When will they track down the employers who arrange this illegal importation of this cheap labour. They are not only breaking many Thai laws but also endangering the lives of these Burmese and risking another covid outbreak. The real criminals are the cheap employers and they should be charged and jailed and fined

I wonder if the Burmese will get a refund?

[Jason]

These got caught I wonder how many Entered that were not caught,
