National Immigration Bureau： Since the beginning of this year, more than 6,000 illegal immigrants have been seized.

　　Cctv newsOn the morning of Monday, August 19th, 2024, the State Council Press Office held a series of press conferences on "Promoting High-quality Development". Liu Haitao, deputy director of the National Immigration Bureau, attended the briefing and answered questions from reporters.

　　Liu Haitao, deputy director of the National Immigration Bureau, said that in recent years, with the changes in the international situation and the surrounding geographical situation, some new trends and new features have emerged in illegal and criminal activities that hinder the management of the country (border). As far as the field of immigration management is concerned, it is mainly manifested in two aspects:

　　First, in the border areas, the illegal exit activities of China nationals have been effectively curbed, and the number of illegal exits seized has decreased by 30% compared with last year; However, due to various factors, the number of illegal workers who illegally enter the country through the border has increased. Second, at open ports, domestic and foreign smuggling gangs collude with each other. By recruiting people, forging invitation letters, and defrauding social security, the attempted smugglers are "packaged" into business people or qualified company employees, defrauding entry and exit documents, and organizing them to engage in cross-border illegal and criminal activities abroad still exists. Some criminal gangs organized mainland residents to travel to East Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe, Central and South America and other countries via Hong Kong and Macao, and the cases of diversion and smuggling were also prominent.

　　In order to ensure the security and stability of the national border and the normal entry and exit order, the State Administration of Immigration has made overall plans to guide the national immigration management agencies, deepened the five-in-one work measures of "fighting, checking, managing, governing and linking", and strictly prevented all kinds of illegal and criminal activities that hinder the national (border) territory.

　　We continue to carry out special crackdown operations, and have carried out the "hunting" operation for four consecutive years. "Liao" is an animal fighting with snakes, and it is the natural enemy of snakes. Relying on the "Liao Hunting" action, I supervised the serious and extra-large cases, concentrated on the deployment of cluster campaigns, and realized centralized judgment of the same type of cases, coordinated investigation of cross-regional cases, and cracking down on crimes in the whole chain, successfully cutting off a large number of smuggling channels, effectively destroying a large number of illegal interest chains, and greatly shocking the arrogance of criminals at home and abroad.

　　We strengthened the accurate inspection of ports. Perform the statutory duties of frontier inspection according to law, timely judge the trends of cross-border illegal and criminal activities such as smuggling, dynamically adjust targeted inspection measures, and strictly guard against illegal entry and exit.

　　We strengthened border patrol control. We will improve the three-dimensional border prevention and control system, give full play to the role of physical defense technology in civil air defense, effectively control the mountain passes, sidewalks and ferries that lead to the border, and further strengthen the border prevention and control defense line.

　　We also carry out source management in key areas. Adhere to the integration and organic integration of crackdown and governance, promote the integration of anti-smuggling work into the comprehensive management at the grassroots level, carry out centralized rectification activities in key areas, rectify and ban a number of illegal intermediaries, and investigate and deal with a number of illegal enterprises, thus effectively curbing the problem of illegal smuggling in key areas.

　　We have continuously deepened international law enforcement cooperation. Continue to strengthen law enforcement cooperation with relevant countries and regions, and establish and improve mechanisms and measures such as clue information notification, joint investigation of cases, and pursuit and arrest of suspects. We will continue to intensify overseas "snake-catching" operations and resolutely squeeze the space for overseas criminals to avoid crimes.

　　Since the beginning of this year, the country has cracked more than 22,000 criminal cases that hinder the management of national (border) territory, arrested more than 39,000 criminal suspects, and seized more than 6,000 stowaways. Together with relevant countries, it successfully arrested 103 target fugitives who fled abroad, and the deterrent effect continued to increase.. In the next step, the National Immigration Bureau will always focus on the overall situation of national political security and economic and social development, unswervingly implement the overall concept of national security, and continue to crack down on all kinds of crimes that hinder the management of the country (border) with higher standards, more detailed arrangements and more practical measures, and fully safeguard the national political security, the stability of the national border and the normal entry and exit order.
