"Rise of Chinese Migrants: Impact on US Southern Border and California"

Chinese migrants, driven by a desire for freedom and escaping China's political climate and sluggish economy, are increasingly crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, with 37,000 apprehended last year, 50 times more than two years earlier. Many use TikTok for guidance, paying smugglers to reach a 4-foot gap in the border fence. With visas harder to secure, they turn to illegal crossings, seeking asylum upon surrendering to Border Patrol. However, the surge has led to challenges for residents like Jerry Shuster, who has seen thousands of migrants pass through his property, prompting frustration with authorities' inaction.
