Overview

  • Biden administration has reduced the vetting process for illegal immigrants from China from 40 questions to just five, according to internal emails from the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
  • The simplified process has fast-tracked the release of Chinese illegal immigrants into the interior of the United States and made it more difficult for CBP agents to identify national security threats.
  • Smugglers have quickly adapted to the new guidelines and coached Chinese illegal immigrants on how to answer the new questions from the CBP.
  • Retired CBP deputy, JJ Carrell, criticized the policy change, stating it has accelerated the time it takes to process Chinese illegal immigrants and does not make America safer.
  • Over 300,000 illegal immigrant encounters with border patrol were reported in December.
