The number of Chinese citizens coming across the southern border from Mexico has skyrocketed to the fastest-growing demographic of illegal immigrants in recent months, triggering serious concerns among lawmakers in Washington.

Tens of thousands of Chinese immigrants have been arrested by Border Patrol agents over the past year, far beyond the hundreds to a couple of thousand seen in recent history preceding the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Customs and Border Protection data. In 2022, fewer than 2,000 Chinese people were stopped at the southern boundary.


In the first half of fiscal 2024 (from October 2023 to March 2024), Border Patrol agents on the U.S.-Mexico border caught 24,214 Chinese illegal immigrants who had come into the country by walking through unfenced areas. The figure is more than the record-high 24,048 Chinese immigrants arrested in all of 2023.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

So, it triggers concerns.  Does it trigger actions?  Not that much concern I guess. **nononono*
