Big Joke was right about a couple of things which they should focus on; 'the lack of strict law enforcement and corrupt officials'. The problem is that Police and Immigration Officers are paid such low wages, some, who knows how many, resort to accepting bribes so that they can live reasonably. Pay them a decent wage and warn them any that caught accepting bribes will be dismissed. They should also clamp down hard on Agents who don't do things legally. Another thing they can do is look deeper into the background of foreigners wanting to enter the country and refuse anyone with any criminal background, or connections to those with criminal backgrounds. Demanding higher financial requirements will only hurt the innocent foreigners

@Oliver *********

@Peterjames *********

not just a police officer, he is much higher in the chain.
