“Unprecedented” flow of Chinese nationals at the border.
Several illegals who crossed into the U.S. have expressed shock at how easy it was for them to get into the country.
One of the migrants from Turkey told Fox Newsreporter Bill Melugin that he paid a cartel member $10,000 to get him across the southern border at Jacumba in California. According to the Turk, he had applied for a visa to enter the country legally multiple times, but had been rejected on each occasion.
Surprisingly, the Turk remarked in relation to warnings about the wide-open border that “in fact, [the] American people [are] right.” He added that the open border is all “completely true,” and also expressed concern about the lack of vetting. According to him, there is “no security check” and “no background check” to weed out potential “killers or psychopaths.” (Related: Turkish smugglers using SOCIAL MEDIA to aid and abet illegal immigrants crossing southern border.)
Melugin was at the border once again documenting a huge group of illegals attempting to cross, originating from countries like Iran, Pakistan and China. Migrants are surging to the border now because they believe former President Donald Trump is going to win the election in November.
“We think with the elections, it will be harder,” said two brothers from Colombia, who added: “We don’t want Trump.” The Colombian siblings had crossed into the U.S. and were put on a flight bound to New Jersey.
“Unprecedented” flow of Chinese nationals at the border
Since President Joe Biden took office in 2021, there have been more than nine million migrant encounters nationwide – with some 7.6 million encounters at the southwest border alone. Latest numbers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection show that 3,324 Chinese nationals crossed the southwest border in April of this year alone – more than the total crossings for the entire 2022 fiscal year.
Given this alarming rate, Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) convened a hearing to address the “unprecedented flow of Chinese nationals” at the southern border. He expressed concern during the hearing regarding the vetting process for Chinese migrants, which now consists of five questions from 40 questions before. According to the congressman, this does little to protect America’s national security.
“As the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continues its quest for geopolitical dominance and threatens our sovereignty, we must examine the risks presented by releasing ever-increasing numbers of minimally vetted Chinese nationals into our communities,” Bishop – chairman of the Oversight, Investigations and Accountability Subcommittee under the House Homeland Security Committee – said in a statement.
According to the congressman for the Tar Heel State, Chinese migrants crossing illegally into the U.S. could have “nefarious motives.” He noted federal indictments in his state showing partnerships between Mexican drug cartels and Chinese transnational criminal organizations engaged in money laundering operations throughout the country.
“At best, this is a mockery of U.S. immigration law and sovereignty – and at worst, it is a huge national security and community safety risk. In addition to many Chinese with connections to the CCP, People’s Liberation Army and other state entities, it it statistically probable that DHS is releasing people with criminal records.”
