The National Immigration Agency (NIA) yesterday apologized for allowing a Chinese passenger to slip through immigration at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport last month and enter the country illegally.

The NIA Border Affairs Corps said in a statement that the mishap was the result of human error and measures have been taken to prevent it from happening ever again.

The intruder, identified only by his family name, Ke (柯), apparently jumped the gate of an unattended immigration counter on July 19 after arriving at Terminal 2 on a flight from Xiamen in China’s Fujian Province, border authorities said.

An investigation found that Ke, who has residency in the US, flew from Los Angeles to Qingdao in China’s Shandong Province and then to Xiamen before arriving in Taiwan.    [FULL  STORY]
