Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, hundreds of immigrants are being fast-tracked to U.S. citizenship, raising concerns over the speed of the process and its potential impact on the election.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has openly expressed fears that Democrats are using this expedited naturalization process to secure votes and maintain long-term political dominance.
Musk voiced his concerns on X, formerly known as Twitter, claiming that the Democrats are allowing illegal immigration to ensure a “permanent one-party rule.”
My prediction is that if Kamala wins, the Dems will import and legalize enough migrants to ensure a permanent one-party rule that is increasingly socialist (to a confiscatory level) and repressive.

He went further, stating, “They are importing voters. It is obvious.”

Musk’s comments reflect ongoing worries from some conservative voices that the immigration policies under the Biden-Harris administration are politically motivated, especially as the 2024 election approaches.
In response, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson Naree Ketudat refuted Musk’s claims, emphasizing that the increase in the naturalization process is not driven by political motives. “DHS does not take actions based on electoral politics or upcoming elections. Period,” Ketudat stated, pushing back against the assertion that the agency is fast-tracking citizenship for electoral gains.
The debate over immigration has intensified as Kamala Harris has pledged to establish an “earned pathway to citizenship,” a position endorsed by Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Musk criticized Harris’s plan, arguing that it aligns with the broader Democratic goal of legalizing millions of illegal immigrants.
Earlier this month, Musk stated on X, “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.” He warned, “This is the last real election if Trump loses.”

Since 2020, nearly 4 million immigrants have been granted U.S. citizenship, a process that typically takes years to complete.
However, the current pace of application processing has raised concerns that thousands of newly naturalized citizens could influence the outcome of the November 5 election.
Critics argue that the timing and speed of these naturalizations could benefit the Democratic Party, particularly in key swing states.
Xiao Wang, co-founder of Boundless, an immigration assistance company, dismissed allegations that Democrats are turning migrants into voters to gain an electoral edge. “This is not part of some master conspiracy to flood the country with new Democratic voters,” Wang said. However, recent data has intensified the debate.
A poll conducted by the National Partnership for New Americans revealed that 97% of naturalized citizens in swing states and California are likely to vote in the upcoming election.
The survey also showed that 54% of respondents favored Vice President Kamala Harris, while 38% supported former President Donald Trump.
The potential influence of these newly naturalized citizens has become a key point of contention in the political landscape.

Concerns about voter integrity have also resurfaced, particularly around non-citizens being added to voter rolls.

Reports have emerged that some non-citizens were automatically registered through the “motor voter” process, a system implemented by the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), which allows voter registration during driver’s license applications.
Adding to the controversy, a new study by nonprofit research institute Just Facts suggested that up to 2.7 million non-citizens could potentially cast votes in the 2024 election.
The study estimated that between 10% to 27% of non-citizen adults in the U.S. are illegally registered to vote, citing U.S. Census data from 2022 showing over 19 million adult non-citizens living in the country.
As immigration and voter registration remain key issues leading into the 2024 election, both sides continue to debate the implications of the growing number of new citizens and the integrity of the electoral process.
With concerns mounting, these topics are likely to remain in the spotlight as the election approaches.
