Danang’s Chair Van Huu Chien said that the city had petitioned the National Assembly and the Government’s permission to restrict immigrants in the two districts of Hai Chau and Thanh Khe. While waiting for the NA and Government’s decision, the city will temporarily ban immigrants in the two districts.
“The city still allows immigration in suburban districts. We only temporarily stop granting permanent residence registrations in the central area, which has high population density for better management,” Mr. Chien said.
Last December, the People’s Council of Da nang approved a resolution that hinders immigrants into the city.
According to the resolution, immigrants will not be given permanent residence status. However, they can still register as temporary residents.
According to Da nang’s officials, immigration has caused an overload in the city in recent years, because immigrants mainly live in the center. Immigrants have also caused many social and security problems because many of them are jobless and do not have stable accommodations. The city authorities, therefore, have to review and address the immigration management task.
They also said that management of rental houses is loose. The living standards of most immigrants are not ensured. A tightened control over immigrants is needed.
Da Nang’s Party Secretary Nguyen Ba Thanh also said that control of immigrants must be implemented immediately, not until Da Nang is severely overloaded like other big cities in Vietnam.
Da nang’s Chairman Van Huu Chien said that the number of immigrants in Da Nang has soared recently, only after Binh Duong province and HCM City. At present, there are up to 11,356 immigrant families, totaling 14,290 people, accounting for 11.5 percent of the city’s population.
The resolution became a hot topic. Many people said that Da nang has broken the law when banning immigrants.
Some agencies under the National Assembly and the government have also raised their voice against Da nang’s decision.
