Thousands of Red Chinese sneak into C. S. each year, report says
WASHINGTON (A>)—As many
as 4,200 aliens from Communist
China sneak into the United
States every year, according to
secret Justice Department intel
ligence reports which say some
A&M grads
are decorated

of the aliens are on espionage
missions, and others are involved
in narcotics traffic.
Only one in 10 of these illegal
aliens is caught and deported, the
reports say. Among those identi
fied by the government, many
have been tracd to the Hong
Kong Seamans Union, an organi
zation said by the FBI to be en
gaged in espionage. Other Chinese
aliens taken into custody have
been carrying narcotics shipments
destined for U.S. contacts.
According to a source in the
Immigration and Naturalization
Service, the Justice Department
section responsible for capturing
illegal aliens, the mainland Chi
nese have been coming for about
five years, entering this country
by jumping ship in U.S. ports or
by way of smuggling operations
in the United States and Canada.
Just last week, according to the
confidential reports, INS smash
ed a ring engaged in smuggling
Chinese sailors from Vancouver,
British Columbia, into the United
States at Bellingham and Blaine,
Wash., at $1,000 a head.
The operation wah broken up
after the U. S. Border Patrol
caught one group of the aliens
as they crossed the border on foot
a mile east of Blaine. A second
group made it to the New York
metropolitan area. Three of them
were arrested last Wednesday in
Newark, N. J., and told authori
ties they made their first contact
with the smugglers in Hong Kong.
According to INS sources, as
many as 2,500 mainland Chinese
are smuggled into the United
States each year. Another 1,700
jump foreign-flag vessels in U.S.
ports. The intelligence reports
said 5,640 entered that way be
tween 1965 and 1970.
Chinese seamen among the
flood of illegal aliens have been
traced by the FBI to the Hong
Kong Seamans Union.
An FBI intelligence report de
scribed the union this way:
“HKSU has voiced vehement
opposition to United States mili
tary action in Vietnam and dis
suades seamen from serving
aboard ships carrying materials
to Vietnam. Conversely, the HK
SU encourages seamen to sail on
ships bound for North Vietnam.
HKSU has approved a policy of
placing Communist seamen on
Western ships for the purpose of
sabotage or capture in the event
of future hostilities.
“Chinese seamen recruited in
Hong Kong serve on ships call™
at major world ports, thus p*
viding an opportunity for c J.
service and intelligence
tion.”
The FBI report said that Qt
nese shipjumpers in the Unitfj
States had arrived in vessels fl,
ing Liberian, Norwegian, Brifel
Panamanian, Dutch, i srat
Swedish and Danish flags.

the country charge from $1001,
$1,000 per person, authorities
