How Chinese Illegals Get to the United States

This investigation explains the reasons, routes, and dangers Chinese illegal immigrants face on their way to the United States. The Impunity Observer reached out to three human smugglers in the Darién Gap, but they refused to specifically address the case of Chinese migrants on the Colombia–Panamá border. One of them told the Impunity Observer researcher: “Do not ask any more questions. Nobody will answer you because this is a sensitive topic.” Smugglers in this area often work for the Gulf Clan cartel.

Further, the Impunity Observer conducted a Google Trends analysis of Mandarin Chinese words to illustrate the rising interest in and popularity of illegal migration.
