I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of immigration law enforcement that has been largely overlooked: Elon Musk’s prior unauthorized work in the United States during the 1990s. Reports have indicated that Musk worked in the U.S. without proper authorization while establishing his first company, Zip2, before securing legal work status. Given the strict enforcement of immigration laws for others in similar situations, it is only fair that these same laws be applied consistently, regardless of wealth or status. Musk’s case raises important questions about the integrity of our immigration system. If the law applies to ordinary individuals who face detention and deportation for unauthorized work, it should apply equally to high-profile figures like Musk. Failure to address this would signal a double standard in immigration enforcement, where billionaires can skirt the law without consequence while working-class immigrants face harsh penalties. I urge you to investigate this matter and push for accountability under existing immigration laws. Fair and equal enforcement is fundamental to maintaining trust in our legal system, and no one should be above the law. I look forward to your response on how you plan to address this issue.
