Chinese Gangs Working With Mexican Cartels To Smuggle Aliens Into U.S.

From the Daily Mail: "Chinese 'snakehead' gangs are working WITH the cartel to bring migrants into the US - as others walk in LEGALLY with help of CBP One App that 320,000 used to fly in." An excerpt:

    The sudden rush of Chinese migrants on the US border has baffled Americans asking why they are coming - and how they're getting here. 

    Now, it can be revealed for the first time that some are being aided by Chinese gangs known as 'snakeheads' who are operating in synchrony with Mexican cartels. 

    Known for their brutal people smuggling tactics, the snakeheads have long ferried migrants into unsuspecting nations around the world. 

    Now, DailyMail.com can reveal that they are working to secure entry to the US for thousands of Chinese nationals. 

    First, the Chinese secure their route through a smuggler, paying thousands to fly from their native country to Mexico and other central and south American cities.

    Then, they are shown the way across the border by one of the gangs. 

    Others are arriving legally after using the controversial CBP One app that has been used by 320,000 to fly in after claiming asylum from their home countries. 

    Some of those who came into the country legally via the app were observed by DailyMail.com in San Diego last week. They were greeted by boorish taxi drivers who refused to discuss the arrangement or how they were hired. 

    When approached, the drivers snarled and refused questions.

    They then took payments of between $1,000 and $1,500 per person for the cramped, three-hour ride. 

    Their eagerness to be here is clear. What is surprising is their intention to return to China, 'at some point', as some indicated when probed about their journey. 

    Unlike the desperate families swimming the Rio Grande or prying through razor wire with little more than the clothes on their backs, the Chinese arrive stylishly. 

    There was barely a hair out of place in the case of one man who paused for a cigarette before his taxi journey, keeping a close eye on his smart carry-on luggage and weekender bag. 

    The 'snakeheads' have long operated along the border, but the sudden rise in demand has sent business through the roof,  former intelligence officer Todd Bensman tells DailyMail.com. 

    'Chinese smuggling has changed in recent years. 

    'Migrants can now take self-propelled trips to Mexico by following what they see online or learn in a chatroom, where they previously had to rely on Snakeheads.'

    Several migrants from China interviewed by DailyMail.com in San Diego this week confirmed they had paid Chinese smugglers in exchange for being shown routes and specific spots where they could make illegal entry into California.

No one knows how many illegal immigrants from China have tangoed over the border and disappeared into our society. The numbers I heard last were roughly 37,000 in fiscal year 2023 and 20,000 more since then, for a total of roughly 57,000, but that was three weeks ago.

I think that the actual number of reasons is several magnitudes north of that figure.
