Thailand is cracking down on migrant workers from neighboring countries, saying they are 'stealing jobs from Thais.' This comes amid fears that anti-immigrant sentiment is rising, as Southeast Asia's second-largest economy stagnates.

Last month, the Thai labor department led a raid targeting Vietnamese workers in fresh produce markets in Bangkok. People from Cambodia and Myanmar have also been nabbed in the raids. Rights groups see growing animosity toward immigrants in Thailand, mirroring similar trends elsewhere in the world.
