Shocking images and video taken in California this weekend show Chinese migrants lined up at the border town of Jacumba and telling reporters shamelessly how they're here to 'take the money'.

Dozens and dozens, possibly up to hundreds of migrants, crossed the international boundary, according to Griff Jenkins of Fox News, who recorded the footage.

'This is one of the largest groups of Chinese I have ever come across and there were [...] two groups at the same time crossing in Jacumba, CA,' the correspondent tweeted last week.

More than 150 Chinese nationals a day have been sneaking into the US illegally since October, according to startling US Customs and Border Protection statistics.

The 2023 fiscal year reportedly saw over 37,000 Chinese migrants encountered at the border - with a staggering 20,000 more since October, when the 2024 fiscal year began.

The Chinese surge is part of a historic and overwhelming wave of migrants across the Southern Border of the country since 2021.

The US is seeing more migrants - and from more countries - than ever before, federal data shows.

Chinese nationals now make up the fastest-growing faction of illegal border crossers into the US, with over 20,000 apprehended since October



CBP sources said the number of total migrant crossings since October has soared past one million, compared to the same time frame last year at 923,446

The high success rate of Chinese asylum claims is a long-standing trend, but it has come under the spotlight following a spike in illegal crossings by Chinese migrants last year

The migrants are headed to the west coast because that's may be their final destination, Border Congressman Tony Gonzales (R, Texas) told DailyMail.com.

'As I've spoken to different agencies about why some communities (groups of migrants) go one place and others go another, one: it depends on what cartel controls that pipeline,' Gonzales explained.

'It's very clear that the Sinaloa Cartel is the one controlling that operation and sending Chinese more towards the California corridor...California/Arizona corridor that they control. That's half of the equation.

'The other half is where is the population going to go. Where are the large populations of Asian Americans tend to be-- in California, New York is another area, but that West Coast area is a big population center for them.'

The Chinese arrivals have raised concern with elected officials about why the citizens for a US foe are coming here in increasing numbers.



More successful asylum claims in the US are made by Chinese migrants than any other nationality, according to government data

'It's tough to put everybody in the same box: that they're all tourist, they're all coming all gang members, they're all bad actors,' the Republican added.

'At the same time, you can't say they're all coming here for opportunity and fleeing Xi's repressive regime.

'This is once again, why is its so important that we allow zero people to come over illegally, and any of these people seeking asylum, they get their cases heard immediately.

'Regardless of what ethnicity or what country you're coming from, you get your day in court and if you don't qualify, you get deported back to China, Venezuela or wherever the hell you came from.'

Nearly 700 Migrants from China Apprehended for Illegally Crossing California Border — in Just One Week

By Cassandra MacDonald Apr. 21, 2024 5:20 pm 151 Comments


Nearly 700 migrants from the People’s Republic of China have been apprehended in just one week for illegally crossing the California border from Mexico, according to a new report.

The number only includes those busted in the San Diego region during the third week of April.
Breitbart News reports:

A CBP source, not authorized to speak to the media, told Breitbart Texas the number of Chinese migrants apprehended represents a more than threefold increase from the same time last year. The source told Breitbart that China is now within the top ten nationalities encountered by the Border Patrol along the southern border. The bulk of the Chinese nationals are released into the United States almost immediately the source says as China adamantly refuses to take their citizens back.
“We have only conducted one repatriation flight back to China recently,” the source lamented. “Until that changes, unless we have specific derogatory information about an individual, we are releasing. There’s just no other option.”
The agency remains baffled by the continued increase in Chinese migrant arrivals. Twice as many PRC nationals entered Southern California during the third week of April than the entire 2021 fiscal year when a total of 342 PRC nationals were encountered by the Border Patrol along the entire Southwest border. According to the source, intelligence debriefings yield little information about the migrants and their purpose for entering. The language barrier and the sheer volume of crossings and apprehensions is a major challenge according to the source.

“We want to focus on the threats posed by the Government of China and not cast aspersions on all the people of China, but governments are people and at this point,” the CBP source told the outlet. “We are in the dark concerning who is a foe and who is a friend.”

Breitbart noted that during the first six months of the 2024 fiscal year, which began in October, CBP has apprehended apprehended 24,296 Chinese migrants, an all-time high.
