Illegal immigrants from China are uneasy after President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to prioritize their deportation, NBC News reported. Trump is concerned about the number of military-aged men that have crossed the border from all nations, including the communist adversary.
The leftist news outlet's report ridicules Trump and sides with the "undocumented immigrants" from China. NBC News focuses on 46-year-old Kevin Yang and his disillusionment brought on by Trump's commitment to national security.
"The gratitude I once felt toward the U.S. for accepting me into the country … has now shifted to anxiety and fear. And I know others in my situation feel the same," Yang told the news outlet.
"We’re not military spies. Do you see anyone buying heavy weaponry or weapons here? The fact that Trump says this is completely crazy," Yang claimed. Of course, one man's denial does not mean that the threat isn't real.
It's a logical strategy for Trump to worry about illegal immigration from China. The communist nation has been saber-rattling for years against Taiwan and has recently begun constructing "D-Day style" barges, Fox News reported.
Stunningly, indications stateside reveal that Chinese companies have already waged attacks on intellectual property. According to the Department of Justice, the Chinese telecommunications company Hytera Communications Corp. Ltd. pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal charges relating to the theft of trade secrets from Motorola.
Charges stem from a 2008 scheme to steal coding and digital mobile radio technology from the Illinois-based company. Individuals from Hytera "knew and/or reasonably believed that some of the information they agreed to steal was reasonably protected and kept secret by Motorola, and that taking at least one trade secret would potentially injure Motorola," the plea deal said.
Hytera will be sentenced in a federal court in Chicago on Nov. 6, 2025, for the crimes. The plea agreement could cost the company as much as $60 million in fines and penalties.
This was just one of several cases the House Committee on Foreign Affairs called "Egregious Cases of Chinese Theft of American Intellectual Property" in a report. In one case, the committee concluded, "The Chinese government fosters an environment that condones theft of foreign technology in strategically important sectors."
Despite these facts, NBC News attempted to make it seem like Trump's rhetoric was grounded in xenophobia. It quoted Trump explicitly warning about the imprudence of importing thousands of people from China during a campaign rally in April.
“They’re coming in from China — 31, 32,000 over the last few months — and they’re all military age and they mostly are men. And it sounds like to me, are they trying to build a little army in our country? Is that what they’re trying to do?" Trump said in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.
"This is country changing, this is country threatening, and its country wrecking," Trump warned. Leftists would prefer to ignore this problem and blame Trump for being divisive or racist rather than working to prevent it from wreaking havoc on the nation.
Border security aims to keep people who might want to harm the nation out. While it's impossible to predict with certainty who will be a good citizen, it makes perfect sense to focus on keeping out those unvetted migrants from adversarial nations.
