The Department of Homeland Security says that hundreds of Chinese nationals have attempted to illegally enter the United States through the southern border since the outbreak of the coronavirus in China.

Oh joy! Glad they were caught. Hope none got away.

To be fair, given how long it takes to make that crossing, I'm not concerned that these people have the coronavirus. But I'm happy they were captured all the same! Good job, ICE!

Many more illegals get through than are caught. So to think the BP caught all the Chinese (or any other group for that matter) is wishful thinking.

Also rest assured not all illegals who are OTM are arriving in the same manner. Some make an arduous journey, others are practically dropped off at the border, and only need a few hours to come across.
Don't think for a minute there are not terrorists coming across our border on any given day. That combined with all sorts of sick and infected people with XYZ are also coming in.

But hey, it is _____ist or ______phobic to think such things, right?

I know the article said that this has happened since the CV outbreak, but I have a hard time believing the two are connected.
It takes a long time and a lot of planning for most people to leave China and arrive at our border wall or border gate. No one has left Wuhan in recent weeks - at least not legally.


Build The Wall; build it tall.

Maybe, but if God forbid one day a terrorist lunatic causes mass casualties, and was determined to have crossed into America via our porous borders, who will the leftists blame?

Certainly not themselves, right?

I just finished a book called "Deep Under Cover". It's about a Soviet spy who came to America under cover, but then fell in love with our way of life and our land of possibilities.
So he figured out a way to quietly quit. Quit, not defect! And stay here. He even made a career at Met Life.

He is now a citizen. Jack Barsky.



I have no doubt that we have been infiltrated and I also have no doubt that some of those infiltrators have looked around and decided that America is not so bad, so they quit - in one form or the other.


But we still gotta build The Wall.

That is a long boat ride or swim from China to get to our Southern border...



Are these the poor "migrants" that the Left demands that we help ? Are they looking for asylum? Are they refugees?

Or are they looking for the free handouts and to take advantage of our gullible generosity?



We need a wall and better security at the border because as the world gets smaller and reaches a critical mass we will be seeing more and more people trying to sneak into America.



It is scary to think what is going to happen if a Democrat gets into office and the media is told to stop reporting on the negative news from the border.

I’ll bet that it’s nothing compared to the number of Chinese who are overstaying their visas.

I think that it was a huge tactical mistake when Dingdong Hillary Clinton proclaimed that we should bring in even MORE refugees than Obama. Along with her refusal to campaign in Wisconsin, Mich and Penn is why we are stuck with Trump.
