Not only from border officials but the participation of the community can increase work efficiency in monitoring immigrants entering Indonesian territory. In addition, the local community also needs to be educated on how to deal with refugees who arrive at the border area. Also the perpetrators of fraud and trafficking under the guise of Rohingya refugees must be strictly prosecuted and for Rohingya refugees who violate the rules are prosecuted under Indonesian and international law as well as returned to the country to be legally tried.
