Mr. Nawfal has been repeatedly noted by the community (the process on X that uses participatory fact-checking with users) for making unverified claims.

He is one of the people Mr. Musk has interacted with the most on X in recent months, according to Node XL.

It is not clear where the figure of 823,000 “inadmissible aliens” comes from.

The graphic references @fentasyl – the anonymous “data expert” X account – but has no source.

It shows a sharp increase in the number of migrants from Venezuela, Nicaragua and Haiti entering the United States starting in 2023.

This appears to be a reference to the humanitarian parole program launched in January 2023. This program allows approved migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to live and work legally in the United States – if they have a American godfather.

Big figures arrived under this program , external– 531,000 people until the end of September 2024.

But they are not allowed to vote and are not put on a “fast track to citizenship.”

They are allowed to stay in the United States for a maximum of two years.

Some may be able to apply for protected status which would allow their temporary stay to be extended. But even if they got it, they wouldn’t be able to vote in federal elections.

Those who do not meet the conditions must leave the country or face deportation proceedings.

“There is no direct path to a green card for people entering the United States from Nicaragua, Venezuela, or Haiti under the Humanitarian Parole program,” says Mittelstadt.

“They could apply for asylum, but these applications can take years, and if they are granted, it does not give you the right to vote,” she adds.

To become a U.S. citizen – and gain the right to vote in a federal election – you must go through naturalization.

To apply, a person must have been a legal permanent resident for five years; married to a U.S. citizen and a legal permanent resident for three years; or be a member of the military.

As of August 2024, 3.3 million immigrants have become naturalized citizens under the Biden administration.

Under Trump, that figure was around three million people.

It should also be noted that new citizens are not guaranteed to be Democratic voters.

According to a recent investigation, external54 percent of naturalized citizens said they would vote for Harris in November, while 38 percent said they would vote for Trump.

We have asked X to comment and provide additional evidence for Mr. Musk’s claims.
