One factor that seems to continue to be overlooked in all media reporting about this issue is the preponderance of factory and farm jobs that are more than keen to hire people regardless of visa status. Being a legal immigrant in Korea, I spend a fair amount of time browsing through online job postings, and there are quite a few companies and recruiters who openly advertise work for people with no visa (in other words, "illegal immigrants"). The reason why there are so many people here illegally is because there are jobs willing to hire them, usually for very low pay and very long working hours. Cracking down on the employers rather than simply targeting the illegal employees would definitely help reduce the temptation to live and work illegally in Korea.

I agree with you. And even with that, I think of the laws in Florida that recently passed that made it illegal to hire illegal immigrants and now the construction and agriculture business is feeling the negative of that. I don't think people fully get how important these jobs are and I wish there was more protection for the workers over all.

400 000 in 2 millions are illegal? That's huge! I wonder if foreigners who find themselves in an illegal situation despite their best efforts are counted in that number, or is it made of people who consciously choose to break Korean law. For example, during my first year in Korea, I found out that I was actually not legally registered as an employee by my boss. I came legally, I provided all my degrees, I did the medical tests to show that I was desease and drug free, I did everything by the book, but my boss didn't want to pay taxes so he registered me as an independant worker, which was illegal under my visa at the time (E2). I found out when I wanted to renew my visa, and immigration told me it was not possible because I had not paid my taxes properly. I explained everything to the immigration officers and did my best to regularize my situation. They told me that it happens quite often. In the end, my boss had to pay back the taxes that he owed but he was never punished for consciously breaking the law.

>In the end, my boss had to pay back the taxes that he owed but he was never punished for consciously breaking the law. That's source of the problem with illegal immigrants in Korea. The fact that there are employers are willing to hire illegal immigrants with basically no consequences. In neighboring Japan it will be close to impossible to find any kind of meaningful employment with tourist visa or expired visa even if the country is experiencing labor shortage. UPD. For comparison, there were only 70 thousand illegal immigrants in Japan as of January 1st, 2023 out of 2.7 million foreigners living in the country.

The interviewee @9:20 gave the most logical explanation. Doing it the right way to protect Korean citizens and legal immigrants who followed the protocol.

If there are that many illegal/undocumented immigrants, than the Immigration Office has been sleeping in a country where things are relatively strictly monitored. Illegal immigration is a problem and it should not be accepted, not in Korea and not elsewhere.

How many of these illegal immigrants are North Americans and Europeans that enter the country on a working or tourist visa and just overstay? When I was in Korea I met quite a few people from rich western countries that had been in Korea for years illegally and survive by doing cash jobs around Itaewon. Many of these people are highly social in nature and know how to make friends quickly and live on the cheap. They don't want to return to their home country (or get a real job) and would rather live like a backpacker in a party neighbourhood of Seoul. I knew an Irish man that overstayed his visa and survived by doing private ESL tutoring for cash. I also knew a German that had lived in Korea illegally for 7 years and survived by doing cash jobs such as piano tutoring and private German language lessons.

Korea must learn from the 3rd world importing disaster in western countries and keep their population indigenous.

This problem will only worsen due to the increasing threat of drugs in Korea. Ppl might think this is just an exaggeration but drugs are becoming a major issue and are often tied to illegal immigrants for a reason. Of course there should be a policy to help illegal immigrants who have been in the country for a while now (I'd personally say over 10 yrs), but to make this happen they should also expect to have a full background check and heavy investigation done on them. Also, I'm honestly rather surprised that the younger generation has a more profound and accepting view of illegal immigrants considering that Koreans are already struggling from housing issues due to their small landmass. At the same time, it's not unexpected for the older generation to show malice since most of them worked up from the very bottom when Korea was one of the poorest nations a little over 50 yrs ago. The Chinese being part of the group also adds fuel to the fire considering the political tension, and China hasn't had a good reputation since the crackdown of KR entertainment in China during 2016 and the clash with Chinese netizens. Anyways, this is my thoughts on the issue and it's nice to see how others think.

Most employesr of illegal immigrants do NOT pay the minimum wage as stated and they do not pay taxes on thier salary which reduces the daily operational overhead. Many dues to language issues cannot gain proper employment so they are much more willing to take anything they can. Thus providing a lower daily cost for the average Koreans. You just do not see the benefits. If those jobs were taken over by the Korean nationals, the employers would be forced to pay the minimum wage or a wage that would be sustainable for a decent living, which would lead to higher cost for everything.

You can make the same argument in just about every first world country. Birth rates are low, and there are many 3D jobs that natives don’t want, so illegals are “vital to social structure and daily function of life.” But does Need justify the breaking of the Law? That’s the running debate, isn’t it? To me, the solution is fairly simple: expand legal immigration (naturalization). I know tons of illegal Mexican workers here in the US. They would love to be legal and pay taxes, to be called citizens, but there is no pathway (except through marrying a native, or having kids born in the US). Meanwhile, other Latin countries (Peru, Bolivia, Cuba) have much easier pathways. If their services (Mexicans) are recognized to be so needed (and one can debate this), esp in agriculture, why not open a pathway? I guess the same question should apply to Korea.

Wow. I am an American and this think these Koreans have a very level-headed approach to this subject. It is commendable that they do not necessarily condemn them, recognize that they do have merits, understand the decline in the Korean population (lower birth rates), understand the complexity of cultural differences, etc, etc. I am impressed with the responses. I would attribute this to their superior education system and we in the United States should take note how the people here are educated and emulate it. These Koreans are good decent people. I used to work there myself and my personal experience was that generally people were very decent and accepting.

There is only one Korea and Korea's population is small. With just a small amount of immigration, Korea could be completely lost forever. And you can look at the US, France, and other western nations and see the results of mass immigration: homelessness, complete destruction of culture, loss of social cohesion, drug addiction, hopelessness, escalating violence, and politicians constantly using the divisions to create internal conflicts to gain more power.

Thank you for posting The issue often seems to stem to punching down on immigrants and outsiders. Nothing is said about the companies and people who employ these "illegal" immigrants. For example California farming would collapse wthout Mexican labor, yet it is these honest hard working people who are called out. So would Japanese factory work. Singapore nanny care. Its a long list. Ask the same question in any G7 country and we often get the same answer. The issue is that we are asking the wrong question. The question are 1 "how feasible is legal immigration ?" If immigration is possible, then why are so many illegals coming. The problem is Govt policy, not the people coming. Fix the domestic situation. 2 "why are these people coming ?" War. Famine. Opportunity. Violence. its a long list. 3 "how many of the domestic society are comfortable with that ?" This is a question that will probably cause some hurt feelings. 4 "how many of these foreign workers should be able to stay ?" Assuming they register to work, follow the laws and pay their taxes. Rather it becomes a political football with people like angry grandpa reacting to news reports when its the Korean companies that are breaking the law. The illegals will be deported, but the domestic boss just hires another illegal.

I believe the people at the top of the foodchain in every developed country are ultimately responsible for the illegal immigration crisis within their respective countries' borders. I believe too many societies are set up to accept the exploitation of the least fortunate. Undocumented/illegal immigrants present a readily exploitable workforce for developed nations. The powerful business elites of these nations can hire/pay undocumented/illegal workers under the table and for oftentimes less than citizens. These powerful business people can also force the undocumented workers into work conditions that may be labor/safety violations. But in the discussions of illegal immigration and law enforcement in all these developed countries the emphasis is placed on the undocumented/illegal workers rather than on the crooked native business people who hire them to evade fair labor/fair pay work rules/laws. First world nations may have moved away from physical slavery; but they have demonstated a total commitment to economic slavery.

Lol 400k illegal immigrants? Malaysia has millions from bangladesh, pakistan, myanmar and refugees rohinya, filipino. So many in kl especially. Rohinya itself is 200k. Keep having babies

The reason there're a lot of illegal immigrants in Korea and other developed nations is that there is work for them there, work that the common citizens from these countries don't want to do like working on farms, factories, being maids, nannies, line cooks, construction, and many more labor intensive and low paid positions.

What sort of problems do they usually make? Do they personally know any immigrant?

I agree but keep in mind this is just a street interview with passerbys. They’re lucky that the interviewees agreed to be filmed and have somewhat of a basic knowledge on immigrants and current news. You won’t run into many illegal immigrants living in the city so these people are just reiterating stuff they’ve “heard of” and seen on the news.

@GreenGoblin9 i agree, and that's why i think it's important for the interviewer to give more context or story to the passersbies as well. Like, looking at the girl in 8:37, she didn't know how to react to that question because the story doesn't connect to her at all. If someone asked me, "The govt will crackdown on 100k illegal immigrant, what do you think?" without much additional context, i wouldn't know how to answer either. The interviewer should give more context or ask something that the ordinary citizen can connect to. Easier said than done though. Interviewing is a skill, i believe they can be better.

Almost half a million fuhonyokokusha in south korea. That is something absurd since those are people who should not even be there.

At least Korea's taking action. Here in my utter embarrassment of a country our former Prime Minister actually apologised for the actions past governments took agains them. Our cities are unsafe, day or night, because of rampant brown crime.

A lot of young people in Korea are so respectful and thoughtful. Really nice their consideration... Some elderly on the other hand. 💀

These illegals don't have any desire to make their countries better they rather live as second class people. Then as their numbers grew they have the audacity to call America a racist society and demand American citizenship ahead of those law bidding people who are waiting their turn to enter the US legally. They have turn neighborhoods into dangerous slums. Same problem faced by most advanced countries not only in US. Look at France, Germany, UK, Sweden, etc I heard Swedes are paying them to go back. LOL ! Most illegals are not political refugees they are economic refugees

Good approach, in America you be called racist if you supported cracking down in illegal immigrants.

These days, if you go to an industrial complex in a small city in Korea, there are more illegal foreign workers than Koreans. Even though the work is difficult, they work because they are paid 10 times more than in their home country. This leads employers to hire illegal immigrants rather than complain about natives. The working environment of Korean small and medium-sized companies has not changed for 20 years. It is also true that as the number of illegal immigrants increases, jobs for ordinary people have decreased significantly. Employers also have no intention of changing the environment and continue to hire illegal workers. Koreans want to work in a good environment, but that doesn't change because of illegal immigrants. Moreover, most people working in illegal entertainment bars in Korea are Chinese or Southeast Asian. Of course, those who come to work legally are always welcome!!!

There are lots of illegal migrants in Korea because of the following; 1. Some employers preferred them because they dont pay taxes, imagine if you have a business with 10 locals and 10 illegal immigrant. You will pay taxes for only 10 people, insurance 10 people and other benefits. 2. Those illegal immigrants are working in 4D's(difficult, dangerous, dirty delayed salary) 3. Some Koreans dont like 4D's work. 4. Some Korean employer prefers illegal immigrant because they can give them below the minimum salary. Because illegal immigrant have no choice but to accept the offer. 5. Illegal immigrants dont have any other benefits thats why some korean employers hire them. 6. Even if the immigrants is legal their salary is not the same as Korean and even in benefits.

10:39 is the answer of 5:29. most young koreans prefer to work in convenience stores rather than work in factories. Korean youth prefer to stay at home rather than work in factories. that is why most of them have never been registered as job seekers at the employment center. thats what I Heard

A bit confused about what is qualified an illegal immigrant Is it someone that has no visa or someone in irregular situation? Because in some cases you can't really avoid irregular situations mainly because the immigration office is under founded and under staffed To take a concrete example, in case of change of address you have 14 days to take an appointment at the immigration to inform then of the change but it takes between 3 to 4 weeks to get an appointment at the Seoul immigration office meaning you'll end up in an irregular situation with no other choice

You can luckily report the changed address online now. But I get your point! Had a similar problem where I needed to renew my passport. Embassy took over a month to issue the new passport but printed the date of application as issuing date. Hence I was not able to report the change online because 2 weeks deadline had been passed. Had to make an appointment which took another few months waiting time and get an official document from embassy explaining the situation. This whole thing shows that it happens faster to do something illegal as one might think.

Illegal by means: 1) misuse the issued visa. For example coming as a tourist visa but upon arrival, started working. Or coming as a student. After enrolled in a university, went missing. Students from Vietnam have the highest record of this 2) Illegal stay even after the visa expired. To change the address, no need to go to immi. You can simply do it online or you can visit 주민세터. No need reservations

Most of the people in these statistics are people who entered the country on tourist visas that do not allow them to work and have overstayed their stay. Unlike 20 years ago, these days, when you go to industrial complexes in small cities in Korea, there are more foreigners than Koreans. Even though he is an illegal immigrant, he walks the streets without problems because he knows that Korea's crackdown is lax. Foreigners who come to work legally are always welcome!!

What seems to be lost on a lot of welcoming societies is that immigrants, they do make babies, more than the locals. In 3 generations, how many of these immigrants, who will probably not hold traditional values and beliefs of the Korean society, will you have. Let's say Korea has 45M citizens. 2.5M immigrants, make 3 babies each couples. 3.75M babies. These babies form couples that make 5.625M babies. When these come of age and vote, you now have have 11,875M people that come from immigration. They would represent approximately 20% of your population. They could definitively sway elections and culture.

Very thoughtful answers... I would be interested to know if other interviews were conducted, but not used in the final edit -- or if this is actually a fairly random sample of opinion on the street. I don't think the girls in Hongdae would answer like this, but maybe I'm mistaken. These responses are really well considered, like what might be heard near a university.

The people in the interview sound like they would fall along the top 30% of the population in their intelligence and specific knowledge on this issue, or at least their ability to think through it before speaking. But they do not sound as intelligent as my peers who went to top 3 sky universities (snu, ku, yonsei). The difference I can feel is that my friends would have more effortlessness and a bit of a playful attitude in their responses while remaining on point whereas you can tell some of these people are using a large portion of their brain to process the interview.
