Chinese Migrants Eclipse Mexican Nationals in Key Southern Border Sector
26th February 2024
The number of Chinese migrants being encountered in a key sector of the southern border is exceeding that of Mexican nationals, a trend ongoing for years that has renewed national security concerns.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data obtained by Fox News shows that Chinese nationals are the second-largest nationality encountered at the border in San Diego Sector since the fiscal year began in October.
There have been 21,000 Chinese nationals encountered, second only to Colombia (28,000). Third is Mexican nationals with 18,000, followed by Brazil (8,700) and Ecuador (7,700). Other countries of origin include Turkey, Guinea, India, Guatemala and Peru.
John Derbyshire was fond of saying that there wasn’t anything wrong with New York City that about a million ethnic Chinese wouldn’t fix. I guess we’ll find out.
