    Meanwhile, CNA correspondent Wei Du arrives in Ecuador, where the Chinese migrants start their long trek to America. She speaks to a group about why they chose to leave China, and travels with them from Ecuador to Colombia to get a first-hand experience of the migrant trail.

    You know why there are some chinese people struggling so hard to made their way to the US? Because there are so many chinese people doing immigration agencies in the US. They are using the social medias to propaganda how easy to get a job in the US and how well paid salary of the job in US. But honestly, In fact, the majority of undocumented immigrants in the United States face significant challenges in terms of living standards, economic opportunities, and access to social services due to their lack of legal status.

      This is true. A lot of places in the US hire migrants…but then pay the migrants below minimum wage. On paper, the migrants aren’t technically employees, so the employers can pay them pennies and don’t have to report anything for tax and legal purposes. This is very common in the construction industry. For many employers, migrants are a source of nearly-free labor, and it’s a part of the immigration crisis that nobody seems to be talking about-how the people who hire these migrants are complicit in the influx across the border. If there weren’t so many work opportunities, then nobody would come here.

      The family seems happy and came fr large city but honestly most Chinese don't have the necessary wilderness survival skills. It's quite sad that this kind of family had to illegally immigrate. I don't know what they met with in China and indeed common Chinese have a worse and worse life during this years. Just hope this family could get through of the jungle safely.

    I am now in Thailand, have worked as a Chinese translator, and see hundreds of Chinese travelling around here every day. I don't see any Venezuelans, Hondurans, Columbians, and I have never even seen a Haitian. In Japan, where I live, they are all over the Ginza buying expensive brand products. The crime in China is nowhere near what it is in some countries in South America, and the people I met while travelling around there seem to be doing quite well for the most part. It is very hard to believe that any Chinese would travel through the jungles of South America to come to America. Is this video for real?

The difference is, people were more patience and understand the situation back then. They worked and studied hard to get a better life there. And they (or the 2ne generations) achieved that. Those HK people flew to UK after 2019 are just a bunch of naive people only have pride and don't want to "downgrade" themselves. It is so ironic that they have internet and can collect as much as info they can, they still being naive and think moving to UK without a long term plan can actually work out.

This is exactly what we did during and after WWII with German defectors and it's the main reason we have jets, rockets, and NASA. Plus, if there is indeed spies, it's better to log and watch them rather than just let them sneak in unnoticed, although most spies come in through legal means. Even the 9/11 terrorists were here legally.

    In China, if rich people and the middle class want to emigrate, they can often go to various countries through normal immigration channels. However, the Chinese at the bottom can hardly get immigrant visas, or even tourist visas for developed countries, so they choose to smuggle. Before smuggling, they overdraw all online loans and credit cards, and then they can't go back, so I have always told people around me not to choose to this road easily unless they really can't stay.

The houses and cars of those who cannot repay the debt will be auctioned off by the court, and they cannot take high-speed trains or airplanes domestically, which leaves them with no choice but to come to the United States.

    A hell amount of small businesses went bankrupt during the COVID lockdown placed by CCP, and the economy was literally butchered. After that many ppl who used not be interested in politics want out. Usually upper class & middle class follow the immigration laws and do things legally cause it’s affordable and viable for them, the former as investors, the latter mostly as students or skilled workers; as for the lower class who can barely make ends meet, they either borrow illegal loans at a crazy rate or save up money by working like a slave and hardly spending a single extra penny for 2-3 years to muster funds for this dangerous and controversial journey. It’s quite a dreadful sight to behold when its population is bursting out like an exploding volcano.
