STRENGTHENING THE POSITION OF IMMIGRATION POLICIES IN THE PREVENTION OF TRADE CRIMINAL ACTIONS AND HUMAN STUNNING

PENGUATAN KEDUDUKAN KEBIJAKAN IMIGRASI DALAM PENCEGAHAN TINDAK PIDANA PENYELUNDUPAN MANUSIA LINTAS NEGARA

Abstract

Transnational crime in the territory of Indonesia is increasingly motivated by several pushes and pull
factors. First, Indonesia's strategic position makes many people tempted to anchor to Indonesia to
make Indonesia a transit country and live and develop. This is worrying because it cannot be denied
that foreigners enter a country in an illegal way and cross borders. Second, state borders without
immigration documents or other valid documents will create new problems, which of course, can lead
to criminal issues. Of course, a policy of equitable borders and controls is the answer to this problem.
Another thing that cannot be left out is that establishing a positive law that is firm and binding is the
key to the success of this policy. This research study uses normative legal research methods with
qualitative data collection juxtaposed with descriptive analysis techniques so that the existing
problems regarding transnational crimes, especially human smuggling, can be presented
comprehensively and informatively. Outreach to the community as the first informant is one of the
keys to community-based surveillance and enforcement management. It is hoped that with the
coordination and synergy of problems related to foreign nationals who are the perpetrators of human
smuggling crimes, it is expected that it can decrease statistically so that the selective policy principle that is aspired is that only foreigners who provide benefits and have valid documents can enter
Indonesian territory and give services to Indonesia's national progress.
