At the inland dock of Jin Galun Port, downstream of the Everflow River, a few young people in uniforms were standing next to the newsstand.
They were the water police in this area, mainly responsible for inspecting smuggling, maintaining order at the docks and in shipping, and rescuing drowned stowaways.
Compared to the military factions in Tiger State and Leopard State, who would shoot at escaping refugees crossing borders, the authorities in Jin Galun Port were relatively lenient towards acts of illegal immigration.
Out of a sense of morality, the authorities would not repatriate them, but neither could they allow the refugees to rush into the city unchecked.
Usually, they would send the refugees to a settlement point in the suburbs, let these people stay temporarily, find some work at the dock, or help them get jobs while teaching them basic life skills and necessary legal knowledge.
