Billionaire and entrepreneur Elon Musk stated that the United States will not have a real election if former President Donald Trump loses in the upcoming presidential election to his Democratic counterpart, Kamala Harris, after she promised to grant illegal migrants amnesty.

"The publicly-stated goal by almost all leaders of the Democratic Party is to legalize the ~15 million illegal migrants as soon as possible, as well as bring in tens of millions more," Musk wrote on X.

"That would immediately make all swing states deep blue, just like happened in California with the 1986 amnesty, turning America into a permanent one-party state. This is the last real election if Trump loses," he added.

The Tesla and SpaceX founder said in May that the 2024 presidential election may be the last election determined by US citizens due to the country's massive surge of undocumented migrants.

Under President Joe Biden's administration, which assumed office in January 2021, illegal immigration at the southern border has experienced three consecutive record-breaking years. According to data provided by the US Customs and Border Protection, approximately eight million illegal encounters during the three-year period.

Western politicians, media scapegoating migrants for elections: UN

Some Western politicians and media are using migrants and minorities for scapegoating during their electoral campaigns, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk said on Monday.

"There are those politicians, amplified by some media outlets, who scapegoat migrants, refugees and minorities, as we have seen for example around electoral periods in Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, to name a few," he said at the opening of the 57th Regular Session of Human Rights Council. 

"They capitalize on anxiety and despair, pitting one group against the other. And they seek to distract and divide. History has shown us that hateful words can trigger hateful actions," Turk added. 

The diplomat highlighted that society is littered with racism and racial discrimination reinforced by "entrenched" power structures, and integrated interests and stereotypes that stem from legacies of colonialism and enslavement.

Although there is some progression on the matter, socio-economic prejudices are rooted in "far too many" countries around the world, Turk added.
