Ultimatetimes Tv has learnt that the Thailand government has gives final warning to blacks in the country. The government of Thailand blamed Nigerians and Ugandans for various crimes that are being committed on daily basis in the country.
Orsu24news had reported that Thailand Immigration enforcement agency had embarked on investigation to regulate and checkmate foreigners in the country, especially Nigerians.
The Authorities arrested more than 1,000 suspected visa violators in recent weeks under an operation called “X-Ray Outlaw Foreigners” that was originally launched in 2017 but has intensified, the Independent Online reported on Sunday.
“The suspicious targets are the dark-skinned people. First, we search their bodies, then we search their passports,” an official stated at meeting before sending out about 75 officers on an evening round-up of more suspects.
This all sounds a lot like President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda, which views immigrants from countries across Africa, Hait and Latin America (places he referred to as sh**hole countries) as less desirable than those from Norway.
Millions of tourists flock to Thailand to vacation or partake in the country’s illicit sex industry. Others travel there on visas as refugees or asylum seekers.
“Our job is to classify who are the good dark skinned people and who are the ones likely to commit crimes,” immigration bureau chief Surachate Hakparn, said.
One primary target is a group of people who overstay their visas to commit fraud. Hakpar pointed mainly to the so-called “romance scammers” who are accused of faking romantic interest in local women with the intent of defrauding them of their money.
He blamed Nigerians and Ugandans of specializing in romance scams. Refugee and asylum seekers passing through Thailand to a third country are also targets
of the police crackdown, according to human rights groups.
“Thailand’s immigration crackdown has swep up refugees and asylum seekers, sent young children into horrid, prison-like conditions, and appears to have clear aspects of racial profiling against South Asians and Africans,” said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch.
This comes as another group of Central American migrants journeys toward the United States. It’s unclear if Trump will unleash another crackdown in his “zero
tolerance” policy against anyone caught crossing the border illegally into the United States, including those who are seeking asylum. Under the policy, the U.S.
government has separated families.
