‘These Numbers Are Staggering’: Chinese Migrants Continue To Surge Across Southern Border
The Daily Caller ^ | May 22, 2023 | Jennie Taer

The influx of Chinese migrants crossing the southern border continued through April, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data.

Border Patrol encountered 3,182 migrants from China at the U.S.-Mexico border in April alone, according to CBP data. Chinese migrants often pay hefty smuggling fees to reach the U.S., where they have been found with large sums of U.S. currency, according to Border Patrol agents who recently spoke with the Daily Caller News Foundation.

In total, Border Patrol has encountered 9,711 Chinese migrants at the southern border between October 2022 and April, marking an already roughly 393% increase compared to all of fiscal year 2022.

Migrants from Latin America pay an average of roughly $4,000 each to smugglers, according to a July report from The New York Times.

Gordon Chang, author of The Coming Collapse of China, a Gatestone Institute distinguished senior fellow, and a member of its advisory board, believes many young Chinese migrants are fleeing China due to a lack of hope for their future in the country, he told the DCNF.

“Right now in China there’s extreme pessimism, especially among people in their 20s about the future of their country, so it’s understandable that they’re leaving and they’re trying to get into the United States. And, you know, these are people who are relatively middle class, so it shows you the problems in Chinese society are severe. And that to me, suggests that this is going to get worse because these numbers are staggering.”

Most of the Chinese migrants encountered by Border Patrol so far in fiscal year 2023 are single adults, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data. Legitimate asylum claims must be based on persecution due to religious affiliation, membership in a social group, race, nationality and political party affiliation.

It’s also possible that some Chinese migrants are nefarious actors, Chang said.

“When I first saw that the surge in Chinese migrants, that’s the thought that came to my mind that these are either Ministry of State Security agents or Chinese military, who are coming to this country to commit acts of sabotage against the US,” Chang said.

CBP sent a memo to agency officials in March, warning of a surge in Chinese migrants, according to a copy of the document that the DCNF exclusively obtained.

“Chinese national apprehensions will continue to rise across the SWB [Southwest border], primarily in Yuma and the Rio Grande Sector, as more Chinese nationals successfully reach the United States to request asylum and information about routes becomes more accessible,” the document stated.

The document also detailed a smuggling route in which a group of Chinese migrants traveled to Istanbul, where they obtained Mexican visas, flew to Mexico City pretending to be couples and then split off to get to border towns. Migrants are fleeing China due to religious persecution against Christians, the document stated.

“They don’t say much, just that they left China to escape communism,” a Border Patrol agent who has apprehended some of the Chinese migrants at the southern border told the DCNF.

“They get interviewed by intel and released,” the agent said.

Chinese migrants are known to pay smugglers between $15,000 and $30,000 to make the journey, a second Border Patrol agent stationed along the southern border, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the leaked document, previously told the DCNF.

“[The] majority of them have thousands and thousands of U.S. dollars,” the agent said. “FBI has been called down several times now.”

“The cartels know and are charging them out the ass what their normal rates are,” the agent added.

Hey Gordon Chang, How the F*** do large numbers of Chinese leave China without their GOVERNMENT KNOWING ABOUT IT?

These are HUMAN SPY BALLOONS and SABOTEURS!

“ It’s also possible that some Chinese migrants are nefarious actors, Chang said.”

Chinese citizens don’t simply leave the country, especially with a lot of money. MOST of them coming across the border are being sent here on behalf of the communist government. They will disappear into the country until called upon by the Chinese government.

In the 1940s a Communist Party USA organizer estimated only 10% infiltration of secretly Communist teacher’s union members would have decades long influence in the NYC school system. He obviously was right.

Wonder many are Commies among the new Chinese border crossers, joining the already present 290,206 (as of 2021/2022 so outdated) and regular immigrants in US that year were 2.4 million.

I remember in 1979 when the fool Jimmy Carter, using his cold war vs. Soviet Union mentality (particularly on the Jackson amendment), lectured Deng Xiao Ping (leader of CCP/China) about how China needed to allow free movement of people and emigration.

Deng replied to him: “OK. How many millions do you want?”

The 290,206 was the figure of college students currently enrolled in the US from China.

Many, according to another report last month, are connected to or are members of the PLA.

Xi Jinping amassing troops within the US and Canada?

Looks like with Brandon’s war we’ll have to implement an other internment camp.

And how many of these Chinese males have had a couple of years of training in the Chinese army? And among them is there a “shadow” military organization that can be activated at Xi’s order if war to break out, or to be the instigators of such a war by attacks against our infrastructure.

Here is roughly how it works in every socialist takeover:

Major event like a food shortage, power shortage, etc.

People begin to protest for the gov't to do something.

Protests are joined by "shock troops" demanding installation of a socialist leader (Obama)

The parliamentary system and constitution are swept away, capitalism is blamed and you have a socialist dictatorship in place under the guide of democracy.

Many of the Hispanic trespassers are the same shock troops that installed Chavez in Venezuela.
