A House Committee is set to investigate the significant rise in illegal immigration from China to the United States, following multiple reports highlighting the surge. The investigation comes in response to a sharp increase in the number of Chinese nationals illegally crossing the border, with figures for this year already surpassing those of previous years. In 2024, approximately 25,000 Chinese citizens have entered the U.S. illegally, compared to 24,000 in 2023 and significantly lower numbers in preceding years. This escalation, noted as an 8000% increase since March 2021, has prompted concerns about national security, particularly as some reports suggest that many of these individuals destroy their passports upon crossing. Additionally, northern border apprehensions continue to break records with 143 KSTs apprehended at the northern border this fiscal year.
