Elon Musk responded to President Biden’s call for a bipartisan Senate deal to address the surge in illegal immigration at the southern border.
Musk criticized the need for new laws, suggesting that an executive order to require proof before granting an asylum hearing would suffice.
He also agreed with others who criticized the administration’s failure to enforce existing laws.
“For everyone who is demanding tougher border control, this is the way to do it,” Biden stated. “If you’re serious about the border crisis, pass a bipartisan bill and I will sign it.”
“No laws need to be passed,” Musk wrote. “All that is needed is an executive order to require proof before granting an asylum hearing. That is how it used to be.”

Despite previously supporting a border wall, Musk now believes it’s unnecessary, claiming that Border Patrol is facilitating illegal entry at scale.
“Building a wall is a red herring,” Musk wrote.
“No wall is needed to fix this situation. Border Patrol is being instructed to facilitate illegal entry at scale into the United States.”
“The fundamental problem is that anyone can claim asylum with zero proof, which means all of Earth can come to America.”
Musk’s visit to the southern border in September provided firsthand insight into the migrant crisis.
