A police official said on Monday that a special campaign was launched in the province against foreign nationals living without legal documents. During the campaign, police arrested 19 Afghan nationals, he added.
Earlier, 12 illegal immigrants were arrested as they were living in Pakistan without registration with the UN refugee agency as a refugee.
The arrested Afghans were handed over to the district administration to register a case against them under the Foreigners Act.

Many "Afghans" entered Pakistan during the Afghan -Russian war, and it's interesting to note - thousands if not millions of these "refugees" were entering Pakistan with false documents. These people were actually Tajiks and Uzbeks claiming to be "Afghan refugees." Yet the Americans from the UN Refugee program let all these non Afghans into Pakistan.
