There has been more than a 6,000% increase in encounters of Chinese
nationals at the border in the last few years

One Border Patrol Sector has seen over two hundred Chinese migrants on
two separate days this week, which by itself outpaces the entire number
of total Chinese migrants encountered in Fiscal Year 2021.

A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) source told Fox News that on May 1
and May 2, Border Patrol’s San Diego Sector apprehended over 200 Chinese nationals each day.

On Thursday, agents encountered 223 migrants, after encountering 262 on Wednesday.

That means that more Chinese illegal immigrants crossed illegally into
the sector in two days than across the entire southern border in all of
FY 21, – where 342 migrants were encountered.

IMMIGRANTS

Numbers have increased dramatically since FY 21. There were 1,970
encounters in FY 2022, over 24,000 in FY 2023 and so far there have been
over 24,200 encounters so far this fiscal year.

Fox News reported last month that the number of Chinese nationals
entering illegally has surged by over 6,300% since FY 2021.

Some migrants previously told Fox News that they are seeking a better
life in the United States.

"My English is not very good, and I don't know anyone in the United
States," one migrant said in March. "Once I get to the United States, I
know I have to start all over again. But I want to live a good life in
the future, and I want my children to be educated well. I strive to take
root in the United States as soon as possible."

But some lawmakers have raised concerns about potential espionage by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the movement of fentanyl into the U.S.
– which is often created in Mexico using Chinese precursors and then
smuggled across the land border.

PREVIOUS YEAR'S RECORD

"There have been numerous documented instances of Chinese nationals, at
the direction of the CCP, engaging in espionage, stealing military and
economic secrets," lawmakers, led by Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., said
last year.

Earlier this year, a Chinese illegal immigrant was detained in
California after entering a Marine Corps base without authorization and ignoring orders to leave. In response to that incident, CBP has stressed
that there will be consequences for those who enter the U.S. illegally, including those from China.

"DHS continues to enforce United States immigration laws, expanding
lawful pathways while strengthening enforcement consequences for those
who cross our border unlawfully," the agency said.

"Individuals and families without a legal basis to remain in the U.S.
are subject to removal pursuant to Title 8 authorities and are subject
to a minimum five-year bar on reapplying for admission and potential
criminal prosecution if they subsequently re-enter without
authorization."

However, the overwhelming majority of the Chinese are mass released as
China is not cooperative with deportation flights from the U.S.

At a recent House Appropriations Committee hearing, acting ICE Director
Patrick Lechleitner was asked by Rep. John Rutherford, R-Fla., to
identify the top countries that are the most difficult to send back
their nationals who are being deported from the U.S.

"We've got Bhutan, top of the list there, Cambodia, they've been
challenging, the People’s Republic of China, although we’ve had some
recent cautiously optimistic progress with the Chinese, so I want to say
it’s moving in the right direction there."

He also said that ICE is working with both other DHS agencies and the
State Department in trying to rectify recalcitrant countries, but he
noted that "it’s not an easy issue for them either," given other
factors, including geopolitical issues.

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently told lawmakers in the House
that there had recently been one deportation flight to China after he
had spoken to officials in the communist country.
