Immigrants in Malaysia

The number of immigrants moving to our country is getting greater and greater every year. As a Malaysian, should we accept or reject them?

In my opinion, I would say to send them back after they have done with their work.

In fact, not to be stereotyping, Malaysia's crime rate has been increasing and one of the factors is because of the immigrants especially those illegal immigrants. I would like to share my experience that makes me think that accepting immigrants will increase the crime rate in our country:

My friends and I met a flasher outside our university. We reported to the security guard at our university and in the end the flasher was caught by the security guard. We filed a police report and the flasher was successfully arrested by the police. One or two days later, the police officer wanted us (the victims) to go to the detention centre to recognize and to officially point out the flasher among 10 suspects (including the flasher). In the detention centre, there was a white board recording the amount of suspects in the "jail". They categorized it based on the ethnicity of the suspects. What I noticed was the number of immigrants was the largest compared to the Malay, Chinese, Indian and Others categories.

Moreover, the job opportunity for the Malaysians will decrease if we keep on accepting immigrants. Employers nowadays would prefer to hire foreign workers rather than local workers as majority of the local workers have high payment expectation. When they hire foreign workers, the employers can save more money. Therefore, in the future, we Malaysians will end up "fighting" with the immigrants for job opportunities. 

With these 2 major reasons, I think that it is better to send the immigrants back to their own country after their permit expired.
