Let’s not forget the border, folks.
The Border Patrol encountered one million illegal migrants in FY2023, which began on October 1, 2023. Among those migrants are Chinese nationals.
The Border Patrol has seen a 900% increase in Chinese nationals crossing the border.
Rio Grande Valley Sector Chief Gloria Chavez announced the encountered number on Monday, a week after Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz told Congress that the Department of Homeland Security “does not have operational control of the southern border.”
Think about it. One million in four months. Perspective (total in a fiscal year):
Fox News also has footage of Chinese nationals illegally crossing the border:
Two busloads of migrants were released to a non-governmental organization in Brownsville, Texas. CBP sources told Fox they are being released with notices to appear (NTA) because there are so many crossing and no more space to house them.Migrants released with NTAs are given a court hearing for their immigration cases, which can take between four and seven years to resolve.Officials say the Rio Grande Valley Sector — one of the busiest sectors along the border — has seen a more than 900% increase in Chinese nationals over the same time last year. Across the southern border, there were 55 encounters of Chinese nationals in February 2022; there were 1,368 in February 2023.In fiscal year 2021, there were 450 encounters of Chinese nationals overall; in fiscal year 2022, there were 1,176.
