      She/He already fled to the border. But no joke, someone on the inside is helping these people escape. But, that is what you guys get for keep putting them up in Hotel. Who put illegal detainees in Hotels. Someone is making money off these people.

      Even if I see the person, I am not saying anything, why? because it is not my problem. I am not doing the immigration job that they are getting paid to do.

    Why y'all don't let the ppl go where they're going. They're not coming to BVI. Or send them back home. Just causing taxpayers money by keeping them here.

      You are so right. I understand over 20 ppl staying in hotel. Some of them over 4 month plus meals. That’s at least $35 - 40.000.00 per month Gov’t is paying the hotel.
      This money could have build a simple detention center or better still could have paid some charter flights and send them home !!!!

    Location need changing?
    OR

    • hmmm (21/05/2022, 06:19) Like (6) Dislike (0) Reply
      Food for thought:
      1. Change both the location & the security company
      2. Repatriate them immediately
      3. Let them walk free and become members of society
      or
      4. Assist them getting to their finally destination

      Agree with you. Deport them right away according to nationalities. Every other country does that. Why can't BVI follow suit?
  • let go (20/05/2022, 20:13) Like (7) Dislike (3) Reply
    Please release the rest of them give them status because the BVI seems to be the right place to drop them for easy detention then easy escape into society. What a wicked nation daylight soon catch up with you all. What goes under the horse back must come on top. Fighting for survival into the hands of the wicked. Better you let the people go. This little nation to corrupt.

    No matter where they are housing prisoners, it is the fault purely of the security company, who are doing a lousy job.

    A Haitian transgender person is loose in the BVI. Let's panic, close the borders, put the entire BVI on lock down, call up Wade's JTF with the vicious dogs, machine guns, black boots and search every yacht and building in the BVI until this DANGER to BVI society is captured and deported to somewhere else. This unarmed Haitian lady could be a witch, voodoo priest or the devil herself out to steal the souls of helpless residents living in fear. Forget UK direct rule the evil spirits from the underworld are now among us to lead us into hell forever. The only hope for salvation is to run to your local church and give all your money to the Pastors who can use these resources to fight the threat from their villas in Mustique island near St. Vincent.

    Everyday expats screaming about how bad they are being treated yet the BVI is the only place that give illegals accomodation in four star hotel and set them free. In four years those expats will scream for status and a seat in Government.

      Years? Shut up and just get to work. In reality you’re waiting for anyone else to do everything. Talk talk talk talk, with authority. And what would you build it with? The government had better things to do with All the money. BVI broke. Everything around Broke. All systems broke. STOP already with the dumb stuff.

    Enter the Territory illegal, get caught, placed in a nice hotel and head for the hills or the border, piece of cake with icing on top. That is why they keep coming because they know how easy it is. Anywhere else, you get caught they process you and you are back on a plane within hours out of the Country.
