Two Chinese nationals allegedly tried to sneak into the United States using the identities of actual American citizens — a passport-swapping scheme that crashed into a wall when facial recognition caught them at a California airport. Jin Fu Wei, 44, of Guangxi Province, China, and Xiaodan Lei, 47, of Henan Province, were detained after flying from Mexico to Orange County’s John Wayne Airport on Aug. 26 and allegedly presenting US passports belonging to other people, federal prosecutors said.
