Under Biden's leadership, the number of Chinese residents entering the U.S. illegally has gone through the roof. Most of them are single guys of military age. Since fiscal year 2021, more than 140,000 Chinese have come into the country illegally. One of them was just caught at a Marine Corps base on the southwest border.
Gregory Bovino, Chief Patrol Agent for the El Centro Sector, said that Border Patrol agents "responded to a call from the Marine Corp Base about a Chinese national who entered the base without permission and refused to leave."
The El Centro Sector is right next to the Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma, Arizona. It is west of the CBP Yuma Sector. The El Centro Sector is 71 miles long and mostly desert and hilly land that runs along the border with Mexico. All of Nevada, a southeasterly part of California, and the western part of Arizona are in the Yuma Sector, which is to its east.
All of the Marine Corps' tactical aviation units train at MCAS Yuma, which is also home to several squadrons, such as fighter, air combat, and aviation weapons and tactics squadrons. In El Centro, California, just 15 minutes from the border with Mexico, there is a Naval Air Facility Base that is an important place for pilots to learn how to fly.
According to Bovino, the Chinese citizen was "confirmed to be in the country illegally," and "his purpose and intent behind his actions are still being investigated."
Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows that most of the high number of Chinese residents illegally entering the U.S. along the southwest border do so in California. At the northern border, most of them do so in New York.
