President Biden is considering taking executive action to address the ongoing border crisis, a move that contradicts his previous statement less than a month ago when he claimed he lacked the authority to do so without Congress. The timing of this potential action, just before the State of the Union address, has sparked criticism from both the left and the right. Some argue that the president could have taken this step much earlier.
An interesting revelation from ICE's fiscal year 2023 report shows that only 288 Chinese nationals have been deported from the United States since October, despite over 24,000 of them crossing the border. This discrepancy raises concerns about the handling of Chinese nationals entering the country, with estimates suggesting that the actual number of those allowed in, caught, and released could be over 40,000 in the last three years.
There are growing fears about the implications of this influx of Chinese nationals, particularly in relation to fentanyl trafficking and potential involvement in human trafficking. It is believed that these individuals play a significant role in bringing fentanyl precursors from China to the United States, contributing to the ongoing fentanyl crisis. Additionally, concerns are mounting about the Chinese involvement in managing the financial aspects of the fentanyl trade, indicating a complex network of operations.
The situation is seen as a critical issue that requires immediate attention and action to prevent further escalation of the crisis. As the debate continues, the focus remains on addressing the challenges posed by the influx of Chinese nationals and their potential impact on various illicit activities within the country.
