for work. Our College is wonderful, and then most will be moving further afiield in two years time. So part time work is important to assist with the tuition for their four year degree.
I don't know if our politicians are really understanding the issues being experienced in this country. We have an open and come policy where now that Festival is over, there are some fresh visitors busy looking for work. And this after they told the Immigration they are coming for a two-week vacation. Nobody at Labour or Immigration are looking at this state of affairs. Our students are filling our two-year college. I am so happy to see that. Now, please allow them to find work part time in their country. And those who are looking for full time work because they need to assist on the home front and will start next year, they should be considered first. Please, consider and look into this Labour and Immigration. Make a call for the students and persons seeking work to come and put their names down so that you can place them in some of these entry level positions. Everyday I see a new face. Nothing wrong with persons travelling to our shore. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, but at the same time, Virgin Islanders and Belongers are seeking work and deserves first dibs. This is imperative. Not all our young men want to work the midnight shift or sit down and do nothing, but at the same time I know several who applied six and seven places and not even a call back to acknowledge receipt of their applications. Why? Because someone on the inside has a cousin or a friend that they can bring. Put our people first. They are at home. No reciprocity. If they cannot find work at home, they cannot go to Phillipines the lower Caribbean or anywhere else to find it.
