Elon Musk, the owner of giant social media platform "X" (formerly known as Twitter), is headed to the U.S. southern border with Mexico as the illegal immigration crisis continues to get worse by the hour.

They are being overwhelmed by unprecedented numbers – just hit an all-time high and still growing!
Am going to visit Eagle Pass later this week to see what’s going on for myself.

In recent days Musk has expressed concern and outrage over the ongoing catastrophe, which is playing out at the border and in cities across the country. He also lamented a lack of media coverage and vowed to amplify the situation with his platform.

About 2 million people – from every country on Earth – are entering through the US southern border every year.
The number is rising rapidly, yet no preventive action is taken by the current administration. https://t.co/EF7HTS1ktT
Meanwhile, the Texas National Guard continues efforts to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the country while the White House refuses to put a cap on the number of people entering unlawfully.
