The Fish Wrap Is Very Concerned Over All The Illegal Alien Chinese In The U.S.

Obviously, the NY Times is going to come to the wrong conclusion, just give a sob story
Some Chinese Weigh Painful Question: Stay or Flee Under Trump?
Ever since immigration raids swept Los Angeles in June, Han Lihua, 46, has spent much of his time hiding in his apartment, skipping his Amazon delivery shifts and scrolling on social media to look for nearby sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
In 2022, he fled China, where he ran an independent student newspaper and taught high school literature. He crossed the treacherous Darién Gap on the border of Colombia and Panama before crossing the southern border of the United States illegally in early 2023.
Now, with the Trump administration carrying out a sweeping immigration crackdown, he is among the Chinese immigrants who say fear has eclipsed their fragile new lives, forcing difficult questions about whether the United States can offer them a better situation after they fled an authoritarian government.
“Everyone is so afraid,” Mr. Han said. “I didn’t expect this would happen in the United States.”
Boo hoo. You’re here in contradiction of federal law. If you’re so scared and hiding how’d the NY Times get your story?
Since China reopened its borders in January 2023 after Covid lockdowns, more than 63,000 Chinese citizens like Mr. Han have fled and crossed the U.S. southern border without authorization, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, making them the fourth-largest group by nationality after migrants from Venezuela, Haiti, and Ecuador. Under President Trump’s policies, however, illegal crossings along the southern border have dropped dramatically, reaching 6,000 arrests in June, a low not seen in decades.
Does anyone else find it concerning that Chinese nationals are spending oodles of money to come into the U.S. illegally? Perhaps creating some anchor babies so China can have more of its citizens in the US, perhaps using them as spies or worse? Has it occurred to the Fish Wrap that China is planting their citizens in the U.S.?
Most Chinese immigrants fled strict censorship, growing political repression or Beijing’s zero-Covid policies, which often shut down entire cities for weeks, if not months, trapping people in their homes with little access to food, medical care or work. Those who spoke out against the policies could face harassment or detention. But with the Trump administration’s escalating immigration enforcement, many Chinese immigrants like Mr. Han now confront a question they never imagined they would face: Should they stay or leave?
And they were just able to, you know, leave Communist China easy peasy? Also, there’s zero introspection on COVID lockdowns which were pretty much a Democrat thing and supported by the NY Times.
Recently, discussions on Chinese social media have centered around questions including “Should I go back?” or “Who has been back?” Users who have left the country often debate the pros and cons of their decisions. They once discussed “runology” — figuring out how to leave China during the lockdowns. Now, they discuss “reverse runology,” or mapping a way back to China.
If they are so concerned they could head to other countries, right?

ICE recruits former federal workers to join its ranks amid hiring spree
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is recruiting retired federal workers to join its enforcement, legal and investigative units as a part of a broader campaign to beef up hiring.
The requests came in an email, which was shared with NPR and posted on LinkedIn and elsewhere online, and asked them to “serve once more.”
“This is a pivotal moment in our country’s history, and your experience and expertise are vitally needed,” the email states, which includes a message on a new webpage.
I guess they don’t have to learn to code or go work on a farm.
