(Daily Caller)—Border Patrol encounters of illegal immigrants from China at the U.S.-Mexico border increased more than 1,100%, according to recently updated federal data.
Encounters of Chinese migrants crossing illegally jumped from 1,970 in fiscal year 2022 to 24,048 in fiscal year 2023, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Border Patrol encounters of illegal immigrants at the southern border surpassed two million, overall.
“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,” China expert Gordon Chang previously told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
There is also some suspicion that the migrants from China are coming for nefarious purposes.
“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.
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green said in June that he had evidence that some of the Chinese migrants crossing the southern border are connected to the Chinese Communist Party and China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA).
“In terms of the verification that the individuals released into the United States have ties to the PLA came from a sector chief and I’ll leave it with that at this point. We have a classified briefing coming up in the very near future,” Green said at the time.
CBP didn’t immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that fiat currencies across the globe, including the U.S. Dollar, are under attack. Paper money is losing its value, translating into insane inflation and less value in our life’s savings.

When all you have as ‘governance’ is INCOMPETENCE that appears to be ON PURPOSE (to what end, I do not see), and PURPOSELY LEAVES our DOORS AJAR, is this any wonder? And WHO WILL COME TO SAVE US?
America was ONCE filled with real MEN. Now we have PUSSIES EVERYWHERE…Confused people whom look into their undies and see an appendage (OR NOT!) that they do not ‘like’ and therefore search for a remedy. And the CAPIALIST ‘doctors’ DO THE SURGERY WITHOUT CONCERN OF THE PATIENT…Hippocratic oath?
Khrushchev said it, “We will defeat you and not fire a single shot’. WE ARE HERE NOW: Unprotested and EXPOSED to the pedophile party (D).
I know of a Chinese who came in illegally 10 years ago. Worked non stop and is now successful. He just wanted better opportunities. Don’t approve of his methods but he’s a better man than most.
My only question is this – will the Chinese peacekeepers wear a UN blue helmet, or will they wear a CCP uniform when they escort you to the FEMA camp?
Mor1ons like you are worse than rabid leftists, Ted.
I read a book called The Culture Transplant. Using statistics, it concluded Chinese immigrants (along with those from several other countries including most of Europe) tend to boost the countries they migrate to and are desirable and generate additional taxes. However, I am pretty sure that the reality of the Biden border is that for every one Chinese alien, ten Haitian/African/Venezuelan aliens enter. The book also explains that immigrants from low-trust, failed societies with no historical record of inventing technology drag down the nations they immigrate to resulting in failure and dysfunction. Our elites think they’re geniuses because we appear to have some of the best demographics in the world right now. The reality is that most of the younger aliens here are entirely useless or negatively productive. But who knows, if Chinese surge the border at huge numbers for real, that could really help while massively hurting China whose demographic crisis is also very bad. We’d need a lot more Chinese.
