The number of Chinese nationals entering the U.S. illegally has skyrocketed this fiscal year compared to prior years, and fiscal 2024 is already outpacing last year.
For comparison, in fiscal 2022, there were just 1,987 apprehensions, and in fiscal 2021 there were just 342. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
Those numbers only account for those entering illegally between ports of entry. Including ports of entry, there have been 41,970 encounters, compared to 52,700 in fiscal 2023. He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
