Data from the Department of Homeland Security shows that 328 immigrants from China were caught trying to he border illegally so far this year.
Three other people from South Korea were arrested at the border, The Washington Times reported.
The report comes as the coronavirus continues to spread across China, where there are more than 80,000 confirmed cases and 2,902 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins.
"All told, more than 1,000 migrants a day are caught attempting to sneak in illegally from Mexico, which detected its first case last week, and since has identified five others," The Times wrote.
"The journey to the U.S. border puts migrants in poor conditions," a Homeland Security official told The Washington Times.
President Trump has suggested that he might move to close the southern border, but so far has made no attempt to do so.
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad F. Wolf raised the issue Tuesday with the House Homeland Security Committee, saying that illegal immigration presents a unique threat compared to legal travelers from China, who are being screened on arrival.
