Politicians in the United States are more concerned about the Ukrainian border than their own border with Mexico, billionaire Elon Musk said on his X (formerly Twitter) account.
“Why is it that so many American politicians from both parties care about the Ukrainian border a hundred times more than the US border?” - he wrote. According to the entrepreneur, the situation with the American border is “getting worse every day.”
On September 28, Musk came to Eagle Pass, Texas, which is located on the border with Mexico, to “see what’s really going on.” “Everything is live, without filters. What you see is what I see,” he said during the X broadcast.
Musk noted that, “being an immigrant myself,” he takes a “very pro-immigrant position.” “I believe we need a bigger immigration system so that anyone who is hardworking, honest and can contribute to the country can get in legally,” he said. Meanwhile, the billionaire emphasized that those who break the law should not be allowed into the United States.
As Reuters reported , there is a new influx of migrants at the US-Mexico border.
The agency, citing data from the Mexican side, wrote that in the first half of September, more than 142 thousand migrants arrived at the border - this is more than monthly in previous months. There has been an increase in the number of people crossing the border illegally. Against the backdrop of these events, a state of emergency was declared in the Texas border town of Eagle Pass.

To prevent a sharp influx of migrants against the background of the lifting of these restrictions, the authorities introduced new ones. For example, migrants were required to make appointments to enter legal border crossings, otherwise it would be more difficult for them to obtain asylum. The CBP One mobile app is used for recording.
