Elon Musk posted footage of his trip to Eagle pass at the U.S. southern border and spoke with officials about The border crisis.
Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Tex.) spoke to Musk on camera as they witnessed “hundreds of people being processed” under a bridge.
He noted this happens every day and that the group displayed will be sent to another larger processing center.
Gonzales stated, “It’s non-stop all day long.”
He expressed concerns that border patrol agents have brought to him regarding the process.
He said they are being tied up at the intake centers and would like to be “out in the field” catching “bad actors.”
Musk discussed with Gonzales how “nothing is being done at the federal level.”
Gonzales also noted, “Many people who are seeking asylum are not going to qualify for asylum.”
He explained how the lack of immigration law enforcement is encouraging more illegal immigrants to cross the border.
Both expressed support for legal immigration pathways to help hard-working individuals come to the U.S. to work and be a part of society, but Musk also noted seeing “some pretty extreme individuals coming through” illegally under the current policy.
