On the other hand, if the family you invite are hostile, with habits and behaviours that are incompatible with those of your family, trouble lies ahead.

In the UK, The Reform Movement promises to deport millions of migrants, especially Moslems from Pakistan and Afghanistan, who are seen as socially and culturally incompatible to the British way of life.

The most popular Female Commentator in the Virgin Islands stated recently in regard to Virgin Islands migration that ‘’ not putting safeguards in place create a nightmare.’’ She further asserted that ‘’ the territory has lost grasp of its borders and policies.

She described the territory’s social infrastructure as overburdened. ‘’ You are bringing them in. You know they cannot afford private school. Where are they going? The public system.’’ She is right.

Uncontrolled migration is a slap in the face of the children and youth of the Virgin Islands.

We all stress concern for the plight of our Virgin Islands youth. We claim they cannot find work. They end up on scooters as soldiers for the drug cartels, dying young or spending years incarcerated in Balsam Ghut.

Then there are the young women who cannot find husbands because Virgin Islands men are in strip bars mingling with migrants from specific countries, even marrying some of these women.

However, the most dangerous migrants are those who infiltrate the community to form parallel communities, forming their own businesses and community groups. We know that culture well in the Virgin Islands. Specific groups who want to isolate and lead a separate existence. This is what is happening in the UK. It is leading to increasing social tensions on the streets.
