Still! If legislation consistently causes a far lower number of bad

That there might be lower numbers of bad incidents does not prove it
was caused by legislation.

Sure, correlation is not causation.  However, it is a storng indicator

incidents because an "anti-causation" would break correlation.

Thailand solved the problem of illegal workers.

The law says that someone that  hires illegal workers or assign legal
workers to unauthorized jobs. face fines of 10,000 to 100,000 baht per
worker. Repeat offenders risk up to a year in prison,

In current terms 10,000 baht, in Thailand, amounts to about 27 days at
minimum salary rates.

Needless to say there are few illegal workers here, which in turn
means that unemployment rates are very low.
