The Fight Continues As 169 Illegal Immigrants Are Rounded-up

The fight against the constant influx of illegal foreign workers into the Eastern Seaboard continues on a daily basis. We now have two cases where Police have rounded –up these illegal immigrants, most of which come to Thailand in search of a better life.

The first case comes from Banglamung Police Station who cooperated with Immigration Police and Region 2 Police to arrest a total of 120 Cambodian and Burmese Nationals who were seen working on a construction site in Soi Siam Country Club. At the time of their arrest each arrestee was unable to produce a passport or work permit; however some did mention that they did possess the correct documentation which will be produced shortly. The rest will be deported back to their respective countries at the earliest opportunity.
