[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, did you even read the article you posted - beyond the headline?  A whopping 663 Chinese crossed the Mexican border in 8 months. It said many of them were asylum cases, wanted to be sent home, and were trafficked.

The vast majority who do choose to stay here - and there are many who don't - are highly-skilled. Besides, there are tons of Americans who have Chinese companies or US companies who do business exclusively with China who are making a shit-ton of money. I assume their motives should be scrutinized as well.[/quote]

Not true at all.  There are lots of unskilled Chinese here illegally.  The articles cited just one source of illegal Chinese who came and in just one place.  The problem is far more massive.  The article was meant as an example. In 2015, there was a deportation backlog of 39,000 Chinese nationals here illegally.  That's not counting the ones still in proceedings or detention or the ones underground. That's just the ones we couldn't get on planes.   There are 2M Chinese born people in the United States.
