    Your opinion is biased.

    It is yours that is biased. We don’t need to wait and see in order to determine that. Ultimately the courts are as well, so that’s impossible to be determined by “waiting to see”.

    And what’s wrong with this? Now Democrats hate our country SO MUCH they want smart citizens pushed aside. OH what’s that? Vote for us and we’ll give you more free stuff!!!

    How many more signs are needed that Demcrats are trying to destroy this country. Is China paying them? Russia? Who? Who is slipping these DAs and judges cash to destroy the fabric of the nation to weaken it? Biden? Does someone have him by the balls? How does any of this HELP the country. Make one logical reason why ANY country should have quotas AGAINST their own citizens?

    It’s not even a conspiracy anymore. It’s all there in plain sight now.

    Thank you for openly admitting this DOJ lawsuit is nothing more than a political witch hunt. Thank you for admitting it is an abuse of the powers of the DOJ and that Garland and Biden should be impeached for it.

    Is Musk in your head? He's clearly stated why he is limited on his hiring practice. It's the same reason why NASA does not hire foreign staff.

    If he can’t hire foreign staff why’s he say they need a green card?

    Many of the chemicals, processes and equipment used in rocketry classify under ATF 'rules' as 'destructive devices' and require special permitting to own and use. That permitting is subject to special regulations, such as hiring people who pass a federal background check, which probably includes greencard holdholers. This is the same class of permits to build/buy/sell machine guns and artillery, btw, its all the same 'destructive devices' as far as the govt is concerned. Its not SpaceX's fault that bureaucratic laziness is unwilling to make a distinction between hiring an undocumented foreign national to work around separation charges, for example, which use high explosives, and giving a foreign national a machine gun. Everyone wants background checks for weapons, right? This is part of having background checks for weapons. I mean, I know everyone thinks 'weapons' is just guns, but it doesn't work that way when it comes to policy and law. Most weapons arent guns, and most weapons and 'destructive devices' have necessary industrial applications that are effected by 'reasonable restrictions' like background checks.

    What is so special about illegal immigrants? And why are Democrats always front and center in giving the children's food to the dogs as it were? Their reasoning and values are upside down. They've become like cat hoarders, expecting the nation to comport to their insane pet projects. Why don't they live their beliefs and allow others to live their own. Where is our religious liberty if we are held to the fervency of the self righteousness of leftists. What about our freedom? We did not elect them to give it away. And their oath is to our Constitutional liberty, not to strangers.

    The topic has nothing to do with illegal immigrants.

    If what he is saying is accurate, then it will be presented as evidence for the defense in court.

    And I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that he is telling the truth. It seems realistic and reasonable.

    What does the law say about a green card quota? Is there a required percentage companies must abide by?

    I have no view on the Space X vs DOJ issue here, as we clearly are all missing some info.

    What is interesting is how all pretence has now been dropped by the right.
    Remember in 2016 when most republicans ran on "I'm not anti immigration, I just support the 'right' way of immigration" and many would invoke their families personal paths to citizenship? You know "I am all for it, as long as it is done properly". And here we have all this venom against asylees and refugees. By definition an asylee is someone who has been granted asylum, and the US has recognised and accepted refugees legally,in one form or another, since 1891.
    So aren't these the 'right' immigrants who have done this the right way? They have gone through the administrative steps, been accepted, and have filed for working papers which they are allowed to have by law.
    So thank you for being so transparent now: you don't hate the illegal imlmigrants, you hate ALL immigrants.
    And special mention to whoever it is in the thread who reflexively filled in 'illegal immigrants" when these are legal immigrants we are talking about.
    I, for one, am glad the right has stopped pretending.

    Elon challenged the left wing propaganda machine, so like everybody else he is now subjected to weaponization of the DOJ.

    The crown doesn't like being challenged.

    Democrats have proven they care little for national security. Their open border policy is proof.

    I mean...that's basically the gist of it. But specifics to this particular dance, if what Musk is stating is accurate, they have no case.
