These people who are been deported from Antigua are lucky for the treatment the got. Some one very close to me was deported from Antigua and she was send to prison for over staying her time in the country. she stayed one week in prison and then send back.

Wunna real throwin words for Bim, but look a how wunna getting manhandle every place else?

Must be something….. hmmm….

I don’t feel the woman should be separated from the children. But it is unclear if the father was petitioning for custody or what. Also, the woman says she did not mind going home. Which is untrue, or else she would have gone before or gone voluntarily. If you go by yourself, you are not considered deported and can collect your things and your children and go. So why she chose deportation?

Also, the US does separate people and children. As the man said, they are citizens of the State and the State can choose to protect them if they feel they will be harmed or mistreated elsewhere.

i was about to comment that the antiguans could show the bajans how things are done in that they gave the woman time to collect her personal things but what crap! since when does having different nationalities from your children any right to separate a mother from her children?

This is total nonsense. Even in the US, when someone in being deported, they are allowed to take their children. This woman made an enemy at the court and in being punished.

Thanks for taking a glimpse at how “Foreigners” as called, are treated in Antigua. To think a lot of people only think it happens in Barbados…

Is there anyone petitioning the court to keep the children???

So Y would a judge separate children form a mother? Should this have been a family court decision rather than an immigration judge?

That is nonsense! How can they separate the woman from her children? Ok if they want to send her home, them send her but don’t take her children away from her. I guess that magistrate does not have any children their own. Do they know how it is to be separated from your children? This life is crazy.
