- Summary
- Four years after the smuggling ship Golden Venture, carrying nearly 300 Chinese migrants, ran aground off Queens, New York. Chinese migrant trafficking into the United States persists. This illegal immigration is organized by highly effective alien smuggling organizations using routes involving more than 30 countries and earning hundreds of millions of dollars. The authors of this volume examine the roots and logistics of this growth industry as well as the "push" and "pull" factors - such as unemployment and population pressures - that are fueling the Chinese exodus to the land known as the "Beautiful Country."
