Thank you Paul for this timely revelation.  I would think that majority that are illegally in PI are Asian foreigners.  At the same token, I think that only a small number of BI officials will be caught -- and only the small fish.

I wonder if they will hunt on horses using bloodhounds? 

[Hey Steve]

With the amount of unsolved serious crimes, why would capturing these undesirable foreigners take priority whereas police resources are stretched so thin. Is it politically motivated to take this action-given the timing?

For all intents and purposes, this is like the seat belt law in California (unless its changed) you only get cited for not wearing your seat belt if you get stopped for a different violation.

My gut tells me that these violators will only get caught if a) someone turns them in, or b) if he is arrested for a different violation.

I thing the chances are unlikely though. Has anyone noticed how many "No plates available" signs there are? Even when they pass through check points, they are not stopped and checked for papers. Enforcement is very "reactive" here.
