“A recent Washington Post article shows Elon Musk was, for a time, working illegally in the US, and subject to deportation. He was able to remain in the US and eventually legalize his status because law enforcement was either unaware of his status or chose to look the other way. Much of the commentary on this issue focuses on Musk’s hypocrisy: he has since become an advocate of hardline policies on illegal migration, under which people like Musk himself would be deported. But Musk’s story also highlights the harm caused by immigration restrictions.” (10/29/24)
