HCM City expels 52 illegal border crossers


This is the second expulsion so far this year. The crossers admitted to crossing the border into northern Vietnam illegally with the help of a Vietnamese broker. They later took a bus to HCM City to find jobs or intended to continue to cross over into Cambodia.

Colonel Nguyen Sy Quang, deputy head of the HCM City Police Department, said they would patrol and inspect accommodation facilities more frequently to prevent illegal crossings.

Crossing borders illegally is an obvious violation and it is even more serious amid the ongoing pandemic when the virus can be spread easily.

Recently, the police have prosecuted several Vietnamese people for organising illegal border crossings. Nguyen Van Thanh, born in 1995, was prosecuted after helping 13 foreigners enter and stay in Vietnam. Nguyen Van Huan, born in 1982, and Tran Hoai Thanh, born in 1981, were prosecuted for helping 11 foreigners enter and stay in Vietnam.
