They have appealed to the people not to utilize the work of the Bangladeshi people who have intruded from across the border.

I have a friend studying in Australia. The daily wage of a worker is fixed at $5 by the government. If any migrant student or worker works for less than that (say, $4 or $3), the one who knows about such a deal reports to the police who takes away all the wage from the worker and imposes a huge fine on the employer. Thus they keep a check on illegal migrants working for lower wages compared to the one fixed by the Mayor of the town or city.
