Elon Musk's Concerns and Firsthand Account of the Migrant Crisis at the Texas-Mexico Border

Elon Musk visited the Texas border with Mexico to meet with local politicians and law enforcement, gaining an "unfiltered" view of the immigration situation. Musk called for an expedited legal approval process and a greatly expanded legal immigration system that welcomes hard-working and honest migrants while barring entry for those breaking the law. He emphasized the need to balance legal immigration and prevent a collapse of social services. Musk, who identifies as an immigrant himself, has increasingly involved himself in American politics and has a significant interest in the Texas economy with Tesla's Gigafactory and SpaceX's testing facility in the state.
