The number of Chinese nationals entering the United States illegally has surged in recent times, with the latest data from the San Diego sector showing a staggering 500 percent surge so far this year compared to the same period a year ago.
As the nation remains gripped by an illegal immigration crisis of historic proportions, there’s been an exceptionally high increase in the number of Chinese nationals—especially military-aged men—who have unlawfully crossed the U.S.-Mexico border.
Some border patrol officials and others have warned this poses a national security risk because, among those simply seeking a better life, there may be those with links to the Chinese military.
Brandon Judd, the head of the Border Patrol union, recently warned about a sharp rise in the number of military-aged Chinese men crossing the southern border illegally, saying that he believes some of them may be spies working on behalf of China’s communist regime to “infiltrate” the United States.
And now, Jason Owens, the chief of the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP), has revealed that, so far this fiscal year, the San Diego sector has seen over 20,000 apprehensions of Chinese nationals, over five times the number in the comparable period last year.
“In FY24, San Diego Sector has made +140K apprehensions with +20K of them being from China (a more than 500% increase compared to last FYTD),” Mr. Owens wrote in a post on X.
Some analysts say that deteriorating economic conditions in China, as well as human rights abuses and policies such as strict COVID-19 lockdowns, are likely driving the sharp increase in the number of Chinese nationals entering the United States illegally.
Interviews with some of the Chinese border crossers indicate much the same thing, with some blaming an increasingly repressive political climate and dour economic prospects.
However, Mr. Judd and others have suggested that for some—possibly even many—there might be a different motivation.
“Why are we seeing this influx?” he said during a recent interview on “Just the News, No Noise” TV program.
“At best, they’re just coming here for a better life or a better job. At worst, they’re coming here to be part of the Chinese government, and that’s what scares me an awful lot,” he said.
In January, Border Patrol agents encountered a record number of illegal immigrants (242,587) compared to any previous January.
At the same time, the CPB numbers showed an alarming trend in the number of military-aged Chinese nationals making illegal border crossings.
CBP data shows that Border Patrol agents encountered 5,717 single Chinese adults in January, more than twice the number of any other January on record. In December 2023, that figure rose to a record of 7,581. The total since January 2023 stands at 64,979.
China is designated a “country of particular concern” by the U.S. State Department, while the FBI says that economic espionage and counterintelligence efforts emanating from China’s communist regime are a “grave threat” to America’s economic security.
Mr. Judd said in his interview on the “Just the News, No Noise” TV program that the sharp rise in the number of Chinese nationals crossing the border illegally should be looked into by U.S. law enforcement and the intelligence community.
There are “huge gangs” in the United States linked to Chinese nationals who are involved in drugs, prostitution, and other criminal pursuits, he said.
“They control everything that’s illegal in certain portions of the country,” Mr. Judd said. “We have to look into that. It’s very important that we understand why we are having so many people from China, especially military-aged men.”

At the beginning of the current fiscal year, Chinese people were the fourth-highest nationality crossing the Darién Gap between Colombia and Panama and heading north toward the United States, after Venezuelans, Ecuadorians, and Haitians, according to The Associated Press.
Gordon Chang, a senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute and author of “The Coming Collapse of China,” wrote in a recent op-ed in The Epoch Times that, of the Chinese migrants making the dangerous trek north from points in Central and South America, “almost all are desperate, seeking a better life for themselves and their children.”
“Some, however, are coming to commit acts of sabotage,” he argued.
Mr. Chang explained that many Chinese nationals fly to Ecuador, which allows them to enter visa-free. Then, they travel to the southern edge of the Darién Gap, a 66-mile stretch of jungle that separates Colombia and Panama, typically crossing on foot. Once they get to the north side, they continue their journey to the United States, often by bus, according to the China expert.
“Some migrants are almost certainly members of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA),” Mr. Chang wrote.
“These military-linked migrants, despite their affiliations, have been released into America,” he argued, hinting at yet another negative consequence of the Biden administration’s catch-and-release program, under which asylum-seekers are released into U.S. communities to await asylum hearings.
In February 2023, the influx of Chinese nationals unlawfully entering the United States began to surge compared to historical averages. By summertime, the monthly figures had doubled compared to previous years.
For example, in June 2023, there were 4,117 single Chinese adults encountered by Border Patrol agents nationwide, while in June 2022, that figure was 2,324, and in June 2021, it was 1,854.
It’s estimated that more than 10 million illegal immigrants have crossed the border since President Joe Biden took office.
Republicans have blamed President Biden’s policies for fueling the border crisis, and the GOP-controlled House recently voted to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas on two counts related to his management of the border.
GOP lawmakers have called for measures such as ending the Biden administration’s contentious “catch-and-release” policy, expanding expedited removals, renewing border wall construction, and reinstating the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” policy.
Flied Lice Anyone?
Chinese have naked pictures of Brandon.
20k mostly military aged Chinese males will make themselves known to all soon enough.
They aren’t here to cook pot stickers for the round eyes.
Same goes for the 1.8 million gotaways.
They didn’t avoid contact with BP because they’d rather walk than take busses and planes.
So you’re saying they’re here to get revenge for inflicted trauma? :)
bttt
Like round up patriotic Americans ...
So, I guess we are just waiting for the “go”order from
I sling poo? ...or is his name IM so dumb..wait that was the other guy ..
I tu ol, ... no.. Xi Jinping .. I jumping ...ya that's it
Anyway, will they be handing out pamphlets ?
Or just sort of heading us around?
I need to know how to pack.
Will there be showers?
Somebody needs get on the ball and get this organized ..
no body likes a disorganized genocide.
Insuring that the Asians remain poorer than the blacks per capita for generations to come.
I noticed a lot of the local family Chinese restaurants have either fallen into second gen that doesn’t give a hoot or gone PF Changs corp crud. We could use a whole new batch of restaurants out of these people.

Although it was about Elijah Muhammad’s plans for the activation of secretive Black Muslims, the old nonfiction book When the Word Is Given by Louis Lomax is relevant.
All the average blacks were to turn against their white masters someday with the black rage coming to the surface. disciplined Black Muslims would lead but others would follow.
A vivid scene I remembered: A black nanny pushing a white baby in a carriage would suddenly pull our a butchr knife and slash the baby to death——when the word is given.
Well now! At least we have that to look forward to. lol
I don’t know exactly what’s coming but I’m afraid it’s not going to be nice.
Quite clever really. It’s a helluva lot smarter than an amphibious assault on Coronado Beach.
Oh, goodie
They are here to destroy us within. They have the technology and the capability, and now they are forming their own army inside our very own soil. Have you ever thought that these people are hackers who will be hacking the election? I feel so incredibly betrayed by our own government. Every morning I get up not only do I thank my God for one more day of life, but I beg him for mercy, because we and our country are at this point now. Our own government hates us and wants us dead . And because of their greed and lust for power, they have done this to the American people. We are so helpless to defeat this evil government that only by God intervening will he stop this madness. How do you deport 10 million people and the enemy within without them fighting back ? They will do anything for their country and their socialist leader, along with 72 virgins . I feel so discouraged, even if Trump wins, it would be very difficult to win this war within our nation. Truly, America is gone. And I deeply mourn for her deeply deeply! If someone has a solution how to deport 10+ million illegals of fighting age invaders then let us know because the powers behind them will fight for them, tooth and nail. But if you have such a plan, let us know we need to lift up our spirits because right now it looks like it’s an impossibility. America truly, is resembling the last gasps of Rome.😢
The last gasps of Rome came with the Visigoths, Vandals and Barbarians or much of the known universe ganging up to take down the empire.
IOW this is not looking anything remotely close to the last gasps Rome annd won’t until the Euros, Asians and BRICS cooperate to take down the American empire.
Oddly, I see this comparison, I dunno a 100 times a days? While our nation is $200,000,000,000,000 debt/unfunded obligations without a global replacement for the US dollar even in existence. Why? The Euros came up with the Euro which didn’t even leave a dent-it is going to take the Euros and Asians subverting their sovereignty to one or the other plus the BRICS adopting their new currency-or stuff that is not happening.
Somehow this analogy, lacks all historical context and actual reality at the moment.

......and they will follow orders too because the CCP will kill every last one in his immediate family if he does not follow orders.
It sure is.
Now imagine the U.S. trying to "sneak" 20k mil.-aged males into China walking them across the border. Or into any other country.
You’re right about that. They were probably screened according to the familial ties they have.
What worries me most is the secret CCP bio-weapons lab they found in CA. If that was not just a one off many of these guys may be tasked with distributing something very nasty.
