"The study, titled "Legal Aspects of Deportation in the UAE", addressed the issue of economic and financial effects of deportation of infiltrators saying that these illegal immigrants constitute a heavy burden on national economy. "The law allows detention of any foreigner against whom a deportation order is issued for a period not exceeding two weeks. As Article 83 of the law permits the Ministry of Interior to bear the expense of deporting any foreigner from the country, the government caters to all expense related to this issue including accommodation and return tickets for some of these illegal immigrants, the study said."
