WHY ARE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS REPATRIATED
1. The decision to reintroduce the policy of repatriating
illegal immigrants was taken in 1974 because immigrants were
arriving in such numbers that the social services in Hong
Kong were coming under strain. Hong Kong is already one
of the most densely populated places in the world.
WHY ARE THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS NOT REGARDED AS REFUGEES
2. They are not refugees in the sense of people fleeing
from persecution. They are merely people, many of them
from poor, rural areas, attracted by the prospect of a
higher material standard of living in Hong Kong.
