Reuters: Chinese migrants coming to the U.S. from Mexico

Lihua Wu's journey to the United States started when she scrolled past the words “The Route,” one of several common hashtags on Douyin, the Chinese counterpart of TikTok, advising migrants on the irregular overland trek across Latin America to the United States, also known online as “the Big Beautiful.”
By the time the single mother and her five-year-old daughter were apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol on a dirt road near the U.S.-Mexico border just before midnight on April 2, Wu said she had relied on social media for detailed instructions for her trip, including footwear (Crocs as well as hiking boots) and how to find and pay for a reliable local guide.
The difficulty of obtaining U.S. visas and the economic after-shocks of China’s COVID lockdowns have led to a sharp increase in Chinese nationals presenting at the U.S.-Mexico border – and some of those arrivals, like Wu, learned about how to come online, migrants, immigration experts, attorneys, and current and former U.S. officials, told Reuters.
Over the course of three weeks photographing and reporting from a remote border stretch in southeastern Texas, Reuters witnessed hundreds of Chinese migrants crossing into the United States and interviewed more than two dozen in Mandarin.
All of those interviewed said they got the idea to take the land route to the United States on social media and drew on influencers, private groups and comments to plan their trips.
About half said they had been small business owners in China: running online stores, a sheep farm, a movie production company.
Some wore crosses and carried Chinese-language bibles, saying they were Christians who felt they could not freely practice their religion at home. China's constitution guarantees religious freedom, but in recent years critics including the U.S. government say Beijing has tightened restrictions on religions seen as a challenge to the authority of the ruling Communist party.

Every picture and video posted of them its glaringly obvious they're 20+ healthy mostly men coming too.
What could possibly go wrong?

This thread along with the other one on the board regarding the Chinese.
Interesting. Is it a nation's belated sign of maturity when it finally understands how it's being taken over.
Or is it lamenting the twilight stage of its journey - acknowledging that it hasn't been nearly vigilant enough for too long, allowing the horse to absolutely fly out the gate.
This developing awareness of the Chinese.
When for decades they've been conveniently getting pregnant and just happening to "be on vacation" in the U.S. around the time of expected birth - instant citizenship.
Now they, along with so many others, have another portal to exploit - the border
Their presence now in Africa and South America.
They've got the numbers now to increase their diaspora throughout the world. It's almost a necessity for them to survive on their own mainland.
Curious how communist ideals never really die and tend to repeat.
Lenin and Trotsky pushed the concept of "the permanent revolution" which meant that for Leninist-Marxism to survive in its own country of "birth" they believed it would by necessity have to be spread worldwide.
In the East, the world vision is long term, while in the West it's for the most part gratification now.
How much more evidence is needed that we are being "waited out" and we're contributing to our own demise by trying to appear "fair."
