Causes and consequences of rat smuggling and patient smuggling.

origin

With the rise of the European capital movement 500 years ago, some transnational business transactions increased day by day, and many businessmen started large-scale illegal entry and "smuggling" under the condition of imperfect laws at that time.

Among them, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese and British "sneaked into" Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong and Macau on the southeast coast of China to do business.

Since the Ming Dynasty, China Zheng He's seven voyages to the West were also escorted by powerful gunboats, and he wandered uninvited in the Indian Ocean countries of Southeast Asia, South Asia and East Africa. Especially after the Opium War, businessmen from Spain, Britain and other western countries smuggled hundreds of thousands of laborers from Xiamen and Shantou to North and South America and South Africa respectively.

Among them, from 1847 to 1852, there were 15000 Chinese workers who smuggled out of Xiamen. After 1852, 40,000 China laborers "smuggled" from Shantou; In addition, this trade, which was accused by Chinese people of selling "piglets", was also transferred to Macao. According to relevant historical statistics, hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers smuggled from Macao to Cuba and Peru.

By 1882, 290,000 China laborers had been "smuggled" by western powers to San Francisco in the western United States to develop gold mines and build railways in San Francisco.

According to relevant statistics, from 1807 to 1925, more than 3 million Chinese workers illegally "smuggled" into the world through the hands of the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, France, Britain, the United States and other countries.

The origin of these illegal immigration activities began with the expansion of western powers. Successive governments in China resolutely opposed this large-scale illegal "smuggling" of immigrants across the ocean and were confined in cabins with no personal safety guarantee.

This illegal smuggling behavior taught by western ancestors has already formed the custom of "going out" in the southeast coast of China.

harm

For a country, smuggling affects the normal personnel exchanges between countries, reduces visa income, disrupts border management and security, and then brings hidden dangers to the whole national security. For individuals, it violates the border management regulations, increases the risk factor, and personal safety cannot be guaranteed.

It is illegal to invest now. If you are caught, you will be severely punished, and it will also do great harm to your life safety, so don't try to smuggle people by illegal means.
