[ignore the evidence presented as the basis for this thread? Do you really think Freepers are that stupid?]

Random social media posts aren’t evidence. Chinese illegal aliens are perhaps 1-2% of the total influx of as much as 3m illegals a year. That’s not a huge %, given that China is perhaps 20% of the global population. As of 2023, a similar number of Russians were entering through Mexico, despite a population 1/10 China’s. Not everything’s a centrally-directed master plan. People have been moving across borders for work since forever. In the 19th century, so many Orientals were heading across the Pacific, Congress came up with a law to deport them at points of entry.

If Chinese migrants are felt to be especially undesirable, the solution is to renew the Chinese Exclusion Act and the Geary Act and denaturalize and deport Chinese Americans en masse, not engage in these strange contortions that suggest anomalies where there are none. I suppose every oak tree starts out an acorn, and one canard is as good as another, but this one fails Occam’s Razor.

The larger point is that if this is directed by the Chinese government, it’s a miserable failure. Almost a million Mexican illegals are crossing over annually.

China has a dozen times Mexico’s population. Just based on similar income levels in Mexico and China, without any Chinese government help, you’d expect the annual Chinese influx into the US to be 12x Mexico’s, or 10m illegals. And yet it’s a trivial tens of thousands. If they’re putting money into this, it’s largely wasted.
