REVEALED: The record number of Chinese illegal migrants arrested at the border in the last six months as entries spike by 7,000% in three years

Chinese nationals crossing the border in 2024 so far has massively surged from prior years and is causing heightened concern over why so many migrants from China are coming illegally into the country.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) arrested nearly 25,000 nationals from the People's Republic of China (PRC) since October, according to government data of crossings at the southern and northern borders over the last four years.

The recent figures represent an astounding 7,000 percent increase from the same time period in 2021.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas insists that he struck a recent agreement with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for the U.S. to send back to Beijing more deportation flights full of migrants.

The number of Chinese nationals who crossed the U.S. border illegally in Fiscal Year 2024 has already surpassed the total number of this demographic who were apprehended in all of FY2023

Only 342 migrants from China were detained by CBP in Fiscal Year 2021 and 1,987 were apprehended the next fiscal year cycle. 

But the number of illegal migrants coming from China surged in 2023 with 24,125 crossing the entire year.

There are still six months left in Fiscal Year 2024, but the number of Chinese nationals apprehended by CBP during the first half of the year has already surpassed the total number in the year prior.

CBP's data set includes only apprehensions of Chinese migrants who crossed illegally and does not include ports of entry where tens of thousands of migrants from the PRC have crossed over the last few years.

The border crossing surge from PRC comes as the communist country becomes increasingly hostile toward the U.S. and attempts to assert dominance in the region as it inches toward conflict with Taiwan.

The overwhelming majority of Chinese nationals encountered illegally crossing the borders are single adults. This demographic is concerning to some who claim they are spies for the CCP.

Sec. Mayorkas said last week during a House hearing that the U.S. has so far sent one flight of Chinese nationals back to the PRC – and there are plans to send more.

More than 46,000 Chinese nationals arrived since the start of Fiscal Year 2023, according to CBP data – 24,296 of whom crossed illegally at U.S. borders. Pictured: Chinese migrants arrive in Jacumba, California on Wednesday, October 4, 2023

The DHS chief said the new plans come after he was able to speak for the first time with his CCP counterpart and push for more removal flights of their illegal border hoppers.

Mayorkas appeared before the House Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee last week regarding his agency's 2025 budget proposal, which totals $108 billion – a 4 percent increase from the prior year.

It's not surprising that the number of Chinese migrants crossing into the U.S. has increased in the last few years with border hopping surging to record-high rates in every category.

The House voted in February to impeach Mayorkas and the articles are being sent to the Senate on Tuesday.

Mayorkas will likely be acquitted in the Democrat-controlled upper chamber.

Meanwhile, congressional Republicans took the chance with Mayorkas in the hot seat last week to grill the embattled DHS Secretary over the lack of border security.

Mayorkas said during a House hearing last week that after meeting for the first time with CCP Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong (right), an agreement was reached for the Beijing to accept more flights of deportations of Chinese nationals who illegally crossed into the U.S.

This includes the more than 46,000 Chinese nationals who illegally crossed the southern border since the start of Fiscal Year 2023, according to CBP data.

'For the first time I had an engagement with my counterpart from the People's Republic of China to ensure that China would begin to accept removal flights so that we can deliver a consequence regime for individuals from the People's Republic of China who do not have a legal basis to remain in the United States,' Mayorkas said.

'And those discussions are ongoing,' the cabinet official added, revealing: 'And we actually did effect one flight most recently, the first time in a number of years.'
