Colombian traffickers have played\u2063 a major role in facilitating these crossings. The number of monthly Chinese migrant crossings in the Gap has also seen a significant increase throughout the year,\u200d with over 2,500\u2062 crossings in September compared to just over 900 in\u2063 January.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Daily Mail, more than 20,000 Chinese individuals were arrested\u200c for \u200billegally crossing the border from\u200d Mexico between January\u200c and September, a tenfold increase compared to the previous year. Chinese \u200bonline influencers have exploited this situation\u2062 by promoting the route through short video platforms and messaging apps, providing instructions\u2063 on navigation, finding guides, survival techniques, recommended hotels, and even bribing police in different countries. They also offer \u200ddetailed guidance on dealing with U.S. immigration officers.
