Without significant change by the United States, the balance of power will continue to shift in China&rsquo;s favor.&rdquo; Furthermore, the &ldquo;Commission [found] that the U.S. military lacks both the capabilities and the capacity required to be confident it can deter and prevail in combat.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>With such a threat abroad, how do the scores of Chinese nationals in America factor in? Can we afford to find out?<\/p>\n<p>No we cannot.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, close the gaps at the southern border. Have Congress provide the funding to shore up and continue construction on a border wall.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese nationals <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/chinese-migrants-fastest-growing-group-us-mexico-border-60-minutes-transcript\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">explained<\/a> how they reached the border, flying to South American countries, such as Ecuador, that do not require Chinese nationals to have a visa, before taking a final flight into Mexico and driving to the wall. It&rsquo;s an organized pathway that has been broadcast on social media platforms like TikTok.<\/p>\n<p>Prevention is key, and a physical barrier could prevent thousands from entering America.<\/p>\n<p>But we already have hundreds of thousands within our borders; the next step is repatriation and deportation.<\/p>\n<p>The United States <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/news\/2024\/07\/02\/dhs-conducts-removal-flight-china\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deported<\/a> 116 Chinese nationals at the end of June, marking &ldquo;the first large charter flight since 2018,&rdquo; according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/07\/03\/us\/us-china-migrants-deportation-flight.html#:~:text=The%20department%20confirmed%20that%20116,U.S.%20presidential%20election%20in%20November.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times<\/a>. While more flights were being scheduled at that time, what is 116 to the staggering number &mdash; 147,954 &mdash; that have crossed illegally since fiscal year 2021?<\/p>\n<p>Repatriation can be tricky, however, to a country that is one of the least cooperative, and is most likely engaging in mass-scale espionage. So America must look elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Any Chinese national known to have entered via the southern border should be deported back to Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Under then-President Trump, the U.S. practiced the &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/archive\/news\/2019\/01\/24\/migrant-protection-protocols\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Remain in Mexico<\/a>&rdquo; policy, aimed at keeping potential immigrants on the Mexico side of the border, ensuring they waited for any vetting process to be completed there, and deporting immigrants who already entered the U.S. from the south. If Mexico is willing to allow these Chinese nationals to fly there, they should be willing to house them.<\/p>\n<p>The pathway to the border is not unknown &mdash; it has been broadcast, and if Mexico is unwilling to shut down these channels, it can deal with the influx.<\/p>\n<p>National security is paramount, and in a time when tensions are high, America cannot take the risk of allowing illegal Chinese nationals to have free rein.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><i><b>The views expressed in this opinion article are those of their author and are not necessarily either d or endorsed by the owners of this website.

The influx of illegal, single adult Chinese nationals crossing the Canadian and Mexican borders has surged dramatically, increasing from 23,172 in fiscal year 2021 to 52,566 by June of fiscal year 2024. In contrast, only 1,282 Chinese nationals entered illegally in fiscal year 2020. Are we adequately addressing this issue? How are Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents managing encounters with these individuals at our borders? A CBP supervisor implemented a streamlined five-question vetting process for detained Chinese immigrants in April, replacing a much longer interview format. This approach suggests that CBP may not be fully recognizing the potential risks involved; many interviewed are being released into the U.S. through parole programs. This situation raises concerns about national security and could facilitate espionage or internal threats.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, on March 27th, one such immigrant accessed Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms\u2014California&#8217;s largest Marine base\u2014under unclear motives. This incident is part of a troubling trend; by September 2023, reports indicated that both legal and illegal Chinese nationals had intentionally infiltrated U.S. military bases around one hundred times to assess security measures at these installations. Sources suggest that many of these individuals may be connected to the Chinese government.<\/p>\n<p>The alarming frequency of these breaches combined with the rising number of illegal Chinese immigrants poses significant national security risks. Former President Donald Trump raised concerns during an April rally about thousands of military-age men entering from China and questioned whether they were attempting to establish an army within the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Experts like Rebecca Grant have echoed similar sentiments regarding potential espionage activities among these individuals while Republican Rep. Mark Green highlighted that many entering are military-age men with ties to China&#8217;s ruling Communist Party.<\/p>\n<p>A recent report from the Commission on National Defense Strategy warned that China is rapidly advancing its military capabilities compared to those of the United States without substantial changes on our part.<\/p>\n<p>Given this external threat coupled with numerous undocumented Chinese nationals already present in America, it\u2019s crucial we take action now rather than later.<\/p>\n<p>First off: secure our southern border by allocating funds for border wall construction as many illegal entrants have been using organized routes through South American countries before reaching Mexico\u2014a pathway widely shared on social media platforms like TikTok.<\/p>\n<p>Prevention is essential; physical barriers can deter thousands from entering illegally but hundreds of thousands remain inside our borders already necessitating repatriation efforts which can be complicated due to China&#8217;s lack of cooperation regarding deportations\u2014especially given their suspected involvement in widespread espionage activities.<\/p>\n<p>Any known undocumented individual who crossed via southern routes should be sent back to Mexico under policies reminiscent of those enacted during Trump&#8217;s presidency aimed at keeping migrants waiting outside until their vetting processes concluded while also deporting those who entered unlawfully previously.<br \/>\nIf Mexico permits flights carrying these individuals into its territory then it should also accommodate them until further arrangements can be made since they\u2019ve exploited known pathways publicized online.<br \/>\nNational security must come first; amid rising tensions globally allowing unauthorized entry for any group poses unacceptable risks moving forward.<br \/>\nThe opinions expressed here belong solely to their author and do not necessarily reflect those held by this website&#8217;s owners or affiliates interested in submitting Op-Eds may refer here for guidelines provided above<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2384447,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Chinese-Nationals.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[33009,47558,33017,36479,44766],"class_list":["post-2384446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-illegal-immigration","tag-immigration-debate","tag-political-analysis","tag-social-issues","tag-societal-impact"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Chinese-Nationals.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2384446"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384446\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2384450,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384446\/revisions\/2384450"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2384447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2384446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2384446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2384446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
