Hmong migrants repatriated from Thailand
A group of 10 Hmong families, totalling 57 people, arrived in
Vientiane yesterday after spending years suffering in a detention camp
in Thailand 's Phetchabun province.
After arriving at about 2pm, the illegal migrants, many of whom are
school-aged children, immediately departed Vientiane for Borikhamxay
province where they will be temporarily accommodated in a reception
camp.
During their stay in the camp, officials will determine their village
of origin so they can be returned home and will also educate them on
how to avoid falling victim to people smugglers in the future.
Most of yesterday's returnees departed Laos in 2004 after being told
they could travel to the United States via Thailand .
Lured by the hope of a better life, the victims paid large amounts of
money to people smugglers, with many selling all their belongings to
make the journey.
The Lao and Thai governments have worked together to repatriate the
victims, and since 2006 more than 3,000 illegal migrants have returned
to their hometowns, according to the Lao-Thai General Border-Sub-
Committee.
At present, about 4,000 illegal migrants remain at the camp in
Thailand and the Lao government is ready to welcome them home at any
time, according to a government source.
Those returnees who still own land and houses are repatriated to their
hometown, while those who are homeless are resettled by the
government.
The government has set up resettlement villages with farming plots and
other basic facilities including schools for the returnees and their
children.
In Phalak, a resettlement village located in Kasy district, Vientiane
province, the government has allocated farming plots, built irrigation
systems, a school, roads, electricity networks and gravity-fed water
systems for returning migrants.
The government also provides initial resettlement assistance such as
rice, some financing and other forms of aid to help returnees to
resume normal lives.

They volunteer to go back or force to go back will be good for them
because their children will get education and they will freely to make
a living. I hope to visit them in Lao soon, specially to see the young
beautiful girls.

DKJ,
Post some LPDR Hookers too. Not just the Hmong Returning. 57 Hmong
Returning got to go in the web while 40,000 Laotian Hookers do not.
That curse will be with you, Mr. Deal Killer Job. Your camara Flash
liket will turn into gun powder flash lihgt if you do not stopp
harassing the Hmong Returning. That's almost happened during our Hmong
MN Sunshine Dance Group performed at Vientiane Last December.

Dony,
Look at these naive misled hmong people who will be getting recovery
very soon

Thanks for letting us know, however, the article and the pictures of
labeling Illegal Immigrant were dishardening my heart...we need to
soften our words of spoken because these people are coming back home.
I was believing that communist and vietnamese people were the sweetest
talker who would extend their hands and hearts to reach out to the
Patikan and call them brothers and sisters. Why don't you be that
nice as we/you were being taught at seminar/re-education camps.
These would help our younger generation, who does not take side. At
last, they are home, and there is nothing better than home. So,
please take good care of them, in building a stronger relationship
among our young Laonork.
Thanks,

You are absolutely right... They were illegal migrants in Thailand but
as soon as they came back home, they are common citizen like you and
me since they did not offended any Lao Laws. they were arrested and
detented in Thailand because they offended the Immigration Laws of the
Kingdom of Thailand.
I think that DKJ uses this word appropriately because when they
volunteered to come back, they were still detented and considered as
Illegal Migrants.
As soon as they reached home, they regain their dignity and we are
doing everything to make them feel good as you may noticed in the
pictures.
But most important, they will be sent back to their "Home" and their
family.

Thank you for the explaination, however this article (such that you
may have no control over) but those pictures are taken in Laos soil,
am I corrected? For that reason that you have controlled over, we
would love that they are done correctly in the future because words
can be very missed leading and devastating. By labeling your own
citizens (country men) who are returning back home that would tell so
much about your hatred against...!
Thanks,

They are Illegal Migrants who are being rapatriated home. They are not
welcomed home as Heroes because they are not Heroes. We do not wish to
send out wrong message to others who may commit the same error. They
cost a lot of money and energy to everybody and they also caused a lot
of trouble to Laos and Thailand. Have you ever imagine that I had a
lot of problem to convince some families to take them back in their
own family.
So, as of today, every thing went smoothly and let us do our work to
complete it in the best way. This Win-Win solution is good enough to
create more.

The label by the Thai government for these people as illegal migrants
was corrected, because these Lao people had entered Thai territory
without legal documentation. And, I won’t want to drill into any
debate among us, however the pictures that post by DKJ were labeling
every picture as Illegal Hmong Return Home—that was I want to point
out that we can do better than that in the future...
Believe it or not, many of the families would not want to take them
back, not because they don’t want to have their family members or
relatives back home; but the fear of reprisal from your government.
Both you and I understood this clearly from the bottom of our hearts
that is why I have asked you and DKJ to soften the labeling and
words. Even I am here in the US, with those words and labels as I had
saw--I can still feel the chill into my bones.
Thanks, for taking good care of your countrymen back home and that has
led to lots of warmer heart feels for our Laonork...and I'm credit you
and your government for taking this initiative.
Thanks,

It's as close as anyone can get to an official government public
acknowledgment of a simple fact: A country who calls its own citizens,
"illegal Hmong" is a reflection of the Hammer and Sickel philosophy it
still holds dear.
A country that view it's citizens as "these naive misled Hmong people"
clearly is accepting the fact that Laos INDEED have, not only a people
trafficking problem (from within and among Laotians), but a national
problem where its citizens are "naive" as well as easily "misled", or
just by being "Hmong" in the first place!
Think about it, if you were "Lao", educated, employed for life in the
one-party authoritarian government of the Hammer and Sickle, and
otherwise above the law in Laos...your chance of crossing the Lao
border and becoming "illegal Hmong" in Thailand will be...Zero.
Thus, Laos has a problem...but Yong will tell you something different,
if anything at all. Or his usual position, outright denial.

bring them to Laos. You are the one that rally them to go back to your
country so that you can place then back to chicken pens for your thugs
to harrass any way as they wishes. They have asked you to set them
free so they can settle in third countries. If one freedom, justice,
human right are taken away, off course no one wants to go back. By
the way, the cost of taking these refugees back to Laos are given by
Thai government to cover transportation and building Ban Pha Lak
refugee camps.

I will tell you the following story: In 2008, I brought a group of
Hmong Illegal Migrants back to their families in Louang Prabang, I
requested the Dignatories and Leaders of the Hmong Community at Khoua
Thi Song, Louang Prabang district to come over to the ceremony to
welcome them back home.
The Seniors told me the following: Why do you ask us, the Leaders and
Dignatories (the good peoples= ຫົວໜ້າ ສີ່ງຊ່າວ ທີເປັນເຖົ້າແກ່ແນວໂຮມ
ແລະເປັນຄົນດີທີ່ສຸດ ຂອງ ບ້ານ) to go there and welcome them who had
committed a wrongdoing or in Lao ຄົນບໍ່ດີ ກະທຳພິດ. The right thing to
do is: they should come and beg us for apology for having committed
bad things by dragging their children in this adventure and causing
tremendous sufferings to their children and kept them out out-of-
scholl for years?
Hopefully, I succe3eded in convincing them and you can see all of them
in the following pictures

Just to tell you that it is not simple.

Remembered that I have given you the credit for all that you had done
and continuing to be doing.
I believe that these Hmong leaders in Louang Prabang district were
right about what they were saying. Wise leaders would know exactly
what to say and when to say, in fear of the government retribution—
because most of heat decision-makings were from the head (since you
were from above and have assured their safety and shelters—they would
do it. Again, most of these vacillations were in fear of reprisal
from the central government). Have you ever have feelings or thoughts
of those prominent leaders throughout the country have these types of
fear about the central government’s reprisal against them that were
the very reasons that they hesitated to raise up their heads as you
had done, or by cutting their lives short? Remembered even Dignitaries
and leaders in the communities can still have these types of terror,
and then there must be something secretly hidden behind the sense from
the central government itself.
However, these people are Lao citizens and its countrymen, and I too
believe that the communist people were the nicest and sweetest
talkers, their first impression when meet they would call every
stranger as their very own brothers/sisters or uncles and aunts. Why
would these leaders do the same as you stated above, to make these
returning countrymen feel like home?
At last, I want to take this opportunity to thanks you and your
bravery to bring about these changes. I sincerely hope that it marks a
new beginning for both Laonai and Laonork…with the understanding and
careful consideration of each step we make and the words we will be
using upon our fellow brothers and sisters.
Thanks for your very kind reply,
Born2beHmong
