Others who arrived in Jacumba came from Türkiye and Syria. Border Patrol agents previously warned Washington lawmakers that it is impossible for them to screen everyone entering the country because the numbers are so out of control.

Migrants are heading to the West Coast because that may be their final destination, border congressman Tony Gonzales (R, Texas) told DailyMail.com.

‘As I have spoken with different agencies about why some communities (groups of migrants) go to one place and others go to another, one: it depends on which cartel controls that pipeline,’ Gonzales explained.

‘It is very clear that the Sinaloa Cartel is the one who controls this operation and sends more Chinese to the California corridor… California/Arizona corridor that they control. That’s half the equation.

‘The other half is where the population will go. Where do large populations of Asian Americans tend to be? In California, New York is another area, but that area of ​​the west coast is a big population center for them.

The Chinese arrivals have raised concerns among elected officials about why citizens of an enemy of the United States are coming here in increasing numbers.

“It’s difficult to put everyone in the same box: that they’re all tourists, they’re all coming, they’re all gang members, they’re all bad actors,” the Republican added.

According to government data, Chinese immigrants file more successful asylum claims in the United States than any other nationality.

‘At the same time, it cannot be said that everyone comes here in search of opportunity and flees Xi’s repressive regime.

‘Again, that is why it is so important that we do not allow any people to come illegally, and that any of these people seeking asylum get their case immediately.
