Six Chinese citizens were apprehended in Texas, north of the Rio Grande, by US Border Patrol Agents on Tuesday, May 26, 2026. They were among a group of twelve illegal aliens caught crossing a private ranch near the Mexican border.
Earlier that day, Border Patrol Agents, some on horseback, assisted by a DPS K9 chased and apprehended a half dozen more illegal aliens in Maverick County.
The day before, DPS Officers arrested a Cuban man attempting to smuggle six more illegal immigrants following a high-speed chase through that same Texas border county.
And, in case you are wondering, US Federal Authorities aren’t just encountering Chinese men trying to illegally enter the US in Texas.
Four days before the Border Patrol apprehended those six Chinese illegal aliens in Maverick County, the US Coast Guard arrested four Chinese men among a group of eight stowaways that also included illegal aliens from the Dominican Republic on a barge entering San Juan Harbor, Puerto Rico.
The U.S. Border Patrol apprehended approximately 3,900 Chinese citizens attempting to illegally enter the US during the last fiscal year. This represents a massive 75%-85% decline from peak volumes in the 2023 and 2024 fiscal years.
In 2024, the Border Patrol’s encounters of Chinese citizens who illegally entered the US reached 38,200 at the U.S.-Mexico border and 12,400 at the U.S.-Canada border.
Are you surprised by the number of Chinese citizens attempting to illegally enter the United States?

Jack, this is alarming. I wonder if some of the Chinese illegals made it through during this time. Jack thank you for your service to us Patriots. You rock!
Instead of saying “military age”, has it ever occurred to you to say “college age“? Or “working age“? Or with that damage the fear-mongering narrative that you want to spread? Newsflash, Chinese young people are coming to North America for the same reason that generations of young people have come: because life in their home country kind of sucks at the moment, and they want a better life.
