[Trump administration aims to end Dreamers immigration program in six months]

Notice they cynically don't want the PR disaster of the optics of mass deportations of dreamers before election day. 

This policy is simply mean. 

The majority of Americans want a path to citizenship for the dreamers. 

We do??? By letting this continue there is no deterrent for illegals coming in bringing their children. The only way to legal immigration/citizenship should be going through the proper channels like most people. You can debate it all you want but this is the right way, I am very impressed with Thailand‘s immigration policies, very simple and straightforward and if you don’t follow the rules you’re out of here. They are a perfect example of what immigration should be.

[Thai Wife Stuck in US on US Passport, Wants Thai Passport]

2 hours ago, Moonfire said:

If you are Thai, you need to leave Thailand on a Thai passport (when you say you left it in Thailand is the first red flag about your post). Reason when your wife returns to Thailand she would enter on the same Thai passport she exited with, which will also have her departure card with it. 

A Thai entering the Kingdom on a US passport, means she will have to follow the immigration rules that apply to the US passport and this is where the problems start.

It is a must leave on a Thai passport from Thailand, enter the US on the US passport, exit the US on the US passport, re-enter Thailand on the Thai passport that was used to exit Thailand at the start. 

 

You want the Thai embassy to issue you a new Thai passport when you have NO exit stamp or departure card from the Thai passport you used to leave Thailand at the beginning. 

 

Yes, you have a issue!

Yuk. How creepy could you possibly get. maybe it's your type that should go back home, coming here and taking advantage of poor women, or 'girls' as you refer to them, not really something you should be boasting about. You should be ashamed, or at least keep it to yourself, dude.

And I am sure you are completely innocent and never ever ever done something so disgusting or maybe you just like boys. Vagina, yukky!!!

[What happens if a farang retiree dies in Thailand ?]

This reminds me of when my friend cigar Bob died here in pattaya back in 2010. He was an American and had a Thai girlfriend who had an older daughter living with them. First the police come to investigate and looked for money or valuables. I was called to the scene and the cops had me reach my hand into his pocket and there was a big bag of Coke. I heard the crinkle crinkle and put it back in his pocket and the cop said what is that, show it to me, I pulled it out and put it on his chest and told the cop to arrest him. It actually was pretty funny to see the cops face and the anger and disappointment that he couldn’t make big money on it. Anyway to answer the OP, first the cops are called, second the embassy is notified called and they lock up the condo or home and if your girlfriend is not on the lease or the mortgage they tell them to take their personal belongings and to get out until the family sorts everything out. It basically is a big mess. So the moral of the story is to always be prepared not to make a large burden on your family or friends.

Are you really gonna blame a whole country for one person who treated him badly? There are good and bad people in every culture and country. In life you need to be aware of predators that prey on the weak and naïve.

 

It really shows how dumb men are with the large amounts of sin sod given, especially to tattoo ridden multi child whores, the large monthly allowances handed out, and sending money up country to take care of a family that in most cases are younger than you. I have been living in Thailand for over 20 years and I still find it funny and shocking but not really surprised about the guys coming to Thailand and hooking up with hookers and marrying them. Night in shining armor syndrome. Rule of thumb trash is trash no matter how pretty it is. It’s the way they think. Stop believing all the sad stories they tell you. You would be really surprised on all the opportunities they have such as student loans and the many government programs that Thailand provides. Wake up already there is no excuses anymore with the internet and all the millions of blog sites out there on the subject.

First Thailand has a population of 69 mil and secondly the corona virus numbers are way more than what they are showing. They are testing around 500 a day with 10% infected. The USA is testing 10s of thousands a day. All countries are supposed to show real data but if you don’t have the test kits than you can’t test.

My wife and I just went through swampy arriving from USA and no one screened us. Didn’t even see anyone screening anyone.

And when you ask the immigration officer for something to clean it with, they look like a deer in headlights.
