After Musk traveled to the US legally, he overstayed a visa and then worked without the legal authorization to do so.
Investors were so worried the South African native would be deported that they even stipulated that he obtain legal status in their contracts, creating a paper trail proving his “illegal” status.
Yet, Musk in recent months has amplified the Republican presidential candidate’s claims that ‘open borders’ and undocumented immigrants are destroying America.
The MAGA world shrugged, but not because they are especially talented at managing cognitive dissonance. No, they just don’t see this story as evidence of hypocrisy.
When Trump and his allies rant about “illegals,” they don’t actually mean immigrants who don’t have proper documentation to live and work in the U.S.
“Illegals” is just a catch-all category for all non-white immigrants, and, increasingly, any native-born American citizen whose skin color or ethnic heritage MAGA dislikes.
To MAGA, an undocumented white immigrant is fine. But a legal immigrant with darker skin — or even a native-born citizen — is an “illegal.”
Like all forms of fascism before them, MAGA is a movement soaked in the principles of racism, deportation, inequality, legalized discrimination and violence, and a strong “enemy from within” narrative.
When they talk about “illegals”, “wokes”, “enemies of the State” etc., we can’t expect coherence from their definitions. Like all fascists, they’re just making up terms to justify their hate against anyone they don’t like.
