Elon Musk Claims Triple-Digit Increase in Illegal Immigration in Swing States Ahead of 2024 Election; Biden Responds

Oct 27, 2024, 02:09 AM

Elon Musk has claimed that there has been a significant increase in the number of illegal immigrants in swing states, attributing this trend to the Democratic Party's strategy to potentially influence electoral outcomes. He stated that swing states have experienced triple-digit increases in illegal immigration over the past three years, which he argues is a deliberate effort to shift these states toward Democratic control. Musk further suggested that this 'voter importation' is a tactic to ensure a one-party state in the future. In response, President Joe Biden criticized Musk, highlighting his own immigration history and suggesting that Musk's comments are hypocritical given his past visa violations. Biden described Musk as the richest man in the world, questioning his credibility on immigration issues. The discourse occurs amid the final weeks of the 2024 presidential election, where Musk is reportedly mobilizing resources to support Donald Trump's campaign.
