Musk supports border wall, and reasons for asylum claims
Tech billionaire Elon Musk said Wednesday that he supports a border wall, saying migrants need to produce a "shred of evidence" to receive asylum in the United States.
"We actually do need a wall, and we need to require people to have some shred of evidence to claim asylum to enter, as everyone is doing that," Musk said in a X post on Wednesday evening.
The owner of Tesla, SpaceX and X — formerly known as Twitter — argued that gaining asylum status after illegally crossing the southern border is as easy as a quick Google search.
"It’s a hack that you can literally Google to know exactly what to say!" he added.
In the previous thread, Musk jumped into the conversation about Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy discussing the border crisis amid the impending government shutdown.
"But if you paid attention last night to what happened to the border yesterday, 11,000 people came across illegally. That's 50,000 in just the last five days," McCarthy told reporters. "And you've got the governor of New York and the governor of Massachusetts declaring a state of emergency. The president can take action, the presidency can do something here that would really us keep the government open but at the same time secure our border."
Musk replied to the video, saying that the border crisis is "not a partisan issue."
"The (USA) border needs to be secured. This is not a partisan issue — even the elected Democrat Party leaders of New York are saying this is a severe crisis," Musk said.
"Will find out more when I visit Eagle Pass maybe as soon as tomorrow," he concluded, hinting to his promised visit to the border.

The problem is that we have the most irresponsible president in history in office now. It is going to take removing Biden from office to get control of the border. It is also going to take voting against Democrats who support this insane policy. It is clear from polling that the majority of US citizens oppose Biden's open borders policy.

U.S. Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens “told us not to even think about it, that the numbers are not going to drop,” El Paso County Judge Ricardo Samaniego said on Tuesday. “He told us he will support us and also that the numbers will go up. What they are seeing is the increase in people crossing from Colombia to the (Darian) gap.”
Samaniego said the migrants have made a tremendous financial and emotional commitment that they are unlikely to turn back. “They’re not going to go back to Colombia, they are going to come through all the way. Those numbers are increasingly very rapidly,” he said.

Venezuelan migrant Diego, who came to Juarez on top of a train, said he was heartened by some of his relatives being allowed into El Paso and released from CBP custody a few days later. He said that is one of the reasons why he decided to attempt his crossing now and said many other of his countrymen are on the way from southern Mexico after hearing those stories.
“It is a matter of luck,” said Venezuelan asylum-seeker Adriana Urena. “We have been here for a month, and I have a cousin who crossed the Darien (gap). We were waiting for a (CBP One app) appointment but that’s not an option anymore. Many people don’t have the resources to continue waiting.”
