    how is this an arrestable offense?

    Violation of visa/work permits isn’t an “arrestable offense”? What do you expect the government should do with those who stay and work in the country without valid documents?

      Pull out a gun and start blasting? Do you really think it’s only a binary choice?

      How about matching the severity of response to the infraction? As far as I know overstaying a visa has always been done through the judicial branch. More importantly if there are that many at a single company violating their visa restrictions, the company is the problem, not the individuals. An even better response might be legal action against the company. Either way these mass detentions are way out of proportion

      Jaywalking isn’t an arrestable offense? What do you expect the government to do with those who flaunt traffic rules nonchalantly?
