L-awtoritajiet organizzaw kampanji ta' sensibilizzazzjoni bil-għan li jipprevjenu l-migrazzjoni irregolari u adottaw leġiżlazzjoni ġdida bil-għan li tipprevjeni l-migrazzjoni irregolari billi ttaffi l-problemi finanzjarji u ekonomiċi li jiffaċċjaw iċ-ċittadini, peress li l-fattur l-aktar sinifikanti għal dan il-fluss kbir ta' migranti kien id-diffikultà ekonomika, u sforzi akbar kontra l-faċilitazzjoni ta' immigrazzjoni illegali (twettqu 21 operazzjoni, li rriżultaw fi 86 persuna arrestata).
