Amid an alarming rise in the number of Chinese migrants illegally entering the United States, concerns about national security and motives behind this influx have been growing. According to a report from Fox News, more than 20,000 Chinese nationals have illegally crossed the border since the new fiscal year began on Oct. 1.

Border Patrol Union Chief expressed strong concerns about the situation, stating, "We are witnessing middle-aged Chinese men quickly pouring into our great nation... We have Communist China deliberately sending their people here by the thousands! Are they spies? Will they be joining our military for naturalization citizenship? Are they going to create malware and attack our power grids? WE DON’T KNOW!!"

In response to the crisis, a Democratic official from Illinois raised the issue of illegal immigration, emphasizing the importance of respecting laws and American values. They said, "What we are seeing now is an invasion, period... what we have seen so far are criminals who don’t share American values."

Furthermore, concerns were raised about the lack of tracking and monitoring of these migrants by the government. The Department of Homeland Security was criticized for not knowing who is entering the country and what their intentions are. The situation was linked to partisan policies and the administration of President Biden, with claims that national security risks have never been higher.

Governor Pritzker’s statement that the migrants "just want to work" was met with skepticism, as more questions were raised about the potential implications of such a large influx of individuals. The uncertainty surrounding the motives and activities of these migrants has led to heightened fears about the security of the nation.

As the situation continues to unfold, the need for comprehensive measures to address the influx of middle-aged Chinese migrants into the U.S. remains a top priority for authorities and policymakers.
