THE Government will decide in the next few months whether it will re-impose a curfew in the border area in a bid to curb the inflow of illegal immigrants from China.

Deputy Secretary for Security Jim Morris said in a letter to legislators that a review would be undertaken before June.

More than 37,500 illegals immigrants were arrested last year, the highest number since 1981 and an increase of 47.6 per cent over 1991.

''Unfortunately 1994 has got off to an even worse start,'' Mr Morris said.
