In 1993 a confidential Canadian report from Hong Kong warned that an unprecedented flood of illegal immigration from Mainland China was threatening North America because China’s government was collaborating with drug-smuggling Triads and corrupt Latin American officials in the multi-billion-dollar business of trafficking human cargo into the United States.
A covering memo explained the Consular report was contentious and “highly sensitive” but also included powerful evidence, as U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) had informed Canada a Chinese Communist leader, the Governor of Fujian, had ties with Hong Kong’s largest Triad.
Details of the lengthy study, Passports of Convenience, Corrupt Officials and Triad Involvement in Illegal Immigration, have never been reported.
