Disgusting
Let me tell you all something let go all of them they would just add to the huge number that are already here. Those immigration can't find because they don't care about cleaning up the territory. Let them go the territory is a free for all. Why waste police time to go searching for illegal immigrants when they could be doing something else to try to protect the people of the territory. Wasting time energy and resources including personal.
Government, govenor, police and immigration need to have a serious meeting and find ways to clamp down on this type of activities that are costing the territory. You all know rat minding cheese a longtime and can't seem to get this mess handle. I mean all over the world this problem exist but BVI is to slack so we are going to end up with all types of people the good, bad and the ugly. If you think we are getting better on crime well let's wait and see.
Since the powers that be can't keep them safe then you must find a quicker way to repatriate them back to their home land. Method we are using may be to slow. Or build a proper detention center in 2 months it should be completed just like the high school. Warning don't use blocks use strictly concrete. You must use a drill, chisel or Jack hammer to break out the building. If they get away from that type of detention for sure you would need to employ a military task force to secure the premises.
BVI playing the fool.
She already ST Thomas heard her boy friend came and got her he paid the g***s 3000.00 to turn a blind eye.
