Dr. Phil McGraw claimed this week that Chinese immigrants crossing the US border are actually spies.
Dr. Phil's sound is off
Dr. Phil appeared on Fox News on Tuesday to chat with host Sean Hannity about his recent trip to the U.S.-Mexico border, which has seen a large influx of Chinese immigrants.
“We would be incredibly narcissistic to assume that these people come here just because they are in the neighborhood,” Dr. Phil said.
“What are they doing? I promise you, if they’re working in agriculture, if they’re working in industry, they’re expected to do certain things,” he continued. “Are they watching? Are they sending seeds to China for agriculture? Are they receiving plans from the industry they are working in?”
The Daily Mail reported that in the past, most migrants crossing the border were from Central and South America, but now thousands are coming from China. During fiscal year 2023, which ended in September, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported that 24,048 Chinese nationals were apprehended at the Mexican border, more than in the previous decade combined.

Dr. Phil doubles down
In the same interview, Dr. Phil said border officials told him that 13 to 14 million people have entered the country since President Joe Biden took office, more than twice as many as his administration had claimed.
“We heard these numbers. Under this government, six million people have been met,” Dr. Phil said. “I have spoken to experts who say that number is a myth and that the number found is closer to 13 to 14 million.”
“I asked you directly, what do you need here?” He added: “I was shocked to hear them say, ‘We don’t need any more money.’ We don't need more resources, we don't need more police officers, we don't need more legislation. We just have to follow the laws in the book. We need permission to do our work. And we can get this problem under control right now.’”

Dr. Phil previously described the border situation as a 'humanitarian crisis' in a video posted on social media.
“Texas law enforcement seized more than 454 million lethal doses of fentanyl during this mission. Governor Abbott said the federal government has broken the agreement between the U.S. federal government and the states,” said Dr. Phil. “Governor Abbott said President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them.”
“The result is a humanitarian crisis unlike anything we have ever seen before. “By wasting taxpayer dollars to keep Texas’ border security infrastructure open, we have broken our record on illegal immigration,” he continued. “Governor Abbott said President Biden has lured tens of thousands of illegal immigrants from 28 legal entry points along the Texas border into the dangerous and deadly waters of the Rio Grande.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, the number of illegal immigrants has exceeded 6 million since President Biden took office. [the] In just three years, the southern Texas border will be completed,” Dr. Phil added. “That’s more than the population of 33 states in this country. What about Vice President Kamala Harris? Did you know that she is the emigration emperor of our country? Guess how many times she's been to her border? once.”
