Elon Musk Reacts To Border Crisis, Says Lacking Media Attention 'Strange'
• Zero HedgeAuthored by Gary Bai via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is reacting to the recording-breaking number of illegal immigrants walking through the Southern border.
The world's richest person was replying to reporting from Fox News's Bill Melugin, who posted on Twitter drone footage of a group of hundreds of illegal immigrants crossing the Southern border at Eagle Pass, Texas, into the United States.
In his post, Melugin cited Customs and Border Protection (CBP) statistics showing border agents to have encountered 400,000 illegal immigrants so far in the Del Rio sector in Fiscal Year 2022 (since October 2021), a number that is already more than double the total number of encounters from Fiscal Year 2021. This number does not include "get-aways"—illegal crossers who evaded apprehension.
These two large groups totaling 200+ also crossed illegally into Eagle Pass, TX this morning, again, predominantly single adults. Eagle Pass is part of Border Patrol's Del Rio sector, which had seen approx 400,000 illegal crossings since October. Bigger than pop of New Orleans. pic.twitter.com/eqZ9CL6jZH
