Got some great news here for California Representative Eric Swalwell.
For those of us who are not Eric Swalwell, well, we're left asking, "Why in the world are a record number of Chinese nationals crossing our border in 2023?"
Let's take a look at this, because it's a bit concerning, especially when you consider the type of espionage the Chinese are into these days.
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.
24,048!!!
That's how many Chinese nationals we caught at the border in FY 2023!!
In case you were wondering, yes, this is a record number. Should be obvious, but maybe I have some Dem readers, I don't know.
Speaking of Dems, I have to ask them, why in the world do you think this many Chinese nationals are being apprehended at the border?
Are they fleeing South America? Mexico? Why is this a thing?
And before you go calling me a racist I'd like to let you know that Chinese kids score much higher on standardized tests than your average American, which makes them white supremacists by your definition. So we should all come together here and put an end to this right away.
Anyhow, more from the story:
Many of these migrants cross into the US at the border with San Diego, after traversing the dangerous Darien Gap in Panama.
In fact, Chinese people represented the fourth-highest nationality to cross the gap, after Venezuelans, Ecuadorians and Haitians, according to Panamanian immigration authorities.
They often first travel to Ecuador, where they can fly without a visa.
They then follow videos and messages posted online, which offer a step-by-step guide from previous migrants about how to get into the US illegally — including tips on what to pack, where to find guides, how to survive in the jungle, and what to do when they encounter US immigration officials.
Seriously, how many of these folks — of the 24,048 we are aware of — how many of them are Chinese spies?
This is a legitimate worry.
And let's assume there are some spies in the crowd (because there probably are), how convenient for Eric Swalwell that they're mostly crossing into California, ey?
EEEEYYYYY?????
