Californian Mayor: Chinese Nationals Using Mexican IDs Crossing Over Southern Border Into US
Mayor of El Cajon, California Bill Wells said, "I talked to the border patrol guys, they're all ready to quit. They say it's just insanely out of control".
CALIFORNIA - A Californian Mayor has released a video showing "hundreds of passports and credit cards" torn up and discarded by the border in San Diego, California, many of whom are Chinese nationals, some of whom are using Mexican IDs to gain access to the southern border so that they can cross over into the United States.
The Major said that the blue IDs are issued in China, the yellow IDs are issued by Mexico. He said that most of the IDs of Chinese nationals were issued by Mexico labeling them as "humanitarian workers" or "visitors" which he said is likely so that the Chinese nationals can show that they have a valid reason to be in Mexico.
Mayor of El Cajon, California Bill Wells said, "I talked to the border patrol guys, they're all ready to quit. They say it's just insanely out of control," he said, adding "They think people don't care and have no sense of how big the problem is".
"The American people really need to wake up to how significant this problem really is."
U.S. border patrol authorities detained more than 24,000 Chinese citizens crossing the southern border in the 2023 fiscal year, which was 12 (nearly 13) times more than was recorded the previous year (fiscal year 2022).
