More Illegal Foreigners Netted This Year

More illegal foreign residents have been captured this year, data from the Justice Ministry showed yesterday. The increase in the number of captured illegal aliens was partially attributable to the Lee Myung-bak administration's toughened measures, a ministry official said.
The increase comes amid Lee's repeated calls to establish law and order, which he said is a key principle in managing state affairs....
"We felt quite restricted in leading our efforts to capture illegal aliens following the fire last year at a foreigner protection center," the official said, referring to the arson fire last February at the immigration office in Yeosu, South Jeolla Province, which left 10 foreigners dead from the inhalation of toxic gases.
"In 2006, our work was not that active due to assertive human rights activists. This year, however, we have smoothly led the efforts, which may have helped capture more illegal residents.".... |

| One of my students is a guard at one of the Immigration detention centers. He doesn't come across many native English speakers though; most of his prisoners are from eastern Europe. He's a really nice guy in class, but I'm guessing at work his disposition is very different. |
