This is in response to the article “Many illegals detained in Jeddah crackdown” in Saudi Gazette Feb. 17. What people need to understand is, it's not just Saudi Arabia, but every country in the world would like to control the number of illegals. If you are residing illegally in a country, you don't belong there. Deporting illegals is just a way to protect the country's economy and make opportunities for citizens and legal residents. But the authorities do need to handle the procedure in a more humane way. Donald D via online II This is in response to the article “Many illegals detained in Jeddah crackdown” in Saudi Gazette Feb. 17. In my opinion this cat and mouse game of catching the illegals and letting them off should end. Please, I request you to deport them or end the raids, which sometimes end up in some illegals being released only to be caught again. Rehan via online
