  2. trump will use nato and troops from asia to arrest and forcefully deport every single illegal , visa over stay , and cancel all student visas… You chinese are in deep trouble when trump forces your return…. we do not want you, we do not want any immigrants …

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 ❤️

  6. Ambitious & can't blame them, but Ironically…These maybe the same people who will probably vote for "Progressive" Socialists like Biden-Obama & Co. bringing us closer & closer to their home countries communist state.

  7.
