Chinese migrants using Mexican IDs to travel to US

Chinese migrants are using Mexican IDs to ease their passage to the US amid a huge increase in arrivals from the communist country.

The puzzling trend was revealed in new footage from the San Diego border, where the number of nationals entering from so far this year is already more than double its total for the whole of last year.

It is thought the IDs are being made and sold by cartels so that migrants travelling to the US from and elsewhere can pass checks by Mexican police as they travel through the country.
