Letter of the Day | Deportation hosting deal exposes Ja’s hypochrisy
THE EDITOR, Madam:
The draft memorandum of understanding between Washington and Kingston deserves far more scrutiny than it has received. Reports indicate that the Holness administration has engaged in — indeed, may have initiated — talks to accept up to 10,000 non-Jamaican foreign nationals deported from the United States under a Third-Country National framework. In plain terms, Jamaica is being positioned as a subcontracted holding zone for America’s deportation apparatus.
