60 Minutes, Chinese Migrants, San Diego Border Gap
A 60 Minutes report highlighted a significant influx of middle-class Chinese migrants entering the U.S. through a gap in the border fence near San Diego. These individuals often fly to Ecuador or Mexico before paying smugglers, known as "snakeheads," to drive them to the border. Border Patrol agents reportedly lack the authority to stop people at these gaps and can only process them once they have entered U.S. soil.
