According to the commander of the Border Guard Command of Tay Ninh, Colonel LeHong Vuong, the large number of returnees forced the border guard force to workround the clock to handle procedures.
Vuong added that most the labourers do not have proper identificationcards, so the border guards at Moc Bai border gate and Tay Ninh authoritieshave to verify their identity before allowing them to return to their homeprovince.
The officer said Cambodia is intensifying inspections of labourers, so manyemployers have released their illegal employees to avoid punishment, addingthat the majority of returning labourers sought jobs on social media and then enteredCambodia illegally to work at casinos. Only a small number of workers werelegally employed./.
