BANGKOK (NNT) - The prime minister of Thailand has ordered security agencies to monitor transborder smuggling and human trafficking ahead of the ‘country reopening’ on November 1, saying that laws will be strictly enforced on offenders.

 

After a meeting of the Defense Council, chaired by Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha, Ministry of Defense Deputy Spokesperson Col. Wanchana Sawasdee said the prime minister ordered the armed forces and the police to support the safe reopening of the country, as well as to guard against illegal entry and punish individuals who had involvement with human trafficking.

 

Defence Ministry spokesman Gen. Kongcheep Tantrawanich explained that intelligence units expect some issues stemming from members of minority groups in Myanmar attempting illegal entry into Thailand after the rainy season ends. He said the prime minister has therefore ordered the monitoring of illegal entry along land and water passageways that line Thailand’s western border.

 

Border patrol activity is being ramped up in accordance with the prime minister’s call and more synergy in intelligence work will be pursued among relevant agencies. However, authorities have been told to remain cautious of the eastern border, where illegal entries were still being made by migrant workers.

 

Gen. Kongcheep said the monitoring of Rohingya people was also needed, as Thai and Myanmar smugglers and officials have previously been involved in human trafficking.

You mean they don’t do this as a matter of course? It’s their job after all.

Ironically, illegal entries may exceed legal entries in 2022.

Security agencies told to carefully guard against illegal entry at border

Don't forget to tell them again next week

[internationalism]

there are over 100 daily arrests of illegal border immigrants, most on the border, some later on in their abodes, workplaces.

So the true scale is thousands per day entering without being apprehended.

As many leave thailand back to their country or enter from burma and exit to malaysia.

So I don't see a relation between thailand opening and illegal migration.

As most of those involved in guarding the border, profit from the entry of migrants there will be a token response from the corrupt Muppets.

More hot air from Too.

Presumably the border officials didn't get the memo till after taking their money and letting them through.
