It would be nice if the Chinese would stand up and risk it all to make a Chinese dream come true.

@ezequielpedroza3865

Little do these Chinese migrants know that the U.S. will become technocracy and surveillance state within 12-24 months.

@michaeltoma9329

Are people in the comments really going to debate about how living in China is not strictly under CCP authoritarian control? There are far less freedoms…

Have JAPAN OR SO KOREA ACCEPT THEM most racist xenophobic nations in the free world ….hah the former builds robots !!!

@humingubt

These are illegal criminals in both China and USA.

Smart and educated people finally found freedom and safety in the US where Christian worked hard to make this world better through laws, inventions and discoveries.

The wall makes the US looks like a hellish jail.

@bentmch1

Chines will soon be coming to Nicaragua they are more and more they own bussiness in the markets of Managua and Nicaragua is also a bridge many migrants are using to cross faster to USA. Haitian and Cuban are doing so since 2021.

@julyseven808

May be these Chinese dont know that US National debt is $35 trillions and most Americans live paycheck to paycheck. I hope they bring enough money to survive the dream.

@uopx-fezan

@hihihi5367

I did not think today would be a day I cried. Thank you thank you for humanizing these people. With all the talk about what’s going on in the border I’m so so glad I found this to remind me of the most important component: they’re human seeking a better life. Thank you ❤️
