Leaky border poses riskThe alarming report of new Covid-19 variants found in a construction worker camp in Bangkok and in the deep South again shed light on the problem of illegal migration. The two variants may have carried into the country by illegal migrants.

Unfortunately, those illegal migrants may be just the tip of the iceberg. Many illegal migrants were arrested.
