The Biden administration drastically simplified the vetting process for Chinese illegal immigrants in April 2023, according to an internal U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) email obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The April 2023 email, which was sent by a CBP supervisor to a “master list” of about 500 Border Patrol agents, instructs CBP officials to radically reduce the number of interview questions for Chinese migrants apprehended after illegally crossing into the country from roughly 40 to just five. The “headquarters guidance” came as border agents were overwhelmed with near-record numbers of illegal crossings.
This scaling back of the interview process fast-tracked the releasing of Chinese illegal immigrants into the U.S. while making it more difficult for CBP agents to identify national security threats, J.J. Carrell, a retired CBP deputy patrol agent in charge, told the DCNF after reviewing the email.
“This policy change has accelerated the time it takes to process Chinese illegal immigrants — this doesn’t make America safer,” Carrell said. “The final result is that dangerous Chinese illegal immigrants will still be released into the U.S.”
“This is just the government covering their ass, so they can say they vetted,” said Carrell. “I believe the government recognizes the threat of Chinese soldiers and spies that are pouring into America, and they want to try and identify these individuals. However, the same government does not want to stop the flow of illegal aliens or Chinese nationals — just the ‘bad ones,’ which is impossible.”
While previously agents might spend hours vetting a single Chinese illegal immigrant, the new guidance simplifies the vetting process by reducing the number of questions that agents are required to ask, thereby speeding up the flow of Chinese illegal immigrants into the U.S., Carrell said.
The former law enforcement official who provided the email to the DCNF said human smuggling operations quickly adapted to these new guidelines, coaching Chinese illegal immigrants on how to answer CBP’s shorter list of questions.
“It was almost immediate where [the Chinese illegal immigrants] knew what to say and what not to say,” said the former official, who requested anonymity in fear of U.S. government retribution.
Carrell described smuggling operations as “highly coordinated.” He told the DCNF that illegal immigrants are “coached from the beginning of the journey.”
“The stories are identical,” Carrell said. “The streets and the names they use just differ because of the nations they’re from.”
The April 2023 CBP email also states that Chinese illegal immigrants who pass field agents’ five “basic questions” may be released into the U.S. interior.
“If they do not alert to the above, there is no requirement to further delay current processing pathway — NTA/OR,” the email states.
“NTA/OR” is an abbreviation for “Notice to Appear” / “Order of Recognizance,” according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
In practice, this allows Chinese illegal immigrants entry into the U.S. with a court date several years down the road, the former official said. By November 2023, the backlog of U.S. immigration court cases topped three million, signifying an all-time high.
Since 2022, Border Patrol has encountered approximately 35,000 Chinese illegal immigrants at the border, according to CBP data. Between 2022 and 2023, Border Patrol encounters with Chinese illegal immigrants surged over 1,000%, according to government records.
After answering agents’ “basic questions,” Chinese illegal immigrants are “sent out wherever they go, whether that’s contracted through Catholic Charities or other nonprofits,” the former official said.
‘Basic Questions’
The new guidance directs agents to ask five “basic questions” concerning “Military Service,” “Universities,” “POB/Region,” “Employment” and “Political Party.” All the questions are aimed at determining whether or not a Chinese illegal immigrant poses a national security threat, the former official told the DCNF.
“They’re really trying to see their ties to either terrorism or the government itself,” the former official said.
The CCP only needed to bribe Biden to successfully invade the USA. How will Trump catch all of them once they disappear into our cities?
What a Shocker~sarc
I wish only tremendous pain and suffering for Biden and every one of his cabal. They should wish for death to release them, for what they have done to this country and its citizens.
Throughout history, puppet presidents are eventually executed by military firing squad. Always!
Maximilian of Mexico
Vidkun Quisling of Norway
Pierre Laval of Vichy France
Ferenc Szálasi of Hungary
Puppet Biden of the USA
How much was Xo Xidung paid to do this?
TREASON.......................
Now why would he DO that?
Didn’t Congress and the DoD call China our biggest threat?
What happens if thousands of young military age Russian men start wading into Texas to claim asylum?
Never any repercussions for the real traitors like Joe. People just ignore it.
I can’t believe it, the recreational drug using idiots in living in the U.S. elects a demented, ice cream cone licking, pedophile and every freeloading, malingering azzho on the planet decides to “migrate” to a capitalist country run by white people. Very weird how that worked out.
“35,000 Chinese illegal immigrants “
At least 1 Division
When they’re “paroled in” do they then have the right to own guns?
With Merrick Garland in charge, we all know the answer.
Those boyz are pretty fluffy for “border patrol guyz.”
What is going on with this Biden Chinese invasion?
DC has been making public trolling warnings about war with China, all the while letting military-age men stream into the country illegally.
This is what an invasion looks like, with illegal aliens, likely hostile foreign agents. No other descriptor.
Damn. It looks like the BP even has a “commando” guy.
I guess the check to Biden from Xi musta cleared.
Democrats have been talking about letting illegals into the military for a reason then they get armed with the finest.
Joe is doing what he has been paid by the CCP to do.............
