Illegal ports have provided means for illegal immigrants to enter Indonesia, immigration director general Basyir Ahmad Barmawi said on Wednesday, as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
According to reports there are 41 illegal ports in Batam. These have been used not only by smugglers but also human traffickers, particularly from abroad.
"We will deal with illegal immigrants with the help of various other institutions," Batam administration officer I Wayan Subawa said.
Illegal immigrants come under the authority of the Foreign Ministry. (amr)
