[Yes, They Were]( [No, They Were Not]( [Do You Support Pardoning Trump?]( Biden Admin Eased Vetting for Chinese Immigrants In April 2023, the Biden administration significantly altered the vetting process for Chinese illegal immigrants, as revealed by a leaked U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) email. The new directive reduced the number of interview questions from about 40 to just five, coinciding with an increase in illegal border crossings. This change was criticized by retired CBP deputy patrol agent J.J. Carrell for potentially compromising national security and facilitating human smuggling, as immigrants could be coached to navigate the fewer questions.   The revised process allows Chinese illegal immigrants who pass the basic questions to be released into the U.S. with a court date set for the future, adding to a backlog of over three million U.S. immigration court cases. There was a significant rise in encounters with Chinese illegal immigrants, with a 1,000% increase between 2022 and 2023. The new vetting includes five key questions aimed at identifying potential ties to terrorism or the Chinese government.   However, the Department of Homeland Security's Special Interest Alien list does not include Chinese immigrants, raising questions about the effectiveness of this vetting. Carrell contrasted this approach with the more rigorous process under the Trump administration, where Chinese immigrants were thoroughly screened and usually processed for deportation. The current policy, he noted, often results in Chinese nationals being released into the U.S. after a basic interview and database entry. [signature] [Unsubscribe](
