I want to make a point on the issue of the carrier and vehicles. The definition of "carrier" would include carriers of goods who transport persons lacking the required documentation into the State. If it is shown that such a carrier deliberately transports people and vehicles, or compartments of vehicles designed for goods, they should be dealt with under the legislation covering the illegal trafficking in persons. It would be better if the definition of "carrier" was confined to the carrier of passengers, which would overcome some of the difficulties.
