In the ongoing debate surrounding immigration policies, Elon Musk’s recent remarks provide a critical lens through which to examine what he perceives as underlying motivations behind the Democrats’ stance on open borders. Musk’s bold assertion suggests that Democrats are hesitant to deport undocumented individuals not out of a genuine concern for humanitarian reasons but due to what he deems as a calculated political incentive.
The entrepreneur and Tesla CEO suggests a straightforward, albeit stark, explanation: each undocumented person represents a potential future vote. According to Musk, this incentive structure could be the driving force behind what might otherwise seem like perplexing behavior in the Democrats’ approach to immigration. It’s a perspective that adds a layer of political strategy to the ongoing discourse, framing open border policies as a maneuver to secure votes rather than addressing the complex challenges of immigration.
Musk highlights specific incidents, such as the brazen assault of police officers in Times Square by a group of undocumented individuals, captured on camera. Despite this public display of aggression, Musk contends that these individuals were released without deportation, further emphasizing what he sees as a lack of accountability for those who break the law.
The commentary raises questions about the broader implications of such policies on law enforcement and public safety. Musk’s criticism suggests that a lenient stance may foster an environment where undocumented individuals perceive themselves as immune to legal consequences, potentially undermining the rule of law.
Jesse Watters adds another layer to the critique, linking the surge in migrant crime in the United States to an alleged influx of criminals from Venezuela. This claim, if substantiated, underscores concerns about the impact of open border policies on local safety.

Dems won’t deport, because every illegal is a highly likely vote at some point.
That simple incentive explains what seems to be insane behavior.
It has become so brazen that a gang of illegals can beat up police officers on camera in Times Square, get out of jail for free and… t.co/9lMpDNsAS1
