We have some seriously fucked up immigration and Visa laws.

While politicians play political games with the topic, people suffer.

The father should consider taking him to Canada - I would bet my house that they wouldn't stop a mother from holding the hand and kissing goodbye to her infant son.

However, my guess is that Trump will be advised of a great photo op - and hey presto !!

Americans (the father is an American), can't just show up in Canada with their dying children, and ask for medical care. It doesn't work that way. Maybe Trudeau could make some sort of exception and call they refugees, but Canada has it's own problem with immigration.

You're telling CannyDC about Canada.

You do know that Canny is short for Canada?

It's a sanctions issue over war and regime change.

The Yemeni mother of a dying boy in California is being prevented from seeing him due to a US ban on visitors from her country, the family says.

Just like the starving children in Yemen, this poor youngster means nothing to the US war machine.

Thais are Thai. I will always be farang.

And again you post stuff you either haven't checked or deliberately intend to mislead.

Thailand will hold a general election on Feb. 24 2019, the Election Commission said on Tuesday.

Political parties will be able to start campaigning in early January.

As you say you are choosing to live in a racist country
Whereas when Thais emigrate to Australia, they become Aussies.

So have you changed your mind about these folk being British, Dungle?

There are certain groups of people who migrate here who like our way of like and want to become British. They make an effort to fit in and aren’t trying to change our society

There are other groups who come here who clearly don’t like the way things are

They don’t like our food so they want us all to change to their ways

They don’t like our schools so they start their own

They don’t like our clothes so the wear other stuff



They don’t like our laws so they try to change them

Errr - no they don't. They remain ever Thai, and usually you will find a picture of the Thai king in their home.

As for them being racist, my informed guess is that you haven't been there - otherwise you would have known you were just parading your ignorance again.

Wrong again.
I was just quoting you.
In Thailand - you said you will always be a foreigner
And as a foreigner there are loads of restrictions on what you can and cannot do
That's racism - discrimination against you purely because of your race.

You've obviously never socialised with a Thai family that's emigrated either
Thai's in Sydney live just the same as anyone else
OK, they may have some photos or buddhist statues - but that's no different to anyone else who has migrated and has pics from their homeland displayed

In any social or work situation, Thais act speak and behave just like any other Aussies.
And - not that it matters - but I have been to Thailand many many times.

Of course you have, Bungle. And if you had, you would have known about the specific picture I am referring to. The one found in every home, business or restaurant in Thailand, and on the wall of every Thai person's home be it in Australia, UK or any other country.

On another point, your use of the 'R' word is at best misplaced, at worst wilfully ignorant. Placing certain restrictions on ALL foreigners isn't racist. How can it be ? Racism is defined as "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior." Thai restrictions apply to other Asians too, from bordering nations as well as others from further afield. I could accept protectionist, but the fact that (for instance) no foreigners are allowed to work in Thailand covers all races so cannot possibly be racism.
