Immigration Reform

Iranians have made up their mind when it comes to dealing with illegal immigrants. They simply kick them out. Sistan, the third largest province in Iran located in the southeast region bordering Afghanistan and Pakistan, has been very busy dealing with its foreign visitors. According to the IRNA news agency, a total of 165 villages in the Sistan province have been cleared of all its illegal immigrants. One governor from the region remarked that over 45,000 foreigners from the region have returned to their countries of origin since the program began in April. According to government authorities, the Iranian program to return illegal foreign nationals offers the illegals who agree to leave on their own accord, an option of a no-charge transportation service for all their belongings across the border.
