The southern border of the United States has been looking more like a traffic jam in Beijing, as the number of Chinese nationals sneaking into the country has shot up faster than a bottle rocket on the Fourth of July. Border Patrol agents have been working overtime to corral the tens of thousands of illegal Chinese immigrants who’ve decided to make a run for it into the land of the free.
The number of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border continues at a frightening rate… Meanwhile, the persisting surge has only served to increase havoc in border states and big cities across the nation.https://t.co/R2YZ9LHcF4

The Customs and Border Protection data has revealed that in just the first half of fiscal 2024, a staggering 24,214 Chinese individuals were caught red-handed crossing the border, which is already more than the record-high 24,048 Chinese immigrants arrested in the entirety of 2023. At this rate, it looks like the U.S. is on track to have a total of 48,000 Chinese migrants in custody by the end of the year. That’s a lot of fortune cookies and not enough Border Patrol agents to stop them all.
But it’s not just the sheer number of Chinese immigrants that has people hitting the panic button; it’s the potential national security threats that come with it. Some worried lawmakers are concerned that China might be using this influx of immigrants as a Trojan horse to send spies and other mischief-makers into the U.S., and they’re not exactly thrilled about the idea of China turning the good ol’ U.S. of A. into their personal espionage playground.
Representative Tony Gonzales from Texas, no stranger to the border woes, has been raising the alarm bells in Washington, pointing out that California, in particular, has been the preferred hotspot for these Chinese migrants to set up shop. And with most of these newcomers being processed and released into the U.S., it’s like giving out free tickets to Disneyland, but instead of Mickey Mouse, you get a potential Chinese spy.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has pledged to tackle this issue. Still, with China refusing to take their citizens back, it’s like trying to return a holiday present without a receipt. And to make matters even more complicated, it seems like the culprits might be using the app du jour, TikTok, to orchestrate this whole smuggling shindig. Representative Mike Gallagher has been leading the charge to sell the app to the highest bidder, believing it’s been playing an unwitting role in the migration mayhem.
All of this is happening while the tally of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border from over 150 countries has hit over 1 million just in 2024. Forget the great American melting pot; it looks like we’re brewing up a whole international buffet there. With the situation teetering on the edge of mayhem, it seems like the U.S. is facing a Chinese immigration tsunami, and it’s not exactly the kind of wave that’s bringing good fortune with it. Watch out for the chopsticks, America, and things that are about to get interesting.
