Ways to resolve immigration matters

I READ with utter disappointment and dejection the letters “Vetting at certain points not strict enough” and “Onus on Immigration to process foreigners” (The Star, July 27).

Everyone knows that our Immigration Department is plagued with various weaknesses and shortcomings which threaten our national security. These very serious and critical problems require immediate corrective action and preventive measures. But they have been around for decades and nothing seems to be done to put and end to them once and for all.
