Cayman Net News: How long will we have to put up with this situation?

How long will we have to put up with this situation?

Reader comments:

Mr. Bodden, to arrest a political refugee is a violation human rights. There are other ways of solving this problem. Also, is there really a pattern in this problem? Is this pattern really being repeated so often? Twice maybe, but not so often. Something should be done, I agree. But I don't consider your suggestions to be the best solution; do I read a slight tone of racism? - Tracey
Now there's a hoot! Someone is concerned about a serious situation that is escalating, and that old standby of "racism" raises its ugly head. This is not based on "racism". In the first place, who says they are political refugees? That has to be determined by Immigration, and so far most of these Cubans make it clear that they are "transients", looking for a handout, then they are on their way. On their way where? To illegal entry into yet another country, after entering the Cayman Islands illegally. They are no different than the thousands of Mexicans who daily make a scramble to enter the U.S. illegally across the borders. There is a legal way for one and all to apply to enter another country, and honest law-abiding people follow that method every day, while others just force their way in, and involve themselves in criminal activity to get the funds. The Cayman Islands coffers were cleaned out once before because of this situation. If it is encouraged we will be heading that way fast again - Anonymous
