Surge in Chinese Illegal Immigration to US.

Chinese nationals are crossing the US-Mexico border in unprecedented numbers, with over 4,300 encounters in the first few months of FY 2023, surpassing the total for 2022. The wave of Chinese migrants comes as the country bristles against Chinese President Xi Jinping's continued crackdown on freedoms. Republicans have accused President Biden of refusing to enforce US border policies, which they argue sends the message to other migrants that the US border is open. The Biden administration saw 2.3 million migrant encounters in 2022, and more are expected in 2023.
