term "illegal immigrants" that it had used in the combined seventeenth to nineteenth periodic reports submitted to the Committee and revise it to "undocumented immigrants." Although the government used the term "undocumented immigrants" in its English-translated report that was submitted to UN in October 2017, the original Korean report still described them as "illegal immigrants." 16. In this regard, if laws related to foreigners such as the Immigration Act are to be revised, the government should take into account the fact that the majority of foreigners enter Korea with the purpose of employment. Also, the term "illegal immigrants," as stipulated in the Framework Act on Treatment of Foreigners Residing in Korea, should be avoided. Issue 3. Extension of the Definition of Multicultural Families 17. Although the number of immigrants who are staying in Korea for a long period with their families is increasing4, the Multicultural Families Support Act is applied on a limited basis such as naturalized citizens and marriage immigrants. As a result, "immigrant families of same nationalities, immigrant families of two different nationalities, and overseas Koreans who have settled in Korea after living abroad" are not considered as policy targets of the government. 18. The policies of central administrative agency and local governments, established in accordance to the pan-governmental national program, "Basic Plan for Immigration Policy," also targets multicultural families of marriage immigrants and their children, so other groups of multicultural families are naturally excluded from the immigration policy, leading to discriminatory treatment of those in other groups. 19. The government should establish a family policy that reflects the different types of multicultural families in Korea so that immigrants and their families are not excluded from the category of multicultural family based on their race, nationality, and status of sojourn. 4 The Survey on the Condition and Employment of Immigrants by the Statistics Korea and Ministry of Justice (2017) shows that as of May 2017, among the immigrants over 15 (1.23 million in total), single-person and two-person households accounted for 19.4% and 80.6%, respectively. 5
