Biden Administration Simplifies Vetting Process for Chinese Illegal Immigrants, Raises Security Concerns

The reduction of interview questions from 40 to just five has expedited the release of Chinese illegal immigrants into the U.S., making it harder for CBP agents to identify potential threats.

Biden administration has reduced the vetting process for illegal immigrants from China from 40 questions to just five, according to internal emails from the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
The simplified process has fast-tracked the release of Chinese illegal immigrants into the interior of the United States and made it more difficult for CBP agents to identify national security threats.
Smugglers have quickly adapted to the new guidelines and coached Chinese illegal immigrants on how to answer the new questions from the CBP.
Retired CBP deputy, JJ Carrell, criticized the policy change, stating it has accelerated the time it takes to process Chinese illegal immigrants and does not make America safer.
Over 300,000 illegal immigrant encounters with border patrol were reported in December.
