Abstract
Along with uncertain economic conditions, many workers seek other opportunities abroad, but the bureaus that dispatch immigrants sometimes do not complement the human resources sent abroad. The main causes for the emergence of workers who leave illegally/through the back (undocumented) include lower costs and relatively fast processes. Undocumented workers are a serious problem because of the vulnerability of legal protection for those concerned and weakening the bargaining position with users of labor services. They easily suppress TKI with this irregular condition. Legal protection for irregular migrant workers is the protection of human rights by providing equal rights to other migrant workers without any discrimination, equal justice, and providing effective remedies. As stated in the CMW, it guarantees equal treatment and prohibits discrimination between migrant workers and citizens.
