Five Chinese nationals were recently placed under US Border Patrol custody after they illegally crossed into the United States through Mexico.
Fox News Correspondent Bill Melugin broke the news on Twitter and stated five Chinese nationals crossed illegally into Mission, Texas where they would later turn themselves into Border Patrol authorities.
Melugin would write Border Patrol agents in recent months have seen an “uptick” of Chinese nationals crossing into the US through Mexico.
A week earlier, the Texas Department of Public Safety apprehended three Chinese nationals after they illegally cross into the United States through the southern border.
The three Chinese nationals reportedly paid human smugglers $35,000 each to help guide them into Mission, Texas.
This isn’t the first time Chinese nationals have been caught crossing into the Southern Border.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported the US Border Patrol apprehended over 1,657 Chinese nationals back in 2020.
