How did she live there so long. Married to a Sri Lankan Man? OR illegal.

This is what happens when screening of people are not undertaken prior to arrival, and enforcement agents are not deporting overstayers. Now, no visas policy will increase the problem.
Police need to treat foreigners breaking laws same as if a local was, not just stand around and let then do what they want, do we get special treatment in their country? Any one coming for a holiday must respect laws of the land they are in and not act like they are above the law because of skin colour
