Elon Musk's Visit to Southern Border Amid Surging Migrant Numbers

Elon Musk announced that he will be visiting the southern border in Eagle Pass, Texas, in response to the escalating migrant crisis and record-breaking numbers. Migrant encounters have surged in recent months, with over 230,000 encounters in August alone. Musk has been vocal about the crisis, criticizing the media for not covering it and expressing concern over the lack of preventive action by the Biden administration. The billionaire's visit comes as border authorities struggle to cope with the influx of migrants, particularly in Eagle Pass, where over 4,000 encounters were reported over the weekend.
