Illegal immigration is a hot-button topic that's on everyone's lips in the U.S., even catching the attention of billionaires like Elon Musk.

Amidst the Biden administration's handling of the border crisis, Elon questions the motivation behind pursuing U.S. citizenship when those entering illegally appear to reap even more benefits.

In a fiery Twitter rant, Musk highlighted the paradox where those who enter the country illegally still manage to secure mortgages, bank loans, healthcare, driver's licenses, and insurance. It's a valid point that Elon raises, echoing the sentiments of many Americans.

“If you’re wondering why housing is so expensive, this is a major contributor,” he added.

With a lack of housing contributing to the issue, the cost of homes in the nation hit a record high in November and interest rates have played a part as well.

I felt more at home in Poland when I went there a few years ago. Even flipped the bird at the US Embassy in Warsaw when they were flying the gay flag there.

Our ancestors left their home countries because of religious persecution and tyranny… 🤔

So you don’t think these illegals will be handed a ballot?

Maybe not. There is a risk that they won't fill it out right. So a reliable deep state hire may fill it out on their behalf instead.

It’s more like a millstone of taxation over your neck until you die. Renunciation doesn’t even help from what I hear.

Anyone, alive or dead or totally made up, can vote early and vote often. Ain’t America great?
