According to Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) apprehended 269 Chinese nationals at the San Diego sector in one day.
“Per CBP source, Border Patrol’s San Diego sector apprehended 269 Chinese nationals who crossed illegally yesterday,” Melugin wrote.
“More than 20,000 Chinese nationals have now been encountered by CBP in FY’24 so far. For perspective, there were only 450 Chinese encountered in all of FY’21,” he continued.
“A large amount of the illegal crossings in San Diego sector happen in Jacumba where there is a small gap in the wall that illegal immigrants pour through every day. (We shot this a couple weeks ago). Inexplicably, the Biden admin has made no effort to fill or fix this small gap,” Melugin explained.

“More than 24,000 Chinese migrants crossed US borders illegally in 2023, around 2,000 in 2022, and just 342 in 2021 – making them the fastest-growing illegal entries,” Kanekoa The Great writes.

From Kanekoa The Great:
Border chiefs warned the Homeland Security Committee last year that they were concerned they could be letting in CCP spies, according to the Daily Mail.
Chair of the Committee, Rep. Mark Green, says the surge in Chinese migrants is a “massive” national security concern.
He added: “While it is true that some individuals may be seeking relief from authoritarian regimes, there is no way for our brave men and women on the frontlines of this crisis to adequately vet all of them before being effectively forced to release them—particularly when countries like China won’t allow us access to their various law enforcement databases.”
“My Committee has been informed that some of these Chinese nationals have even been found to be affiliated with the People’s Liberation Army and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—and those are just the ones we’ve been able to vet.”
“As the CCP works to undermine and infiltrate our institutions and even military installations, Secretary Mayorkas has made it clear to the entire world that our borders are open.”
“This is simply unsustainable, and the national security risks are massive.”

“60 Minutes” aired a report earlier this month highlighting the substantial increase in Chinese nationals crossing into the United States from Mexico.
“A growing number of Chinese nationals, trying to escape repressive politics and a bleak economy, are headed to the U.S. They’re turning to a gap at the southern border with Mexico as a way to get in,” the newsmagazine show wrote.
