Speaking to IRNA on the sidelines of a visit to the 24th Iran Media Expo on Monday, the official said that the presence of unauthorized immigrants has led to some incidents in Iran, which indicate that the issue should not be ignored.
“We are determined to send all of them [the unauthorized immigrants] back,” he said, stressing that Iran will not even tolerate the presence of a single unauthorize immigrant on its soil.
Mobini said that the terrorist incidents in Kerman and Shahcheragh proved that the issue of undocumented immigrants must not be ignored, and Tehran has even informed international organizations that these immigrants have to leave Iran.
The official added that Iran is hosting as many as 3.5 million documented immigrants of different nationalities, who have ID cards.
Some 670,000 of these immigrants are school students, around 170,000 of them study in Iranian universities, and 300,000 others are young children, Mobini said.
