That’s not mere social media and the solution of course is to throw all illegals out, though with priority by risk, but I have a hard time taking your pretending that China isn’t up to local military infiltration here to mere ignorance on your part.

Again, I’ll guess most Freepers will see through it.

A plane ticket to JFK or LAX is simpler, cheaper and less tortuous. These people are spending many thousands of dollars to go through very dangerous cartel-ridden areas. If these are indeed carefully selected spec ops personnel, that’s maybe $100K of training and, more important, hard to replace natural talent they are placing in Latin American regions where heavily-armed cartel personnel patrol and kill people for any or no reason whatsoever. Why would they chance that?

Real life is not a Rambo movie. Lone Survivor Marcus Luttrell saw 3 of his SEAL teammates killed because he was in a remote area not fully covered by close air support. A Chinook dispatched to assist his team saw 39 men killed because of a golden BB.

Chinese tourists and business travelers can enter the country and leave, or not. There are no minders watching them. Going across the Rio Grande is pointless, expensive and dangerous. That’s why the entire thesis is off-the-wall. You’re looking at the least likely candidates. The most likely ones are students, tourists, business travelers and military attaches traveling under diplomatic cover, hundreds of thousands a year, not tens of thousands.

And, given the sizeable budgets available, it would be better for them to travel, as Israeli operatives working abroad always do, under genuine third country passports with accompanying aliases, which are easily purchased for some nominal sum ($10K - $20K) if the right palms are greased. There is no reason to risk that lives of highly-trained and -selected operatives by pulling a stunt like having them travel through cartel territory.
