    That’s the way to do it. They come here with their dirty ways reeking havoc on the Territory. Most of them come here after they have committed crimes in their homelands or running from the other criminals in their homelands that is going to get them when they get them when they step off the plane.

      Truth, most of them have committed crimes in their Country and they run here because Tortola is the free for all Island. When the UK and America deport them, they get gun down within a day. two years ago, they deport a Jamaica from NYC and the Jamaican was pleading, crying and begging the agents not to send him back because they were going to kill him once he land in Jamaica. It goes back to when you are in another man’s Country follow the rules and stay low.

    Not one white. Whenever someone white goes to prison the Governor always pardon them and exempt them from deportation.

      The whites is not coming here robbing, gunning down, raping and reeking havoc on the Island. If Someone from another Island come to the BVI and they respect the laws of the land and be productive they are welcome. If they come here and cause problems, they simply need to go.
  • Did Weekes completed his time for murder? (29/06/2023, 16:06) Like (10) Dislike (9) Reply
    I hope that he has done whatever time the court has given him. To deport him is one thing, but he has to pay for his crime.

    It would be a travesty of justice if he is just deported without completing his time, and no continuation of his incarceration to wherever he came from. That would be like he got an out of jail free card.

    The governor himself needs to be deported. He was caught lying on signing the DEA papers to set up the head coach. And trying his best to make Frandie Martin case disappear, protecting his white criminal brother.

    How the governor deport ppl out of a territory that does not belong to them. It's one of the greatest offense that they murder ppl take over their lands and telling who yo go where and when. These are the greatest of all criminals that need God will deal with that still uphold their wickedness

    All of them not from here that are in prison should be deported never to return! Let their countries deal with their own rats. Of course, the ones from here must do their time to pay for their crimes.

      This was a nice peaceful place to live. People was living in peace. As soon as they start letting certain people(s) in the place started to decline. In the village I was born in and raised, you feel like a stranger., most of the faces living in the village you don’t even know who they are.

        I could remember Tortola peaceful years, people had guns illegally as today. But the time they said they stop hanging things just get to the worst where people are acting out their judgement on someone else life.

    The government is lacking and responsible to do a criminal background check on everyone who wants to enter to work. Let them apply and leave as though they are tourists only until there is a positive report on them. If a bad report comes back, then we won't have to deport them because they are not living here. This is so simple to do. What are the ones in charge doing except sitting on their backsides and collecting a paycheck? The problem now is they have let so many in and don't know where they are.
