Non-racists don't count the number of different colour faces.

Seems you are, perhaps you should drop it.....????

That's not true. The reason they don't want to count them is because the numbers don't look good for them. "Colour blind" aka "not counting colour" is also a dog whistle for anti affirmative action.

So why doesn't ASEAN have a fee labour movement , where Burmese and Laotians can just walk across the border into Thailand  and get a job ?

   Why do Thailand require Burmese to get a work permit and visa ?

Why doesn't Singapore allow ASEAN Country members to work their without work visas ?

All those countries have adequate unskilled and low skilled labour forces so don't need to import labour. Singapore is an exception but it is very easy for Malaysians to work in Singapore.

Well, that answers your question then doesn't it? They do, at least informally.

 

The difference though is that it isn't only the UK that needs foreign workers in Europe. In Asia, it is literally Singapore and Thailand.

Comparing the (let’s be kind here) ‘developing economies’ of SE Asia with the developed nations of Europe is false equivalence nonsense.

USA-CANADA-Mexico have a trade a agreement 

Why doesn't the USA let Mexican workers into the USA to work freely without a visa ?

Yes, but whether any Country needs foreign workers or not isn't the issue 

The issue is whether foreign workers should be allowed to enter Countries and work without any kind of permission or visa .

yes, that's always been the case. Even during operation "wetback" when Eisenhower chucked over half a million out.

Only citizens of Canada and Mexico are eligible for a nonimmigrant North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Professional visa to work in the U.S. The NAFTA Professional visa classification is TN and grants the holder temporary entry into the U.S. to work in business activities at a professional level for an initial period of up to three years.

That doesnt make any sense . 

You are saying that Mexicans can go and work and live in the USA without a visa or anything , then you give a 70 year old example of when  Mexicans were deported en masse from the USA

Because processes and procedures need to be developed. What works for the EU single market might not be applicable elsewhere.

Its because in both/all cases , cheap foreign labour floods the labour market and there's an endless supply of people willing to work  for a pittance and without conforming to employment rules .

   Its great for big business with cheap imported workers, but not too good for the native labour force , hence why many Labour voters voted for Brexit

The point of my example was that even during concerted GOP efforts to remove immigrants, Republican farmers were still smuggling them back in and continuing to employ them. My post said "it has always been the case" It did not say this was only the case at one time 70 years ago.
