Chinese nationals crossing into US from Mexico border reaches new high, sparking national security concerns
The number of Chinese migrants entering the US at the southern border has reached a record high — sparking national security concerns over possible spies.
Customs and Border Protection
officials apprehended 24,048 Chinese citizens at the border with Mexico over the 2023 fiscal year ending in September — more than 12 times the 1,970 arrests in the previous fiscal year.
It is also a more than 7,000% increase from 2021, when just 323 Chinese nationals crossed the border during strict pandemic travel bans and lockdowns.
The trend further highlights how migrants worldwide are aware of the disastrous controls at the US border — while also increasing fears of possible
Chinese spies sneaking in while hiding with regular migrants.
“Clearly that border is a big opportunity,” Rebecca Grant, a national security analyst at IRIS Independent Research, recently
told Newsweek.
The United Nations predicts China will lose 310,000 people through emigration this year.
