"Why are we seeing this influx?" Judd asked on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "At best, they're just coming here for a better life or for a better job. At worse, they're coming here to be part of the Chinese government, and that's what scares me an awful lot."

"We know that the Chinese have huge gangs here in the United States, and they control certain parts of our country," he later said. "They control the drug flow. They control the prostitution. They control everything that's illegal in certain portions of the country. We have to look into that. It's very important that we understand why we are having so many people from China, especially military-aged men, from China.”
