Myanmar children watch refugees prepare to be repatriated to the United
States at Ban Tham Hin camp, 10 kilometres from the Myanmar border in
Thailand February 8, 2002. In an ongoing program to repatriate
Myanmar's refugees to other nations, 24 refugees from Myanmar left the
camp today after the United States offered to take them following
interviews with American immigration officials. Thailand, with at least
a million illegal immigrants from its poorer neighbours, is set to
launch a nationwide crackdown on undocumented foreign labourers
