Over a week, Saudi Arabia was able to arrest a total of 19,831 unlawful immigrants specifically in terms of border control. The crack on lawless movements can be construed as the Kingdom's dedication to bordering across their jurisdictions. This move places Saudi Arabia in a good direction especially since illegal immigration has been the talk of the town.
More than 19,800 illegal immigrants were reported to have been arrested in various other cities and regions of Saudi Arabia who did not have legal documents to live in the country. It was also reported by the Ministry of Interior that those who were arrested had illegal records, one of which was working without authorization. This made it easier for authorities in handling those who were arrested because deportation procedures had already been initiated.
The illegality of workers is understood to hide potential unfair practices and challenges within a country’s economy. It is also understood that such illegal employment affects immigration concerns. This is why there is control within the workforce as Saudi Arabia strives to eradicate the non-eligible employment thereby ensuring a lawfully abiding access to enhanced opportunities for eligible residents as well as citizens of the Kingdom.
Border security as well as other regulations on the foreign workforce has been the chief goal of Saudi Arabia for a number of years. Initiatives that had clear and aimed rundowns targeting to improve the legitimacy of employment across the board have also been put in place. All of these initiatives fall under the purview of the Vision 2030 Plan, an initiative that aims to help in restructuring the kingdom, making it modernistic and more relevant in global markets.
The anti-immigration measures are the reason why the citizens of the kingdom are sure of their safety and sovereignty within the country… And this is confidence that is evident in the unwavering commitment of the Saudi powers through active means to ensure there is no breach that would jeopardize the security and safety of citizens and lawful residents. The security of the country has attracted more initiatives to boost eligibility for lawful immigration thereby targeting increasing employment opportunities within the kingdom.
