Rise in Chinese migrants entering U.S. by foot, officials report.

A growing number of Chinese immigrants are using social media as a guide to make the dangerous journey to the U.S. without papers, often taking weeks and traversing thousands of miles on planes, buses, boats, motorcycles and on foot. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported that, in the past five months, at least 4,300 Chinese undocumented migrants have been apprehended crossing the southern border, which amounts to more than double the number for all of the previous year. Some social media posts even advise migrants to cross in California rather than in the South, as stricter immigration policies could mean worse treatment on arrival.
