You're going to have to provide a link to that.  Because I suspect it's Team Biden in an election year when they finally snapped to the fact that the polls are so heavily against him on immigration.  Looking to blame someone else, when it was his 90+ executive actions that caused the spike.  The invasion, if you will.

 

If I had access to YouTube, I could post a quite a few videos of Team Biden DHS Chief Mayorkis and Team Biden Border Czar Harris, insisting that the border is secure.  Maybe someone else can help me out there...

 

Meantime, here's some tidbits:

Presidency in peril! The Party that refashioned the old JFk party to fit their Marxist agenda , got some of their base riled up it seems.

Figures from the source:
Roughly two-thirds of Americans now disapprove of how Biden is handling border security, including about 4 in 10 Democrats, 55% of Black adults and 73% of Hispanic adults, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll conducted in March.

If I ever showed up at a company meeting like he showed up at the SOTU, I'd have been "randomly" drug tested the next day.

 

It was a Porky Pig loony tune event, full of 

biden mumbling something about

the murdered college student Lakin Riley at the hands of a sadistic Illegal border crosser!

MtG the Gop rep from Georgia where the murder took place trolled him up by shouting say her name , say her name!

Then he made a two for gaff.Probably bigger then his Trans day gaff during Easter, which his Marxist supporters are trying to walk back.

“Lincoln — Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal,” Biden said, both botching her name and using a term considered politically incorrect by most Democratic officeholders.

Bit like the alcohol sales hours then. Close sales window during 2pm to 5pm because kids come out of school, and in every other country in the world, kids automatically head to the off licence for their hooch.

I’d be first to agree with having alcohol sales between two & Five!

During my day ive done all manner of mind altering chemicals and much more in the USA, Jsyk.

Thailands Government has  a right to rethink mind altering Weed, especially when it comes to kids.

So you're saying "the children" were safe right up until 9 June 2022, and then - boom - they started suffering.

 

And please do not invoke the "gateway drug" argument. Thailand blew through the gateway years ago, and is now massively addicted to methamphetamine, with crystal meth and ketamine making a surge. An Opioid crisis is probably 2 ~ 3 years out.

 

Drowning is the leading cause of premature death here in children 15 and under.

 

Is anyone leading the charge to make water illegal?

 

 

If cannabis cannot be controlled, thereby limiting access by children, then nothing can, and yet, the "government" is keen on controlling vapes, ecigs, alcohol, gambling, and tobacco.

 

And the cost of decent cannabis is far outside the reach of 80% of "the youths", who prefer meth, or a happy water cocktail. 

 

 

 

 

 

You’re a Progressive! Weed is a mind 

altering drug! Many Progressives , like the recreational use .

In the hands of the gullible , uninformed, uneducated young children in Thailand it could have devastating effects!

Im thinking ,Its their country stop with trying to make it look like the country isnt deserving of the right to rethink whats good  for the future of their kids.

It's going to be a bitch trying to get that Genie back in the bottle if not impossible. The PM needs to do a little research on the benefits of cannabis, let alone the tax revenue!  But you can't fix stupid....

Its about the kids ! Kids gain access to it ! 

Thai Govt would have a difficult time in keeping weed out of young children's hands!  Example:The authorities cant even enforce a helmet law .

The overall point is that a couple of 'foreigners behaving badly' incidents of late stimulated a typical knee jerk reaction with clarion calls for 'tightening-up' on foreigners by immigration.

 

As I confidently foresaw tightening-up on the ACTUAL laws a bit ho-hum and won't amount to anything, but the 'go get em floyd' rah rah speech to the troops is only likely to engender the rabid pursuit of their IMAGINED laws - as endured by the O.P.

The op didnt mention any of this , to infer this type of  interrogation.

Yes it is true , IO is on the look out for dirty falangs / unscrupulous Sods.

But he did mention what appears to be a possible money grab scheme!

Lets face it

Land borders & air entries have different rules , as mentioned and IO around Thailand and interpretation of them are different at times .

It has been very confusing over the years.

The House of Representatives voted in favour of legalising gambling while boosting the nation’s economy. The special commission championing the creation of integrated entertainment complexes unveiled its plan, urging the government to join hands with the private sector.

The commission stressed that public involvement is key, advocating for the legalisation of specific gambling forms like Thai boxing to drive this initiative forward.

 

The commission’s exhaustive study revealed promising prospects: these complexes could smash unemployment rates and deal a knockout blow to illegal gambling. But beware, it cautioned, as such ventures could also unleash a plethora of addiction and crime, potentially ruffling the feathers of religious sensibilities.

 

As the debate raged on at the House of Representatives, opinions clashed. Supporters hailed the plan as a sure-fire way to clean up the streets and bolster the nation’s coffers. Yet, sceptics remained unconvinced, doubting its efficacy in stamping out the scourge of illegal gambling once and for all.

 

 

ORIGINAL STORY: Thailand mulls over legalising casinos to boost economy

 

Thailand Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin advocated for the establishment of entertainment complexes housing casinos in the country. The 62 year old prime minister stated his belief yesterday, March 28, that legalising casinos could potentially extinguish illegal gambling dens and divert gamblers’ money towards the state.

 

The Thai PM further added that these complexes would operate under proper regulations, leading to efficient tax collection.

 

This statement was given as the House of Representatives gave their approval to a report prepared by the House committee, which was specifically set up to study the feasibility of such complexes. Prime Minister Srettha addressed the concerns about the potential negative social implications of opening casinos, stating that these complexes would be lawfully regulated with security agencies and local officials overseeing them.

 

Julapun Amornvivat, Deputy Finance Minister and chair of the House committee, stated yesterday that the study found considerable economic benefits in these entertainment complexes, although negative impacts were also foreseeable.

 

“Such complexes would create jobs, boost tourism, and curb illegal gambling.”

The study advised that a bill should be enacted, providing a legal basis for the operation of these complexes. It also suggested that local individuals would be employed in these complexes, ensuring local communities benefit through job opportunities and new forms of tax, such as gaming and gambling tax from the complexes.

 

Entertainment complex

 

Julapun explained that these complexes would not only house casinos but also feature hotels, shopping malls, and amusement parks, and would require a minimum investment of 100 billion baht.

The study proposed that the inaugural entertainment complex should be launched near the Eastern Economic Corridor. If successful, similar complexes would be introduced in other regions.

The House committee also looked into successful regulation measures based on models from Singapore and the US to prevent potential problems in these complexes. A portion of the revenue from these complexes would be allocated to a fund designed to support measures to assist those affected and prevent excessive gambling.

 

Julapun added that the study would be submitted to the cabinet for consideration following its approval by the House. The Cabinet might seek additional feedback from all sectors before deciding on the study’s recommendations.

 

“If a bill regarding the opening of the complexes is tabled to parliament, details will be discussed again.”

 

Chakkrapol Tangsutthitham, the deputy chairman of the House committee, anticipates the bill regarding the opening of the complexes to be enacted by the end of the year.

 

However, representatives from civil networks across 16 provinces expressed their concerns by submitting a letter of protest against the entertainment complexes to the House committee. They highlighted potential issues that may arise, such as family problems, debts, and gambling addiction.

Legalized gambling, a vice in a country

that blurs out smoking, alcohol bottles, & weapons on TV& censors movies , restricts alcohol sales and is possibly going to cancel recreational pot !

I cant see it happening here.
