  • 27 FEBRUARY 2008 -- MAE SOT, TAK, THAILAND: Thai soldiers on the Thai side of the border talk to Burmese cigarette smugglers on the Burmese side of the border along the Thai - Myanmar (Burma) border in Mae Sot, Thailand. Thai authority ends at the metal railing separating the men and Burmese smugglers line up along the rail to sell cigarettes and liquor to people on the Thai side of the rail. There are millions of Burmese migrant workers and refugees living in Thailand. Many live in refugee camps along the Thai-Burma (Myanmar) border, but most live in Thailand as illegal immigrants. They don't have papers and can not live, work or travel in Thailand but they do so "under the radar" by either avoiding Thai officials or paying bribes to stay in the country. Most have fled political persecution in Burma but many are simply in search of a better life and greater economic opportunity.  Photo by Jack Kurtz

  • 05 MAY 2003 -- SELLS, AZ:  A group of 11 undocumented immigrants from Mexico wait for the Border Patrol in the back of a mini-van west of Sells, AZ, the capital of Tohono OOdham Indian Reservation, May 5, 2003. The van was stopped for a traffic violation by the tribal police, who found the immigrants hiding in the van. The driver of the van was arrested for driving without a license, no insurance and having false license plates. The Tohono O'Odham reservation covers a vast expanse of Southern Arizona and has a 70 mile border with Mexico. In recent years the reservation has been flooded with undocumented immigrants who pass through the reservation on their way north to Phoenix, AZ, and other cities in the US. About 1,500 undocumented immigrants, most from Mexico, cross the reservation, which has more land than the state of Delaware,  every day. According to the tribal government, the tribal police department spends about 60 percent of its resources dealing with crime created by the undocumented immigrants. Many times tribal police officers have to wait hours for the US Border Patrol to respond to calls to pick up undocumented immigrants. The officer waited for more than an hour for Border Patrol to arrive on the scene and eventually released the immigrants. Border Patrol arrived minutes later and apprehended all of the immigrants.

The immigrants then go back to their homes in Mexico or into Nogales to make another effort at crossing the border. Volunteers said they help between 600 and 1,000 immigrants per day. The program costs about .60¢ per person to operate. So far this year they've helped more than 130,000 people.  Photo by Jack Kurtz

More than 200,000 Cambodian migrant workers, most undocumented, fled Thailand in early June fearing a crackdown by Thai authorities after a coup unseated the elected government. Employers have been unable to fill the vacancies created by the Cambodian exodus and the Thai government has allowed them to return. The Cambodian workers have to have a job and their employers have to vouch for them. The Thai government is issuing temporary ID cards to allow them to travel openly to their jobs.

  • 19 FEBRUARY 2008 -- SANGKLABURI, KANCHANABURI, THAILAND: The Thai-Burma border at Three Pagodas Pass a few miles from Sangklaburi, Thailand, near the Baan Unrak Children's Home. The border has officially been closed since October 2007 because of political violence in Burma, but the border near Sangklaburi is very porous and hundreds of Burmese have crossed into Thailand near here in recent months.  Baan Unrak children’s home and school, established in 1991 in Sangklaburi, Thailand, gives destitute children and mothers a home and career training for a better future. Baan Unrak, the “Home of Joy,” provides basic needs to well over 100 children, and  abandoned mothers. The home is funded by donations and the proceeds from the weaving and sewing shops at the home. The home is a few kilometers from the Burmese border. All of the women and children at the home are refugees from political violence and extreme poverty in Burma, most are Karen hill tribe people, the others are Mon hill tribe people. The home was started in 1991 when Didi Devamala went to Sangklaburi to start an agricultural project. An abandoned wife asked Devmala to help her take care of her child. Devmala took the child in and soon other Burmese women approached her looking for help.    Photo by Jack Kurtz

The driver of the truck was stopped by a Tohono OOdham tribal police officer for speeding on AZ 86 east of Sells, AZ, the capital of Tohono OOdham Indian Reservation, May 5, 2003. The Tohono OOdham reservation covers a vast expanse of Southern Arizona and has a 70 mile border with Mexico.

  • 20 MAY 2013 - MAE KASA, TAK, THAILAND:  Burmese patients in the outpatient waiting room at the SMRU clinic in Mae Kasa, Thailand. Every patient who comes into the clinic is tested for malaria. The clinic is less than 50 meters from the Thai-Burma border and sees only Burmese patients. Thais go to Thai government hospitals. Health professionals are seeing increasing evidence of malaria resistant to artemisinin coming out of the jungles of Southeast Asia. Artemisinin has been the first choice for battling malaria in Southeast Asia for 20 years. In recent years though,  health care workers in Cambodia and Myanmar (Burma) are seeing signs that the malaria parasite is becoming resistant to artemisinin. Scientists who study malaria are concerned that history could repeat itself because chloroquine, an effective malaria treatment until the 1990s, first lost its effectiveness in Cambodia and Burma before spreading to Africa, which led to a spike in deaths there. Doctors at the Shaklo Malaria Research Unit (SMRU), which studies malaria along the Thai Burma border, are worried that artemisinin resistance is growing at a rapid pace. Dr. Aung Pyae Phyo, a Burmese physician at a SMRU clinic just a few meters from the Burmese border, said that in 2009, 90 percent of patients were cured with artemisinin, but in 2010, it dropped to about 70 percent and is now between 55 and 60 percent. He said the concern is that as it becomes more difficult to clear the parasite from a patient, progress that has been made in combating malaria will be lost and the disease could make a comeback in Southeast Asia.
