Polls say No! to Gov’t granting amnesty to 20,000 illegal immigrants

Thursday night’s question on the proposed amnesty for twenty thousand immigrants drew plenty responses on our blog. Seventy-five percent said no to government’s decision to grant permanent residency status to the illegal immigrants residing in Belize while twenty-five percent did not have a problem with the amnesty programme. One of our viewers noted that “our infrastructure is already stretched to the limit and in some cases cannot handle the present population.”

    First of all! we have to Know what these immigrants are bring to the table. We need our country to grow and meet the challenges and demands of other Caribbean countries and our neighbors that is more advance in every way than us. Lets move Belize forward we’ve been dwelling too long in the past, We don’t have in off for our own people . So lets start with helping our own first. No disrespect but that the way if should be and not for political purposes.

    I like Cali’s point. We’ve had many social issues with immigrants in the past and it’s not getting any better. The same way the USA is treating and filtering immigrants, Belize should. After all, we are an Independent Nation and these people have to be crime free in their country and ours, educated or seeeking Student Visas, english speaking, and financially stable. Enough of the crap from these other countries neighboring us – everyone just steps on Belize like a load of dog crap and Barrow and his Govt better wake up and smell the roses.

  6. Wake Up says:

    Agreed with everyone who basically said we should/must take care of born (at least 4 generations, before I consider anyone Belizean) first.

    Only thing Guatemala and Honduras and Mexico are more advanced than us is in crime!

    This is just another 20,000 voters for Barrow; that’s it. Stop making this sick people take you for fools; Barrow has a smooth tongue; but no substance; and he intentionally try to insult Belizean’s intelligence.

    Only Allah will set us free from tyrants like these. Wake Up People.
