Burmese Immigration

Currently, there is serious tention between Thailand and Burma in term of mass influx of Burmese immigratns into Thailand, even though Thailand is the largest trading partner.

Closure of Thai-Burmese borders might be closed, because the securituy there is very fragile. Thai rangeron the borders got killed on March 21 in a grenade explosion, which proved the security there is problematic. A Thailand's immigration office that is away from only 50 meters was broken too. The area is also near conflict zone between the Burmese government and the Shan State Army (SSA).

Burmese immigrants can come to neighbering relatively developed countries. The way they come to those countries might be SMUGGLING. Thailand, Chiang Rai, is planning the Royal Flora Expo. There was an event that the local police intercepted a caravan of 10 vans taking almost 100 illegal Burmese immigrants to Chiang Mai. Accoringt to the resource that I picked up, they tend to work on construction sites and in factories.

4,000 baht makes drivers to "pick up the aliens at Mae Sai district and take them to the expo."
Some of the arrested Burmese claimed to have paid 4,000 baht each for the week-long tour to Chiang Mai. Illegal immigratns are only to be detained and deported.

However, people such as Burmese immigratns going to Thailands might support your county a lot.
