Republican -led House Homeland Security Committee raised concerns that border policies are too relaxed.

The number of Chinese migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border has soared over the past two years .

Republicans say the trend is driven by "mass catch-and-release" policies.

Immigration policy is a key issue in the 2016 presidential election.

Many are claiming asylum, citing fear of Chinese President Xi Jinping , as well as the economic uncertainties referred to by Zhou .

About 70 percent of Chinese asylum cases are approved, but many thousands are waiting in a backlog, along with those from all around the world.

The Chinese people are paying the price of these draconian policies, Amnesty International USA said.
