Tens of Thousands of Illegal Chinese Migrants Detained at U.S. Border in Major National Security Threat
As the border crisis continues to spiral, Border Patrol officers are reporting a spike in the number of Chinese migrants apprehended while trying to enter the U.S. illegally, underscoring the threat to national security posed by President Biden’s open borders policy.
Since October 1, around 16,000 Chinese nationals have been detained by Border Patrol agents after illegally crossing the border at various ports of entry. They report that nearly 10,000 such migrants were apprehended in October and November, which means that roughly 6,000 have been arrested since December.
This does not include the 40 illegal migrants who were recently detained by Mexican authorities while on their way to the U.S. by bus in southern Mexico, nor does it include the 180 migrants they apprehended the same day coming from Central and South America toward the United States.
The problem has grown so dramatically that the mainstream media can no longer ignore it, with the New York Times and CNN recently reporting on the problem. An in-depth report by CNN revealed that more than 31,000 Chinese citizens had been apprehended by authorities crossing illegally into America from Mexico during the first 11 months of 2023, which is a notable rise over the average of just 1,500 per year during the previous decade.
Although Chinese president Xi Jinping has claimed that China is in the midst of a “national rejuvenation,” many of those fleeing the country have said they are struggling to survive. Many people there have been left without work after three years of pandemic-related lockdowns and other restrictions, and the rebound many hoped would be seen when restrictions eased never materialized. Meanwhile, the Communist party’s control over every aspect of their lives has led to widespread misery. Crackdowns on free speech and religion is also playing a role, with some Chinese migrants telling CNN that they left for the simple reason that they are Christians.
Chinese nationals becoming the quickest-growing group making border crossings
An analysis by the news outlet indicated that Chinese people are poised to become the quickest-growing group of individuals making border crossings, and the network helping them make their journey to the U.S. has been growing.
Many of them are reportedly beginning their migration in Quito, Ecuador, which has seen a sharp rise in the number of Chinese nationals entering the country. While 13,000 of them entered Ecuador in 2022, 2023 saw more than 45,000 Chinese nationals entering in just the first 11 months of the year.
Numerous businesses are helping them make their journey, offering everything from pickups at the airport to stays in Chinese-run hostels for those who can afford their high price. People with Chinese signs offering help reaching the Colombian border are waiting outside bus stations there, while shops are selling the gear they need to make their trek through the jungle, and groups are handing out maps and instructions in Chinese explaining how to reach the United States.
Vetting process reduced from 40 to 5 questions
This week, the Daily Caller published an internal email from U.S. Customs and Border Protection that instructed officials to reduce the number of questions Chinese migrants are asked in interviews after being apprehended for illegally crossing into the U.S. from a list of 40 questions to just five. This essentially fast-tracks their release into the U.S. while preventing agents from performing due diligence in determining national security threats.
After reviewing the email, a retired CBP deputy patrol agent in charge, J.J. Carrell, told the publication: “I believe the government recognizes the threat of Chinese soldiers and spies that are pouring into America, and they want to try and identify these individuals. However, the same government does not want to stop the flow of illegal aliens or Chinese nationals — just the ‘bad ones,’ which is impossible.”

TSA Plans Big Digital ID Push in 2024
The US’s leading transportation security organization, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), is taking significant steps towards a more digital future. And, of course, that means more surveillance and tracking.
The plan is that, by the end of 2024, many of their operational objectives will encompass a digital identity component, a move that suggests an enduring commitment towards streamlining traveler experiences with technology, even though it undermines privacy.
In a four-part action plan released by the TSA, the agency plans to extend its mobile driver’s license initiative and more widely utilize facial recognition technology in airports. This includes up-scaling their current pilot program testing digital identities and mobile licenses — used at TSA checkpoints — to at least nine states. It follows a previous announcement in May that disclosed the TSA’s examination of the potential for digital license and ID implementations across 25 domestic airports.
Underlining the breadth of the TSA’s digital expansion, the agency has disclosed plans to add a fresh platform to the existing quintet used for digital identification. This signifies that travelers will have six options, including mobile devices, at their disposal for digital identification. However, specifics regarding these enhancements were not included in the public brief.
Parallel with these digital ID efforts, the TSA also commits to amplifying the utilization of facial identification systems under their PreCheck service, a program aimed at preemptively assessing threats and facilitating a quicker airport security process for enrolled travelers. The service is somewhat controversial as it allows the agency deeper access into data and information about an individual and their lives – some of which go beyond what travelers believe they have access to.

The aim is to double the number of airports equipped with this technology, slated to increase from five in the past year to ten by the end of this year. Similarly, the number of airlines engaging with PreCheck is set to grow from two to three.
These envisioned goals mirror the directives within a biometrics strategy document released in 2018, wherein the officials emphasized broadening the user base of biometric systems and fortifying the necessary infrastructure.
Notably, the latest plans did not acknowledge the TSA’s previous intentions to collaborate with Customs and Border Protection on biometrics for overseas travelers, a goal that was a facet of the 2018 strategy.

Must Watch! Weaponized Migration Program Exposed: Documentary Tracks Entire Illegal Alien Route From Ecuador To U.S.
An explosive documentary by independent journalists exposes the globalist-run weaponized migration program by tracking the route used by the illegal aliens to reach the U.S. southern border.
Muckraker journalists embedded themselves with a migrant caravan along a vast migration trail spanning thousands of miles from Quito, Ecuador to the United States border, revealing the industrialized scale of the mass migration scheme facilitated by cartels, governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
“This video will expose the entire illegal alien pipeline for what it is: a United Nations weaponized migration agenda masquerading as an organic humanitarian crisis,” Muckraker journalist Anthony Rubin begins in the documentary.

“This agenda directly benefits cartels and human smugglers, exposes the United States to incredible geopolitical threats, and could potentially usher in permanent one-party rule.”
The Muckraker journalists explain how the millions of migrants make their way through the lengthy trek with the help of shady NGOs and transnational cartels.
The journey included “Crossing the Darién Gap. Discovering secret Chinese hotels. Getting smuggled into Mexico by the Sinaloa Cartel. Embedding with a massive caravan. Riding the Mexican Train of Death. And finally, getting kidnapped by the Gulf Cartel,” the group wrote on X.
“In this documentary, you will learn how the United Nations is executing an industrial scale weaponized migration program and you will see the entire route that millions of illegal aliens are following to the United States every year!” they added.
Muckraker had previously exposed secret hotels catered to Chinese migrants in Ecuador as part of a large “migration network” that reaches the U.S.
Over 10 million illegal aliens have crossed into the U.S. since Joe Biden captured the White House in 2021, according to Customs and Border Patrol data, creating an unprecedented national security and humanitarian crisis in border states and so-called “sanctuary cities” alike.
