Summary
The opinion article argues that many immigration policies now labeled as "far-right" were once supported by leading Democrats such as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. It cites past statements by both politicians advocating stronger border security and enforcement of immigration laws to show how the Democratic Party's position has shifted over the past two decades.

The article also highlights Elon Musk's interview with The Economist, in which he rejected being labeled far-right. Musk argued that supporting secure borders, safe cities, and responsible government spending are common-sense, centrist positions rather than extremist views. He further claimed that today's political left and mainstream media have redefined these positions as "far-right."

The author concludes that the media has contributed to widening political divisions by portraying views once shared by both major parties as extreme, and argues that history supports Musk's claim that his immigration stance is closer to the political mainstream of the past than is commonly acknowledged.
