Opinion: Migrant workers are not just a dispensable economic cog but living, breathing humans

Although Thailand relies on the labor of these migrant workers to keep our country running, it constantly ignores their existence while also denying them rights to labor protection, safety, and health.

So do something.

The system creates this dehumanization.   Like in America, people come in illegally, work for nothing, abused, raped, killed, and it's because the system won't allow them to come in any other way.  The system calls them "illegals" for a reason, to make them less of a human.  You want to change things?  Bring them in legally, pay them properly, and get them all the necessary paperwork. Why not?  money is made and they have leverage over these workers if they step out of line.  Power and money....that's not going away soon.  

What i dont get is why are migrants coming to work in Thailand, with Thai people starving surely Thais must be able to do anything, any job to make ends meet

They (mostly Burmese) willingly -and knowingly- break this country's immigration and sanitation laws, and expose others to the deadly viruses they carry. This disrupts the economy  and so negates their 'cog' effect. It ruins Thailand's reputation, their host nation, which has been admirable when it comes to Pandemic control ! We were nearly out of the worst, and now it starts again.

The people/the system Made the migrant workers that way ,they know that the Poor migrants will work for SFA and the people who employ them abuse that.The Government should let them work Legally on a Minimum wage the same as the minimum wage for Thais . Down here there are not many Thais working as Labourers in the building industry they don't like working ,the ones that are there are mostly Foreman and Bludgers.

You seem like just the kind of person who will benefit from an investment I can share with you. But you have to invest quickly before other people know my secret.
