The flight comes as Chinese immigration has become the subject of intense political debate in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
The Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday that it sent 116 Chinese migrants from the United States back home in the first “large charter flight” in five years. The flight, which happened over the weekend, comes as Chinese immigration has become the subject of intense political debate in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
Earlier this year, the U.S. and China resumed cooperation on migration issues. The Chinese government has said it is firmly opposed to “all forms of illegal immigration.” In a statement in May, China's Embassy in the U.S. said the country's law enforcement was cracking down “hard on crimes that harm the tranquility of national border, and maintained a high pressure against all kinds of smuggling organizations and offenders.
