The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Chinese Nationals Arrested at the Border

FY 2021…. 342
FY 2022… 1,987
FY 2023… 24,125
FY 2024… 36,912 (So Far)

Mayorkas (Yesterday): “…for the first time I have engagement with my counterpart from the Peoples Republic of China to ensure that China would begin to accept removal flights and we actually did effect one flight recently, the first time in a number of years.”

If you have seen videos of these groups of Chinese, you should note they never are captured having just crossed the river. They are mostly young men 20 to 40. There are some women, but I haven’t noticed any families but there must have been a few.

The Chinese immigrants must purchase the gold package from the cartels because they use land routes and are driven to within a short walk to the border. They arrive looking clean and hydrated, nice new looking clothing and shoes, and well fed.

Getting back to numbers, how many Chinese will fit in one plane, even a C-130, let’s say it is 500. The number arrested is in excess of 60,000. The remaining 55,000 must have satisfied Border Patrols vigorous and reliable vetting process and were released into the country.

I wonder what those 55,000 mostly young Chinese men are up to. They appear to have been among the affluent back in China, and are not here to pick vegetables. Maybe we can ask them when they show up for their court date.
