Several civic groups in Taiwan rallied at the Executive Yuan to support the draft bill for the 'Protection of the rights and interests of new Taiwanese residents', advocating for legislative measures to safeguard the welfare of migrant workers. They demanded the creation of a dedicated unit for managing immigration policy, a broader definition of 'new residents' to include blue-collar workers, and the incorporation of human rights protections. The bill, which passed the first reading but lacked crucial aspects, is set for cross-party negotiations in the Legislative Yuan, with groups planning to meet with political leaders to address concerns.
