Hundreds of illegal Chinese migrants were apprehended at the southern border this week, resulting in Chinese immigration being on track to break records. 

This week, over 200 illegal Chinese nationals were apprehended in San Diego, as President Joe Biden's immigration crisis continues to threaten the nation's national security risk. 

Over the last three days, over 452 Chinese illegal migrants have been detained in California— exceeding the more than 450 apprehended in fiscal year 2021. 

The 2023 fiscal year saw over 37,000 Chinese migrants encountered at the border, with a stunning 20,000 more nationals crossing the southern border since October. 

Since Biden took office in 2021, the number of apprehensions of Chinese migrants attempting to enter the U.S. illegally skyrocketed from being in the single digits to thousands every month— resulting in a dramatic rise in Chinese apprehensions since the president's first month in office until now.

Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) warned that the influx of Chinese migrants is a "massive" national security risk for the United States. Read more, see XS and videos here.
