Concerns over national security and immigration have intensified as reports indicate a significant increase in Chinese nationals illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. High-ranking officials, including former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and Governor Greg Abbott of Texas, have highlighted the growing presence of Chinese migrants and potential spies among them. Ratcliffe described the situation as a direct infiltration by China, emphasizing the rapid growth of Chinese nationals encountered at the border, with figures reaching ~43,000 since FY23 alone. Governor Abbott, in response, has announced the deployment of additional National Guard troops and the installation of razor wire barriers along the Texas border to curb illegal entry. This move comes as part of Operation Lone Star, launched in 2021, which has reportedly reduced the percentage of illegal immigrants arrested in Texas from 69% to 34%, according to federal statistics. Meanwhile, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has also pledged to send troops to Texas, underscoring the collaborative effort among states to address the issue. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection recorded a significant jump in encounters with Chinese migrants, from 37,000 in the last year, marking over a 50-fold increase from 2021. This surge has raised alarms about the potential for espionage, with Ratcliffe and others questioning not if, but how many spies China has sent. The situation has prompted calls for immediate legislative action to bolster border security, specifically mentioning the need for the Senate to take up the House GOP’s border security bill, H.R. 2, immediately.
