Expats and Retirees Excluded in Thailand's Citizenship Grants
Thailand is addressing the plight of stateless immigrants from neighbouring countries, with a new policy to grant citizenship to 483,000 such individuals. However, this initiative does not extend to western expats or retirees. The Ministry of the Interior clarified that this effort is aimed at people from Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia who have lived in Thailand for decades, often statelessly, writes Barry Kanyon for Pattaya Mail. There had been some confusion, leading expats, particularly retirees from the UK and USA, to inquire about possible benefits for themselves. Some wrongly assumed it related to taxation on overseas income brought into Thailand. Nonetheless, this policy strictly targets immigrants and ethnic minorities who have long been residing in Thailand without a defined status. Ms Trisulee Traisanakul, secretary to the interior ministry, stated that most of those eligible are from Myanmar or stateless individuals from disputed border regions. The objective is to grant them a proper legal status, which in turn should stimulate the economy and allow these groups to work legally. Thailand is experiencing a demographic challenge with a dropping birth rate and an increasing elderly population. By 2074, the native population could halve to around 30 million. The policy, therefore, also aims to address this fertility crisis by increasing the working-age population. The Department of Provincial Administration has undertaken research on these immigrant groups, and the citizenship application process may include self-certification where necessary. Gaining Thai citizenship offers rights such as voting in elections and land ownership. The citizenship eligibility for westerners generally requires permanent resident status, based on a solid history of legal employment or significant contributions to Thai society. However, addressing the stateless immigrant issue has been a governmental focus and is now being actively pursued. -- 2024-11-02 -

The World's Greatest Troll- I give you Trump
This time Trump has really committed a crime in plain sight for recommending that someone shoot nine guns at Liz Cheny. Freedom of speech and the First Amendment have been eliminated as a defense for Donald Trump. 18 U.S.C. § 373 is the felony Trump has committed https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/11/1/2281590/-Trump-Just-Committed-A-Felony-18-U-S-C-373?pm_campaign=front_page&pm_source=trending&pm_medium=web -

2500 fraudulent voter registration being investigated!
“Asked about the Pennsylvania and Arizona investigations, Heredia said the company trains workers to fill out forms accurately. When asked about the characterization of some submitted forms as fraudulent, Heredia said Field+Media Corps has a zero tolerance policy for workers who submit fraudulent forms”. So reassuring, not! -

2500 fraudulent voter registration being investigated!
I hope whoever did it goes down but it isn't a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater, the system is working. Again, nothing to do with mail in voting. What's your solution, no more elections? What would you change to fix this problem? “The counties’ process to flag and investigate these potentially fraudulent voter registration applications show the safeguards built into our election system are working,” Department of State spokesperson Geoff Morrow said. -

“Two Pennsylvania counties have identified an Arizona-based company as the source of thousands of last-minute voter registration applications that they are investigating. The company, Field+Media Corps, which conducts voter registration and outreach programs, is run by Francisco Heredia, a Mesa councilman and a longtime voting activist in Arizona”. https://www.wesa.fm/politics-government/2024-11-01/pennsylvania-suspicious-voter-registration-forms-arizona field & media clients
