Give me a break.

Somebody who isn't capable of finding a legal way to stay in Thailand is hardly going to be someone who will provide a good life for a family.

Do you measure a 'good life' in financial units?

No I judge a 'good life' by the ability to do the things I like while remaining within the law.

O.k.,

We might want to be so quik to judge someone who just wants to look after his family.

What is more important? Following wrong and bad laws ?

the person in question just wants to stay with his family and not be forced to split apart.

How can one stay when he has maxed out his tourist visa options and cannot obtain a non immigrant? He is being forced to split apart his family.

Oh, what a lovely vintage whine. Sad that so many are so interested in what governments and societies owe to them, and so few are interested in what they owe to societies and governments such as obedience to reasonable laws.
