Thai restaurant owner pleads guilty to immigration fraud

October 25th, 2009

Handcuffed and going to jail

Update on earlier news about the owner of the Thai Ginger restaurant in Seattle who has pleaded guilty to immigration fraud. This stuff goes on a lot in America. I know when I was there and first starting working at a Thai restaurant the owners were doing all sorts of scams on Thai people who were new to the country. They were also trying to arrange marriages for their workers.

They would make money on arranging the marriage and then still pay their workers really cheap. I thought it was awful but at the time I did not know it was illegal or if anybody could do anything about it. I guess the owner of the Thai Ginger restaurant had the same kind of operation going on.

    The Us makes it so difficult to have a foreign GF/BF. This owner could have become an asset as thousands of US citizens would be glad to have a marriage with out going to Thailand.
    Best of all they would have the advantage of being in the US.
    I myself find the immigration laws to be an affront against the US citizen with the requirement of “quickie” marriages. Before you really know each others agenda,cultural conditioning,and expectations.

    Hot photo, Ms. AS. Fits your story pretty well – was it found with your source, or did you come across it in your other net meanderings?

    Sad story. On any scale, humans can be so inhumane to one another.

    No, the photo wasn’t from the news story. The news story had a photo of a very sad looking Thai woman who is the owner of the restaurant.

    But Vasha making people get married just so they could profit is surely wrong.

    Taking advantage of your fellow country man is not Thailand specific. It happens in every country. The U.S., Mexico, everywhere. Look at the financial district in the U.S., look at Enron, look at all those big wig stock brokers. These people should be held accountable for their actions, but even Obama doesn’t seem to mind. The U.S. has gone down hill since JFK and now it’s running full speed out. This lady in Seattle should be at least commended for making a few American men happy.
