Obviously, the NY Times is going to come to the wrong conclusion, just give a sob story
Some Chinese Weigh Painful Question: Stay or Flee Under Trump?
Ever since immigration raids swept Los Angeles in June, Han Lihua, 46, has spent much of his time hiding in his apartment, skipping his Amazon delivery shifts and scrolling on social media to look for nearby sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
In 2022, he fled China, where he ran an independent student newspaper and taught high school literature. He crossed the treacherous Darién Gap on the border of Colombia and Panama before crossing the southern border of the United States illegally in early 2023.
Now, with the Trump administration carrying out a sweeping immigration crackdown, he is among the Chinese immigrants who say fear has eclipsed their fragile new lives, forcing difficult questions about whether the United States can offer them a better situation after they fled an authoritarian government.
“Everyone is so afraid,” Mr. Han said. “I didn’t expect this would happen in the United States.”
Boo hoo. You’re here in contradiction of federal law. If you’re so scared and hiding how’d the NY Times get your story?
Since China reopened its borders in January 2023 after Covid lockdowns, more than 63,000 Chinese citizens like Mr. Han have fled and crossed the U.S. southern border without authorization, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, making them the fourth-largest group by nationality after migrants from Venezuela, Haiti, and Ecuador. Under President Trump’s policies, however, illegal crossings along the southern border have dropped dramatically, reaching 6,000 arrests in June, a low not seen in decades.
Does anyone else find it concerning that Chinese nationals are spending oodles of money to come into the U.S. illegally? Perhaps creating some anchor babies so China can have more of its citizens in the US, perhaps using them as spies or worse? Has it occurred to the Fish Wrap that China is planting their citizens in the U.S.?
Most Chinese immigrants fled strict censorship, growing political repression or Beijing’s zero-Covid policies, which often shut down entire cities for weeks, if not months, trapping people in their homes with little access to food, medical care or work. Those who spoke out against the policies could face harassment or detention. But with the Trump administration’s escalating immigration enforcement, many Chinese immigrants like Mr. Han now confront a question they never imagined they would face: Should they stay or leave?
And they were just able to, you know, leave Communist China easy peasy? Also, there’s zero introspection on COVID lockdowns which were pretty much a Democrat thing and supported by the NY Times.
Recently, discussions on Chinese social media have centered around questions including “Should I go back?” or “Who has been back?” Users who have left the country often debate the pros and cons of their decisions. They once discussed “runology” — figuring out how to leave China during the lockdowns. Now, they discuss “reverse runology,” or mapping a way back to China.
If they are so concerned they could head to other countries, right?
Meanwhile
ICE recruits former federal workers to join its ranks amid hiring spree
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is recruiting retired federal workers to join its enforcement, legal and investigative units as a part of a broader campaign to beef up hiring.
The requests came in an email, which was shared with NPR and posted on LinkedIn and elsewhere online, and asked them to “serve once more.”
“This is a pivotal moment in our country’s history, and your experience and expertise are vitally needed,” the email states, which includes a message on a new webpage.
I guess they don’t have to learn to code or go work on a farm.
All of the Chinese in the USA should flee back to China. The internet says China has a shortage of people now since COVID killed them all. So China needs them to repatriate.
Pitiful Mr Teach now must live with the constant fear of Chinese (probably those fear inducing “military aged men”)living all around him. Already Raleigh has been flooded with them taking high paying jobs in the research triangle from oppressed white college grads. H Marts (Asian grocery stores) have doubled in the last couple of years
In the last 20 years Raleigh’s Asian population has increased by 400% !!!!
And 20% of Asian men marry white women. No wonder incels hate them
One of the greatest fears the USA military is not talking about in regards to the Chinese is their incessant war drum pounding to invade Taiwan.
I surmise that the left will cheer when the Taiwan straits are breached and scream that (whatever president) is evil for confronting them.
With the unfettered purchase of American companies and farmlands. Especially land next to major military bases is the most egregious thing that a government can allow happen to itself by a foe that has preached WAR WITH THE UNITED STATES for the last Decade.
Letting our colleges install programs that spread Chinese propaganda as we watch a major political party turn COMMUNIST before our very eyes.
So now we are facing a scenario in which tens of thousands of Chinese…….AS JOHN…aka…..DOWD so eloquently puts it (probably those fear inducing “military aged men”) will rise up, prior to China attacking Taiwan while Russia attacks Nato….and attack the US internally.
You know. Like when Israel had infiltrated Iran with Mossad agents in small but effective numbers to attack targets and spread fear and panic among the local population. Only this time there are……….5.3 million(potential military) as recorded by the Census bureau, which does not include an estimated 100,000 plus who are here illegally for some reason.
What is being done underground on farms next to a dozen military bases of high strategic value?
This is the fear. Russia attacks NATO, China Attacks Taiwan and with the USA infiltrated by millions of Chinese who have bought farms and busineses next to military bases and feed the US population, they attack, most likely with 1000’s of drones built in underground bunkers and voilla you have a country overwhelmed to the point of being incapable of a truly effective defense of NATO and Taiwan.
War never changes? Yeah it does. Ukraine proved that. Israel proved that with 100’s of Mossad agents using drones inside of IRAN. Swarms of drones now fill the sky that cost 1000’s of dollars rather than 60 million dollar missiles.
China should be forced to divest themselves of every piece of real estate and business they have purchased in the USA and those here legally or illegally should be priority ONE…..rather than Illegal moms with Kids from El Salvador or Columbia.
Time to get it Right Homeland Security. China is the worlds most diabolical threat….not moms from El Salvador.
I sympathize, but let’s tell the truth here: if China invades Taiwan, there is not one f(ornicating) thing we can do about it! China is roughly 100 miles from Taiwan, while the US mainland is 6,000 miles away. China’s military is larger than ours, and not only could we not send enough soldiers to defend Taiwan, we could get only a small number to Taiwan in any reasonable time at all. Our nuclear deterrent is useless, because China now has its own strategic nuclear arsenal; we can’t use it without millions of Americans being killed in retaliation.
Russia will not attack NATO. 3¼ years of mostly stalemated war has proven that Russia isn’t the military juggernaut we feared throughout the Cold War.
In other words, yet another illegal immigrant who sneaked in during the dummkopf from Delaware’s four miserable years.
Illegal immigration was President Trump’s signature issue, and during his first term, the number of illegals sneaking across our southern border was greatly reduced. Had the nincompoop from New Castle County continued Mr Trump’s policies only on immigration, and went ahead with his liberal policies on everything else, even our good friends on the left would have to wonder: would Mr Trump have won the 2024 election with his signature issue having been mostly taken away?
So, either Mr Han produced forged documents to work for Amazon, or Amazon hired him without the proper documents and he accepted that, or Amazon somehow helped him find someone who would forge documents for him. All of those things are felonies!
The New York Times has just told us that they have all of the information on Mr Han, and ICE should go to a federal judge for a warrant to raid the Times newsroom, seize all of the computer records and reporter Alicia Chen’s handwritten notes, tablet, cell phone and whatever other devices she used in pursuing this story to obtain all of the information on the illegal immigrant’s whereabouts, as well as take Miss Chen into custody to question her on what else she knows; if she refuses to comply, lock her up on contempt of court charges.
The Times is now complicit in hiding and protecting a criminal alien, and Amazon might be complicit as well. ICE should not give corporations a break on this.
Mr D agrees with Mr T that our First Amendment is unnecessary, even dangerous, to their regime! Like the Nazi collaborators (cowards) who turned in the Franks, Mr D would call ICE (Stasi) on these suspects. And would imprison the New York Times and Amazon to shut them up from criticizing Dear Leader!
This is Amerika!!
Back to everyone is a NAZI if they don’t with Rimjob.
Bwaha! Lolgfy Loser!
MAGA47 Motherfucker!
Perhaps the distinguished Mr Dowd can tell us where the First Amendment specifies that the media can conceal evidence of criminality.
The media may certainly publish anything they wish, but in indicating that they have evidence of criminal activity, there is nothing of which I am aware which allows them to keep it concealed or worse, destroy it.
Do you disagree that the three possibilities I posted are felonies?
Freedom of the Press means that the media can choose not to publish the more specific evidence they have against Mr Han, but that does not mean that the federal government cannot compel the production of it.
[…] William Teach notes The New York Times doing the same thing, in “The Fish Wrap Is Very Concerned Over All The Illegal Alien Chinese In The U.S.“ […]
Sadly, very few of the Chinese immigrants in the USA are “fleeing communism”. Most of them bring their loyalty to the CCP with them and are still subject to Chinese sovereignty in every sense of the word. The Chinese government closely monitors their citizens in the USA.
How is it thousands of sick elderly recent immigrants from China are here and filling up medical facilities while Medicaid pays for everything, and here I am, 71, born here, paid taxes all my life, and I can’t afford to get my teeth fixed?

When a young fella, I logged a summer/fall/winter out of Pierce, Idaho, and long before this they also had a Chinese problem, and the above link is how they handled it, but I may add when I logged out of there, and lived there in the early 1970’s there was not a Chinaman to be seen.
Hmmm…
