill, past and present, outline pathways to citizenship for a substantial number of undocumented immigrants, encompassing DREAMers and agricultural workers. Despite these legislative endeavors, the Biden administration’s efforts to confer citizenship upon illegal immigrants have encountered hurdles due to staunch Republican opposition.
Coinciding with the legislative gridlock, the Biden administration has grappled with an unprecedented surge in illegal border crossings, reaching historic highs. This juxtaposition underscores the challenges faced by the administration in reconciling immigration policy with the current political landscape.
Accusations from Republicans and various critics assert that the Biden administration deliberately maintains lax border security, suggesting an intentional strategy to admit more illegal immigrants for perceived political advantages.
President Biden, along with administration officials, vehemently denies these allegations, countering that Republicans are exploiting the border crisis for political gain. They accuse Republicans of obstructing genuine immigration reform through legislative channels, portraying it as a cynical maneuver.
Elon Musk, emerging as a prominent critic of the Biden administration’s approach to the illegal immigration issue, outlined what he characterizes as President Biden’s Machiavellian strategy on border-related matters in his recent post on X.
“Biden’s strategy is very simple,” Mr. Musk wrote.
First, “get as many illegals in the country as possible,” and second, “legalize them to create a permanent majority—a one-party state,” he continued.
“That is why they are encouraging so much illegal immigration. Simple, yet effective,” he wrote.
Elon Musk continued in a follow-up post by saying that the strategy he described earlier “explains why there are so few deportations, as every deportation is a lost vote.”
“As happened this week, you can literally assault police officers in broad daylight in New York, be released with no bail, give everyone the finger and *still* not be deported,” he wrote.
“Outrageous,” he charged.
