The research has five chapters. The first contains the introduction and research background which explains the entrance of the illegal immigrants in Malaysia and the law that governed these illegal immigrants. It also contains the objective, problem statement, scope and methodology of research carried out and the limitation of the research that we faced in order to complete this research.

While chapter 3 describes the lacunae and loophole in the law that governed the officers as well as the illegal immigrants which is Immigration Act 1959. Chapter 4 focuses on the finding that we get through interview irregular migrants who were apprehended and placed in the state run depot prior to deportation. It examines their interface with the Malaysian immigration, labor and criminal laws and how policy measures put in place impacted on their lives and work.
