Illegal immigration from China increases 10 fold
American Thinker ^ | August 20, 2010 | Norah Peterson

Posted on 08/21/2010 1:09:25 PM PDT by La Lydia

News of China's alarming military buildup has made headlines this week. But, there is yet another national security threat involving China that is closer to home. Earlier this year, The New York Times reported:

"The number of Chinese immigrants arrested while illegally crossing the border into Arizona through the busiest smuggling corridor in the United States increased tenfold in the last fiscal year, according to the United States Border Patrol in Tucson.

"In fiscal 2009, 332 Chinese immigrants were caught in the Border Patrol's Tucson sector, up from 30 the previous year, Border Patrol figures showed. And in what could be a sign of a record-breaking pace for this year, agents in the Border Patrol's Tucson sector arrested 281 Chinese immigrants from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

Predictably, the article went on to insist that most of these illegal immigrants from China were just seeking a better life. Maybe, and maybe not. We have certainly heard this argument before. However, the sheriff of Zapata County in Texas, Sigifredo Gonzalez Jr., warned in 2009:

"We are seeing more and more persons coming across our southwestern border than ever before. From what we are seeing, we feel that most of these persons are not coming into the country to look for legitimate employment."

The appalling lack of immigration enforcement at our southwest border is inviting potentially dangerous people from all parts of the world. How much longer can we afford to permit this national security disaster?

“From what we are seeing, we feel that most of these persons are not coming into the country to look for legitimate employment.”

Establishing a low-profile military beachhead, perhaps?

This is scary.

In order for a path of illegal immigration viable..it must succeed more than 75% of the time. Otherwise people wouldn’t pay to get across that way. That means that at least a 1000 or more Chinese must have gotten in.
Also..is it true that we are not deporting people back to China because China won’t take them?

I wonder if the open borders liberals and their allies will take responsibility when a terrorist attack happens because they refused to secure the border.

I can hear Obama and the liberals:

Oh, but we can’t seal the border because that might be discriminatory against the Mexican illegals.

They don’t care if millions of Americans die if it serves their political correctness.

Liberals are so incredibly stupid that sometimes I wonder if they are even human.

For years, the MSM has been portraying China is a great place to live. What gives?

The Chinese illegals are also being brought into the country inside containers on containerships. Once in port they are offloaded or sneak off with the crew on liberty. More news the mainstream media doesn’t report.

Blast from the past:

To Reunite a Nation
Patrick J. Buchanan
January 18, 2000

In 1979, Deng Xiaoping arrived here on an official visit. China was emerging from the Cultural Revolution, and poised to embark on the capitalist road. When President Carter sat down with Mr. Deng, he told him he was concerned over the right of the Chinese people to emigrate. The Jackson-Vanik amendment, Mr. Carter said, prohibited granting most favored nation trade status to regimes that did not allow their people to emigrate.

“Well, Mr. President,” Deng cheerfully replied, “Just how many Chinese do you want? Ten million. Twenty million. Thirty million?” Deng’s answer stopped Carter cold.

In a few words, the Chinese leader had driven home a point Mr. Carter seemed not to have grasped: Hundreds of millions of people would emigrate to America in a eyelash, far more than we could take in, far more than our existing population of 270 million, if we threw open our borders. (snip)

“As far as I know we are deporting people to China every day.”

Past reports have been that China will not repatriate these people...won’t let us deport them.

Sept. 2009
India, China refusing to accept deported nationals: US lawmaker

Washington: Accusing India along with China, Iran and four other countries of refusing to take back their nationals who were deported from the US, a lawmaker here has introduced a legislation aimed at denying aid to such nations and visas to their nationals.

Speaking on the floor of the House of Representatives, Congressman Ted Poe, said the number of such “criminal aliens” in the US had increased to 160,000. However, he did not give details of how many of them were from India.

“Right now there are over 160,000 of these criminal aliens roaming our nation and our streets. These people have been lawfully deported after they’ve served their prison time, but their home nation refuses to take them back,” Poe said.

He said several countries were refusing to take back their lawfully convicted nationals, naming Vietnam, Jamaica, China, India, Ethiopia, Laos, and Iran. [snip]http://www.zeenews.com/news564077.html

Now India is giving us illegals by way of Mexico.

Texas, US – Federal agents carried out a raid that led them to discover 39 presumed undocumenteds in a house in the city of Laredo, on the border with Mexico. The agents detained 24 men, 10 women and 5 minors, according to Nina Pruneda, spokesperson for the Immigration and Customs agency. Among those arrested were people from Mexico, Brazil, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and India.

El Sol de Mexico (Mexico City) 8/16/10

Ten migrants from India detained in Northern Mexico

Chihuahua, Mexico – Ten people of Indian nationality were detained in the Mexican state of Chihuahua while traveling toward the border to cross into the US, according to the Federal Police. The ten were traveling in a passenger bus heading for the town of Agua Prieta in the neighboring state of Sonora on the Arizona border. From there, they were planning to attempt entering the US illegally. Some 500,000 foreigners enter Mexico each year to try crossing the US border illegally in search of employment, according to data from the Mexican National Commission of Human Rights.

I would love to see a list of airplanes that are deporting Chinese every day or every week. I doubt it's more than one airplane a month. I say Homeland Security is full of crap and rarely deports people when an airplane is involved. To much hassle and intentional sabotage via lack of funding.... Mexicans are easy to deport because it is by bus. Guatemalans and Salvadorans.... you have to fly them home so how many really get deported or do they get released into "the community" 99% of the time?

Go scour the internet and there is nothing much on deportation flights

Nothing new.

In the mid 80s I was offered $1,000/head to fly chinese that were brought by shipload to a beach near Guadalahara to fly them to a private airstrip just the other side of the US border.

For fear of a mexican prison and losing my airplane I declined but someone took them up on their offer.

Another time when I was waiting for a passanger at Brown Field, San Diego I was talking to a group of Border Patrol guys in the bar and they said at that time, about 1985, 20% of the illegals coming across the border were from Asia and the middle East.

This is very good policy on the part of China and India.

They ship over their poor and uneducated making the U.S less competitive, they import highly educated, productive citizens from the U.S to their countries, making them more competitive.
