    Hello and good morning my people. Many of the people that are being deported are accused of committing some sort of crime or even traffic infractions. Many of those people are committing problems in Trinidad and Jamaica therefore the countries should refused to accept them. Just tell America that they learned their criminal behavior in America so you have to keep them.
    There’s one guy who they deported to Dominica from Florida and he’s now accused of burglarizing my Aunt home while she was in her home sleeping.

    The U$A requires money to enter, so many of those who do are thugs. Honest farmers and workers are kept out.

    I can’t imagine living in a country where you are always having to look over your shoulders and hoping your luck does not run out.

    This should mean that Dominicans are not running away from their homeland, as the critics would like us to believe, or else why would it only 16 of us who got caught in the act for the whole of 2019–especially after Hurricane Maria in 2017?

    If somebody is deported from the US, could they still run for public office in Dominica? For example, can they be the parliamentary representative for Roseau Central?
