The fastest growing group among illegal immigrants to the United States comes from China. According to CBS News‚ many Chinese migrants found step-by-step instructions for hiring smugglers on TikTok‚ the social media platform that comes from China. Some migrants flew from China to Ecuador‚ which doesn’t require a visa for Chinese nationals‚ before they flew to Tijuana. There‚ they met smugglers and paid them each $400 to drive to a border fence 60 miles east of San Diego where there is a 4-foot gap. “I come from Yugoslavia. And I left Yugoslavia‚ I went to Austria. I stayed there eight month. And I knock on this door. I didn’t bust the door down to come over here‚” Jerry Shuster‚ on whose land the gap exists‚ told CBS News. “I came through the front door.” “It was‚ like‚ four month ago‚ there was eight guys start– knocking my trees and start burning my– my– my trees on the other side. So I told ’em‚ ‘Please‚ don’t do that. Please don’t do—’ and they start surrounding me. I went home‚ and I got my gun‚ and I shoot in the air. They arrest me‚” he recalled. “ … on my property. Yeah‚ just because. I ask ’em not to burn the trees‚ not to knock the fences. And they– they arrested me. They put me in a police car. I’m just protecting my own land.” Asked how many migrants he thought he had seen come through his property‚ Shuster replied‚ “Maybe 3‚000 a week.” The Department of Justice admits that in 2023‚ 55% of Chinese migrants gained asylum as opposed to 14% for every other nationality. More than 24‚000 Chinese citizens were apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border in the past year‚ a number higher than the combined data on apprehensions from the ten previous years‚ according to a New York Times report in November. Texas officials have disseminated figures showing cartels charging individuals from China $35‚000 to $50‚000 a person to be smuggled into the United States. As many as 10.5 million illegal immigrants were living in the United States in 2021‚ according to a report in November by the Pew Research Center‚ which observed the figure to be a “modest” increase over the population in 2019 and “nearly identical” to the number in 2017. Data gleaned from Immigration and Customs Enforcement shows at least 36‚000 Chinese have been ordered by U.S. courts to exit the United States‚ CBS News reported.

Last year‚ Dion’s sister‚ Claudette Dion‚ spoke to Hello! Canada about Celine’s SPS diagnosis.  “She’s doing everything to recover‚” Claudette said. “She’s a strong woman.” “It’s an illness we know so little about‚” she added. “There are spasms – they’re impossible to control. You know [how] people often jump up in the night because of a cramp in the leg or the calf? It’s a bit like that‚ but in all muscles. There’s little we can do to support her‚ to alleviate her pain.”  “We’re crossing our fingers that researchers will find a remedy for this awful illness‚” Claudette continued. “And she knows fans feel the same way‚ too.” In 2022‚ the “All By Myself” singer and mother of three revealed her diagnosis after canceling several of her concerts.

Which is more popular‚ Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance or Super Bowl LVIII? We can’t say for sure‚ but they’re both getting loads of attention these days‚ and many people think that creates the perfect opportunity for an on-field proposal during or after the big game. The power couple’s love has been blossoming with the NFL as a backdrop. Taylor and Travis began dating in July and went public in September‚ just as the current football season was heating up. Despite her busy popstar schedule‚ Taylor has made it to 11 of her beau’s games. And cameras caught them publically professing their love for each other after the AFC Championship game on Jan. 28. YouTube Now that Travis and the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs are headed to the Super Bowl on Feb. 11‚ Swifties and non-Swifties alike believe Travis will get down on one knee on live TV either during halftime or the post-game celebration. “I’m calling it right now‚ KC Chiefs 27 SF 49ers 14 in Super Bowl day. Travis Kelce will propose to Taylor at the 50-yard line‚” someone speculated on X. “Don’t believe me? Come back to this post after the Super Bowl is over.” “Super Bowl predictions!!!” another person wrote. “Kansas City over 49ers Finale score 27 – 14 Travis Kelce will propose to Taylor Swift Mark my words &; place your bets! YouTube Fans Are Placing Bets on a Travis Kelce Proposal And people are placing their bets—sizable ones. According to the Daily Mail‚ Canada’s Sportsbook FanDuel is one of the places handling the Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce gambling. The odds began at +190 for Kelce to propose. “Will Travis Kelce propose to Taylor Swift after the game?” asked KBC Sportsbook LLC on X. “We will personally book any bets on YES.” As of Feb. 2‚ the “yes” option was up to +1060. To win‚ Travis has to pop the question on the field. If he asks in the locker room or while celebrating after the game‚ It doesn’t count. However‚ the “no” option was at -3000‚ which means more people believe Travis Kelce will not ask Taylor Swift to be his wife during the Super Bowl. Despite all the chatter on social media‚ we don’t think he’ll do it either. Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Are ‘Brand New’ While talking on the Pat McAfee Show on Feb. 4‚ Travis gushed over his superstar girlfriend‚ but he pointed out that they only just started dating. YouTube “It’s exciting for me‚” he said. “But it’s all brand new‚ man. From having the paparazzi follow me every single day into work‚ to just everybody having my name on their talk show every single day – whether it’s sports‚ whether it’s not sports‚ you know – it’s just been a crazy‚ crazy ride I could have never anticipated.”  Travis noted that he’s “having fun with it.” But he doesn’t exactly sound like he’s ready for such a major commitment. Also‚ proposing on the field would take all the attention away from the players who just won the biggest matchup of the year. And Taylor Swift has already had plenty of negative press for overshadowing the NFL. But we know there is still a possibility that Travis’ team could support him getting on one knee during that special moment. So‚ we could be wrong. If we are‚ we will try to be the first to congratulate the love birds! Don’t forget to share this story with your fellow Swifties! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
