Chinese nationals crossing the border in 2024 so far has massively surged from prior years and is causing heightened concern over why so many migrants from China are coming illegally into the country.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) arrested nearly 25,000 nationals from the People's Republic of China (PRC) since October, according to government data of crossings at the southern and northern borders over the last four years.
The recent figures represent an astounding 7,000 percent increase from the same time period in 2021.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas insists that he struck a recent agreement with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for the U.S. to send back to Beijing more deportation flights full of migrants.
The number of Chinese nationals who crossed the U.S. border illegally in Fiscal Year 2024 has already surpassed the total number of this demographic who were apprehended in all of FY2023
There is a 7,000% increase in the number of Chinese migrants illegally crossing the southern and northern U.S. borders from October through March compared to the same time period in FY2021. Pictured: Chinese migrants are detained by CBP in Jacumba, Calif. on Nov. 11, 2023
Only 342 migrants from China were detained by CBP in Fiscal Year 2021 and 1,987 were apprehended the next fiscal year cycle.
But the number of illegal migrants coming from China surged in 2023 with 24,125 crossing the entire year.
There are still six months left in Fiscal Year 2024, but the number of Chinese nationals apprehended by CBP during the first half of the year has already surpassed the total number in the year prior.
CBP's data set includes only apprehensions of Chinese migrants who crossed illegally and does not include ports of entry where tens of thousands of migrants from the PRC have crossed over the last few years.
