On Thursday, tech billionaire Elon Musk accused the Biden administration of “actively facilitating illegal immigration” into the United States — citing data on President Joe Biden’s historic border crisis.
Musk — CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, as well as the owner of X, formerly known as Twitter — made the comments in response to a graph shared on X showing the massive difference in illegal alien encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border between the last three presidential administrations: former President Barack Obama, former President Donald Trump, and Biden.
The graph clearly showed a massive increase in encounters under Biden, as well as apprehensions — although illegal aliens who are “apprehended” under the Biden administration are quickly released into the U.S. interior. The graph also included data for expulsions, which showed a significant decrease under Biden.
By all available metrics, this administration's border policy is a disaster. Monthly Encounters have averaged:
– 98,000 for the two previous administrations.
– 242,000 for the Biden border.In fact, the flood of humans entering is so vast that Apprehensions alone now exceed… pic.twitter.com/i6ycFxlMK7

According to Musk, this data shows that the Biden administration is actually aiding in the illegal alien invasion of the United States.
“At this point, there is no question that this administration is actively facilitating illegal immigration,” he wrote. “The numbers speak for themselves.”

After one user asked Musk “why” he believes the Biden administration would facilitate illegal immigration, the tech billionaire responded: “They view them as future Dem voters.”

This was not Musk’s first post on the subject of illegal immigration. He has been outspoken on the subject for some time now, though even more so in recent days.
Musk also shared a post from popular X user “KanekoaTheGreat” that listed the number of illegal aliens encountered by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) each fiscal year since 2010 — with the most recent year, fiscal year 2023, being a staggering 3,201,144.
Musk shared the post, commenting that under Biden, “There are almost no deportations.”

He also shared a shocking video posted by former Rep. Mayra Flores (R-TX), which the former congresswoman captioned: “The largest migrant caravan of 2023 known as the ‘poverty exodus,’ has recently departed from Southern Mexico, comprising approximately 15,000 individuals from 24 countries en route to the US border.”
“The public should be made aware of this,” Musk wrote, sharing the post.
