Illegal immigrants from Indonesia

Illegal immigrants from Indonesia

More and more illegal immigrants from Indonesia have been
encroaching on our shores, clearly a challenge to our
sovereignty.

The situation could escalate if the political climate in
Indonesia worsens. As we know, tens of thousands of people have
taken to the streets to demonstrate, and surround the
Presidential Palace in Jakarta.

Thus it is best we here heighten border security to stem the
flow of illegal immigrants from that country. We must work fast
now to tighten security at the entry points and not wait till the
situation in Indonesia becomes worse than it is now.

Being neighbors, their political instability coupled with
economic glut would definitely affect us as well.
