This is a technique tried and tested in Japan — it works real well.

Will, I am sure that if you reported this to the Immigration Office, they might be thrilled with your civic sense… Or maybe not. Depends whether the construction site boss paid off people or not.

Some of the illegal Chinese labour force are working on a construction site next to the Seoul apartment I live in - several weeks ago, heard gutteral northern Chinese accents coming through the bathroom window, interspersed with the usual drilling and hammering.. They don’t sound like students though, more like village boys from Shandong…

Of course, this happens everywhere. Here in Japan it’s become a frequent topic of paranoid, isolationist newspaper columns. It doesn’t help that a number of illegal Chinese and Chinese students commit fairly high-profile crimes.

Chinese students disappearing in Gwangju to join illegal labor force. Gee, I wonder what line of work they’re in?
