The number of Chinese migrants trying to cross the US southern border illegally has fallen to its lowest monthly count this year, three months after US President Joe Biden imposed significant restrictions on the processing of asylum claims.
According to the US Customs and Border Protection, authorities detained or found inadmissible 1,326 Chinese migrants along the border in September, a 40 per cent decline from the 2,198 recorded in June. The number of Chinese migrants attempting to enter the US without proper documentation had reached a three-year peak of 5,980 in December.
