"Last year, a record number of Chinese migrants crossed the
U.S. southern border without authorization. In search of jobs and freedom from China's heavy-handed pandemic response, they followed paths long walked by migrants from many countries. But here in the U.S. they have come under a different kind of scrutiny, because they hail from America's biggest geopolitical rival.
Politicians on the right, led by former President Donald Trump, baselessly claim Chinese migrants are spies or drug smugglers, sent by Beijing to harm Americans."
"At the Republican National Convention in July, former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro described migrants crossing the border as "murderers, rapists, human traffickers, terrorists ... Chinese spies."
None of those claims stands up to scrutiny.
Research based on years of federal and local government
data shows that unauthorized migrants — from China or elsewhere — do not threaten
national security or
commit crimes more than other immigrants or people born in the U.S."
Of course not all of them are saints, I'm sure.......
