这篇报道详细描述了一些人通过南部边境途径从中国到纽约的情况，引人深思。这种非传统的移民路径揭示了全球移民问题的复杂性。报道对于背后的社会、政治和经济动因的剖析力度不够深入，更深层次的原因和解决方案值得关注。移民是全球性议题，需跨国合作，加强边境管控，同时解决根本问题，为人们提供更多发展机会。此文虽突破传统报道范式，却应更关注移民背后的深层次问题，以促进理解与共赢。
When busloads of migrants from Venezuela and Latin America started turning up on New York City streets in 2022, it spurred a crisis that has overwhelmed city shelters and incited protests over immigration policies.
And while Mayor Eric Adams and city leaders have sought to slow the pace of new arrivals, there has been another, smaller but also growing group of migrants coming into the city — largely unnoticed.
Thousands of Chinese migrants have also made their way to New York, with many following on the heels of migrants from Central and South America and crossing at the United States-Mexico border. Once they reach the city, however, many are tapping into long-established family and social networks in Chinese enclaves to get on their feet quickly and, for the most part, on their own.
It is not known exactly how many Chinese migrants have landed in New York. But immigration court filings since October 2022 show that New York State was their top destination — with more than 21,000 filings for Chinese migrants — followed by California, according to an analysis by Julia Gelatt, an associate director at the Migration Policy Institute.
The influx of Chinese migrants into the city has been the largest in more than a decade, and marks a return to the sizable immigration of Chinese people beginning in the 1980s that revived struggling neighborhoods like Chinatown, and cemented newer ethnic strongholds in Flushing, Queens, and Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
