Elon Wonders What’s The Point of Being an American Citizen If Illegal Aliens Get All the Benefits

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.

The main benefit that Elon missed: As a citizen, you can vote.

(ba-da-bing!)

At this point, I aspire to possibly moving up to the status of Second Class Citizen. My current status is right down in the mud.

Same thing I have been thinking. Maybe we should all go to Mexico and walk across the border and claim we are escapting tyranny from our home country.

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.

Elon Wonders What’s The Point of Being an American Citizen If Illegal Aliens Get All the Benefits, while at the same time conservatives in the Senate send our tax dollars to foreign governments for wars.

The real question is, why should I be paying taxes to fund these parasites?

We will NOT be voting our way out of this.

Lets see - DEAD people have been voting Democrat for decades. All votes are accepted and voter ID is racist. Provisional ballots that were unverifiable routinely lean Democrat 99% of the time. Democrat cities are passing laws to allow illegals to vote only in local, yea right, wink wink elections.

Yep, Elon is over the target again.

“As a citizen, you can vote.”

And you can pretend it will count.

It’s getting to the point where escaping in a balloon may be the only option.

I remember when that was just a joke in a movie......

Now, I could maybe get in a balloon and land in Canada.

Which I hoped would be a backup plan. But then, Justin TruCastro happened....

Why in the world are illegalinvadingputzs being afforded more than American military veterans are being afforded, even though the veteran can vote?

ABSOLUTELY

Just as long as no American taxpayer money goes to help American taxpayers, it's all good with the Uniparty.

There is no incentive for young Americans to enter the military service when the country is being given away freely to all invaders. The homeland has been cheapened and its value to serve it has declined.
