Musk criticizes Biden immigration policy at CPAC, saying they were trying to flip swing states

Investing.com -- Elon Musk made critical remarks on the immigration policies of the former Biden administration during his appearance at the Conservative Political Action (WA:ACT) Conference (CPAC) on Thursday. Musk alleged that the administration was using taxpayer money to amplify illegal immigration.

Musk claimed that the administration redirected funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), originally intended to assist distressed Americans, to provide luxury accommodations for illegal immigrants in New York. Musk specified that such funds were sent to places like The Roosevelt Hotel, even after a Presidential Executive Order from Trump was signed to halt such actions. He further alleged that deep state bureaucrats continued to send funds, totaling $80 million, last week, despite the order.

"It’s important for people to understand the Biden Administration sent any possible money they could send to amplify illegal immigration," Musk said.

Musk suggested that the administration was attempting to create a new voter class by increasing the number of illegal immigrants in the country. According to Musk, the high probability of these immigrants voting for the Democratic party created an incentive for the administration to increase their numbers.

Musk also criticized the creation of an application referred to as CBP1, which he claimed was used to fly people into the country. He further alleged that a London-based individual was paid $100 million to develop this application. Musk suggested that this practice could potentially impact the political balance in swing states by increasing the number of potential Democratic voters.
