It's strange how many Indians complain of Bangladeshis living illegally in India yet nothing to be said about Indians doing the same in Sri Lanka?

Illegal Indian immigrants

The Controller of Department Immigration and Emigration, Chulananda Perera has to be commended for bringing to the notice of the public, the problem of Indians masquerading as tourists and engaging in employment locally. Though belated, one wonders why such an eventuality was not foreseen by the authorities promoting tourism, on a large scale.

No wonder Indians account for the highest number of tourist arrivals. Some Indian company owners are conniving with these individuals for cheap labour, bypassing the local market. Though the recent death of an Indian with a tourist visa opened the eyes of the Immigration Department, the public would want to know what additional measures the department would put in place now before a dangerous situation sets in.

I can recall an encounter at a supermarket in Colombo duing my holidays a couple of years ago. A young man approached me shyly from the interior of the store and asked me in broken English, which part of India I was from; he admitted that he was an Indian and needed help and when declared who I was, he was shaken and quietly crept back inside the store. This is a popular supermarket chain and it was clear that he had been employed there as a shop hand. What is more important than deporting the culprit is to impose harsh penalties, including the cancellation of licences of errant employers, who violate visa regulations and only such stringent measures will deter rackteers.

But last time I checked, they are not the one who's called locusts.

yes of course HK dont call indian that, because they have others to name you lot````'a san/a cha' just in case you are curious``

 

[LaBong]

Well my cousin is in tourism industry and operating some restaurants and spas, according to him German and British are good spenders, Japanese are too. Russians and Indians are less spenders. Israelis are trouble makers etc coz some western tourists don't like to see Israelis are in the pool.

No offense but are your cousing working as waiter there? Because normally resturants will charge same for the food irrespective of customer's nationality. I agree Europeans and Gulf Arabs should be more generous on tips.

Sorry but it seems even my bigger eyes can't understand your racist term, I don't how you can see that.

You are the comedian because you are trying to compare Illegal Indians flooding to Sri Lanka to Pregnant Women from Mainland China to HK when HK is a part of China and Sri Lanka is not part of India.
