Although some people think the ROC military is being over-cautious and that the vast majority of illegal mainland immigrants are just coming here to find work, the majority do not deny that if further large influxes of mainland Chinese enter Taiwan there are bound to be social problems due to the local land and population situations, even if they do come simply to seek work.
儘管有人認為軍方可能「太過緊張」，絕大多數偷渡者只是想來打打工；但大部分人都不否認，如果大陸偷渡客再大量進入，即使他們只是單純地打工，以台灣現有的土地和人口條件來說，也必然造成社會問題。
