Musk: Biden’s Claim He Can’t Secure Border Without Congress ‘A Bold-Faced Lie’

Elon Musk called out Joe Biden’s claim that he can’t act to secure the U.S. border without Congress as a “bold-faced lie.”

When asked by a reporter outside the White House Friday why he won’t take executive action to address the collapsed southern border, Biden answered, “Because we need more forces on the border, I don’t have the authority to do that.”

Reporter: “Why are you waiting to take executive action on the border?”

Musk responded Saturday on his platform X that Biden was lying.

“The massive flood of illegal immigration is due to 94 executive actions by the Biden administration,” Musk pointed out.

“Until those executive actions are revoked, claims by Biden that he wants to address illegal immigration are a bold-faced lie.”

Biden did in fact take 94 executive actions in his first 100 days in office to decimate border security.

Most of them simply rescinded a number of Trump’s border policies, including the Remain in Mexico policy, terminated his travel and visa restrictions and removed other measures meant to reduce the flow of illegal immigration into the U.S.

Biden also directed the Department of Homeland Security and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to stop targeting illegal aliens for removal unless they posed gang involvement or had significant criminal charges.

But under considerable political pressure to address the out-of-control invasion of millions illegal aliens — reflected in recent polling — Biden is now considering new executive actions to reverse the very open-border policies he had created in the first place.

“Among the ideas under discussion include using a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act to bar migrants from seeking asylum in between U.S. ports of entry,” Politico reported last month.

“The administration is also discussing tying that directive to a trigger — meaning that it would only come into effect after a certain number of illegal crossings took place, said the three people, who were granted anonymity to discuss private deliberations.”

In any case, Biden has resorted to blaming Republicans for the influx of aliens that he allowed to illegally enter into the country.
