Shocking images and videos taken in California this weekend show dozens of Chinese migrants arriving in the border town of Jacumba and telling reporters shamelessly how they’re here to ‘take the money’.
Video of the migrants shows dozens and dozens, possibly up hundreds of migrants, crossing the international boundary near Jacumba, California, according to the footage taken by Griff Jenkins of Fox News.
‘This is one of the largest groups of Chinese I have ever come across and there were in two groups at the same time crossing in Jacumba, CA,’ the correspondent tweeted last week.

More than 150 Chinese nationals a day are sneaking into the US illegally since October, according to startling US Customs and Border Protection statistics, the parent agency of the US Border Patrol.
The 2023 fiscal year reportedly saw over 37,000 Chinese migrants encountered at the border – with a staggering 20,000 more since October, when the 2024 fiscal year began.
The Chinese surge is part of a historic and overwhelming wave of migrants seen at the Southern Border of the country since 2021.

The migrants are headed to the west coast because that’s may be their final destination, Border Congressman Tony Gonzales (R, Texas) told DailyMail.com.
‘As I’ve spoken to different agencies about why some communities (groups of migrants) go one place and others go another, one: it depends on what cartel controls that pipeline,’ Gonzales explained.
‘It’s very clear that the Sinaloa Cartel is the one controlling that operation and sending Chinese more towards the California corridor…California/Arizona corridor that they control. That’s half of the equation.
‘The other half is where is the population going to go. Where are the large populations of Asian Americans tend to be– in California, New York is another area, but that West Coast area is a big population center for them.’
The Chinese arrivals have raised concern with elected officials about why the citizens for a US foe are coming here in increasing numbers.

‘It’s tough to put everybody in the same box: that they’re all tourist, they’re all coming all gang members, they’re all bad actors,’ the Republican added.

‘This is once again, why is its so important that we allow zero people to come over illegally, and any of these people seeking asylum, they get their cases heard immediately.
