Elon Musk claims President Biden aims to get as many illegal immigrants into the U.S. as possible, then legalize them for a lasting Democrat majority.
Elon Musk is alleging that President Joe Biden’s overarching strategy on the border since he took office is to let in as many illegal immigrants as possible and then legalize them by legislative reform so as to secure a permanent Democrat majority and rule the country as a “one-party state.”
Mr. Musk laid out the case for this claim in a Feb. 2 post on X, in which the tech entrepreneur offered a look back at President Biden’s first action after assuming office on Jan. 20, 2021, which Mr. Musk said was a “simple, yet effective” strategy to keep Democrats in power forever.
Biden’s strategy is very simple:

1. Get as many illegals in the country as possible.
2. Legalize them to create a permanent majority – a one-party state.

The measure, introduced in the House of Representatives but died with the end of the 117th Congress, was revived in a somewhat modified form in May 2023 as the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2023, which remains stuck in Committee.
Both prior and current versions of President Biden’s immigration reform bill propose pathways to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants, including DREAMers and farm workers.
But as the Biden administration’s legislative efforts to grant citizenship to illegal immigrants have remained in limbo amid Republican opposition, the number of illegal border crossings under President Biden’s watch has soared to record highs.
‘Outrageous’
Republicans and others have accused the Biden administration of being intentionally lax on border security, even precisely so as to let in more illegal immigrants for political benefit.
President Biden and members of his administration have rejected this claim, accusing Republicans of playing politics with the border crisis and of cynically denying the administration the opportunity of meaningful immigration reform by legislative means.
Mr. Musk, who has become an increasingly vocal critic of the Biden administration’s handling of the illegal immigration crisis, laid out in his post on X what he says is President Biden’s nefarious strategy on the border.
“Biden’s strategy is very simple,” Mr. Musk wrote.
