For the last couple of days Immigration has been sweeping the north construction sites and rounding up the workers who are here illegally. I’m not sure just what they are doing with them but this is good news.
This afternoon there was a check point at the bridge and they were checking the people who were crossing.
I’m hopeful that this is something the local politicians and police can agree on.

There was a checkpoint at Mosquito Coast as well.

IMO -they should also do a sweep of the schools=we have way too many illegals on this island and we should only educate the legal children on this island

Arent you a little ray of sunshine...

Brussel, I do believe Pedro's comment is what is commonly refered to as sarcasm.

Harriette, if all the illegal construction workers are rounded up, who is going to do the work? and at what price?

If all the illegal people were paying for work permits, they would not be illegal and then we would have all the money needed to educate all the children. Problem solved.

Amazing insight here. Who would have known it is okay to break the immigration laws of the country of Belize, so long as one is willing to work for sub-standard wages in the field of construction, and live in an equally sub-standard 'house'. Do we really need those pesky visas?

So, Melquiades had two friends?

They also have picked up illegal expats that own businesses.
