US authorities arrested about 50,000 Chinese nationals for illegal entry at America’s southern border between January 2023 and May 2024. Chinese migrants are the fastest-growing group illegally entering the US from Mexico, with their numbers spiking after China eased pandemic travel restrictions in late 2022. Most of the Chinese asylum seekers begin pursuing new lives in communities like Monterey Park, a Los Angeles suburb with a large Chinese community. The Post spoke with some of the new arrivals about the challenges they face in the US. Their experiences revealed a complex picture of migration, adaptation and American dreams at times fulfilled - yet often shattered.

Most of the people here owe a lot of debt. As far as I know, a man owed several million due to business losses, then sold his house, borrowed all the money he could, and then the whole family ran away one night!
I worked in many countries and spent a lot of money and efforts on visas and work permits. Including China. People shouldn’t go illegally abroad. They create sub standard situations.
I know someone here in China who owe millions of debt. He can not afford it. His whole family went missing over night. We knew later that his whole family went to the US to escape their debts! 😂
Economic migrants are not refugees.
American dream of working only Monday to Friday 😂
Who wouldn't want to smuggle to the US when shopping is free for anything under 900. I'd walk thousands of miles too.
They have no idea what they are getting themselves into lol
Put them on the frontlines in Ukraine. They're so brave right? None of them stay in Mexico or Ecuador. There's freedom outside the USA too.
I am not against immigrants, but not open border.
Maybe he had some debt. China is known to stop such people at the border and not let to leave
This might be the biggest mistake these Chinese made.
People always think of what they call American dream, but they have no idea it's not what they expected: high living cost, hard to get a job, always be a target of discrimination and bullying, high cost of education, more than any other places. Many people gave their testimonies, how they used to be a businessman, have an apartment, saving, but after what they had gone through, they could only live a tiny rent house, work in a restaurant, baby sitter.
This is a slap in the face to anyone going through the legal process of immigration. It's become a joke
this is so frustrating to people who follow the legal route and wait their turn for so many years. it is a shame
I can understand why you people wanted to come but not that what you thought this country not heaven seeing is believing
Chinese people have been emigrating for decades. China has 1.4 billion people after all
It’s illegal immigration not illegal entry.

President Xi said Chinese people who economic undocemented emigrant to USA will never allow to return to China. 😂😂
