Biden’s border crisis
President Joe Biden’s border crisis has led to the emergence of multiple other issues, with one particular concern standing out.
Illegally crossing
The influx of Chinese nationals illegally crossing the southern border has surged by 7,000% since 2021, and this trend is projected to increase to 14,000% by the end of the fiscal year.
Border Patrol
In 2021, the U.S. Border Patrol detained 342 Chinese nationals, a number that spiked to 1,987 in 2022 and skyrocketed to 24,125 in 2023, excluding those who managed to evade capture. The current year has already surpassed 2023’s figures with 24,296 arrests, highlighting the rapid growth of Chinese migrants illegally entering the country, predominantly comprising military-age men.
Investigate
Considering the significant threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party to the U.S., one would expect the Department of Homeland Security to thoroughly investigate these migrants to understand their motives for coming here.
Significant surge
The significant surge in migrants from a major adversary demands in-depth reports and thorough investigations, yet there are scant signs that the Biden administration will promptly address this issue, much like other border-related crises.
Lack of action
Remarkably, the media appears to shield Biden’s lack of action. Rather than focusing on the core concerns of the crisis, many in the media seem preoccupied with using politically correct language to describe the illegal migrants.
Mike Johnson
For instance, Speaker Mike Johnson highlighted the influx of “military-aged single men” entering the country from adversarial nations during a House speech. This framing was questioned by a Washington Post columnist.
Frightening
“It takes very little unpacking to see the frightening veneer that Johnson is applying here. … It’s all framing: Johnson wants listeners to hear the phrase ‘military aged’ and assume that the immigrants are dangerous and intend to harm Americans.”
China’s influence
Beyond just technological advancements, China’s influence is seeping into the U.S. Rather than holding the Biden administration accountable for its shortcomings, many media outlets appear more focused on semantics.
Utilizing apps
It is imperative for U.S. intelligence agencies to question the reasons behind this trend. Reports indicate that migrants are utilizing apps like WeChat and Douyin (China’s TikTok equivalent) for guidance on crossing the border.
Espionage activities
These apps, tightly controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, facilitate the escape of numerous young men from China. The implications of this orchestrated exodus should raise concerns, especially considering China’s history of espionage activities in the U.S.
Alarming
Despite these alarming signs, some are content with the simplistic explanation that Chinese migrants seek better opportunities in the U.S. While this may hold true for some, it would be unwise to generalize this motive for all individuals.
Apprehended
Recently, a Chinese national who illegally entered the U.S. was apprehended while attempting to break into a Marine Corps base in California.
American military
The Wall Street Journal reports over 100 instances of Chinese nationals trying to access American military and other facilities in recent years. Are these individuals truly seeking economic opportunities at strategically significant military bases?
