Musk is a former “illegal” immigrant that violated the terms of his student VISA, by dropping out of school and working with Peter Thiel. At some point because the US once cared about immigrants, Musk got a SSN, or Social Security Card, something any citizen or legal resident can acquire for tax related purposes while working in or for the US. The SSN card has a disclaimer on it if the holder is a non-citizen.
That’s why this intentional nonsensical attack on legal immigrants following Federal law is so egregious.
Immigrants whether they become citizens or just study here, are the backbone of American greatness. Save Musk, Thiel and others undermining our sacred democracy, values and rights. But yes, most of the rest contribute to society in a highly meaningful way, not attempt to rip people off, steal elections or to destroy people.
Let’s also note the Faux News headline. Asylum is a legal entry point into the US that Trump exploited for political purposes during his first term by running a repeat psychological operation explaining on TV how people can do it, over and over.
That was the cause. This was the effect.
On the ground funneling of people into these caravans originally took a group some time, coordination and resources. By sheer luck, those who did so were never identified. Once the first caravan or two was launched, there was no more need for an on the ground operation. The key drivers for this behavior was poverty, fleeing violence and an open invitation by Trump to come to the US simply by his promotion of asylum.
Both ops from a social media narrative aspect drive listeners opinions and behavior. It’s time we as Americans have deeper discussions on the social manipulation or rather information warfare our enemies are using against us.
