Illegal immigration is crime. Illegal mining is crime. A criminal committing crime. What kinda lawlessness is that? Not surprising since even our senior law enforcement officers are in court for crime. Can't expect criminals to fight criminals
Look for those responsible for their recruitment & engagement.
