House Majority Leader Steve Scalise raised concerns on Tuesday regarding a surge of Chinese migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.
While appearing on Fox News’ Fox & Friends, Scalise spoke with the show’s co-host Lawrence Jones about a report from 60 Minutes that detailed Chinese migrants using TikTok to learn ways to illegally cross the border.
“Over 30,000 Chinese nationals came across and they’re using TikTok, which is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party,” Scalise said. “So if anybody wonders where this is coming from, all the countries, we’ve documented well over 150 countries where people come across our border.”
“This isn’t just South and Central America, it’s Middle Eastern countries, it’s China, it’s other Asian nations, all coming into America untethered, without any vetting at all,” Scalise added.
