Take back immigrants: DPP - TW/CN

In the wake of an offer to allow Chinese tourists to visit Taiwan, a legislator yesterday said Beijing should show good will by taking back the 2,223 illegal Chinese immigrants currently detained here.

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislator and caucus whip, Peter Lin (???) yesterday said "the detention centers for Chinese immigrants are vastly overcrowded because the Chinese government has been unwilling to take them back."

He said Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chairman Lien Chan (??) and People First Party (PFP) Chairman James Soong (???) should have asked Chinese leaders to repatriate the immigrants during their China visits.
