Carribean roots? What a joke!
What do his roots have to do with excusing criminal behaviour?
thats a nice thing Mr governor now they can see how close they have come
Send their .. back if they cannot behave themselves in the people`s country.
for real
Mr Governor thanks for remembering your roots.
giving them a second chance to reconsider.
the funny thing is even if u have green card and u try to naturalize the immigration dep’t can still weigh whether to deport u or not lol, this is just to save ur skin from being deported right now, so if u have G.C be satisfied with it, going for naturalization is just bringing the radar to u again, or n yeah don’t pass through puerto rico nah, take ur flight directly from bridgetown to j.f.k on jet blue!!!!! once u in N.Y u have a fighting chance, God bless Nuevo York!!!!!!
Keep your caribbean roots alive.
Way to go Governor Paterson!!!!
