Tung rejects child IIs

Tung Chee-hwa said yesterday that illegal child immigrants would be repatriated to the mainland regardless of whether they were entitled to live here.

In his firmest remarks on the issue, Mr Tung said: 'It will do no good for them to come now.' 'I hope the parents of such children will not send them here via illegal channels. Not only will this cause danger to their life, they will end up being repatriated as well. The present Government and the SAR will definitely send them back.'
