DEAR EDITOR:
This letter is to highlight an issue that is occurring on the small island of Barbuda, and no one seems to care. I am a born Antiguan living in Barbuda for almost a year and a supporter of a government that is wrapped tightly around PLH fingers.
I was employed by a local Antiguan contractor who was contracted by an overseas company based at PHL in Barbuda. Approximately three months ago, the local company was let go, which caused me and several other locals to be out of a job, and unable to support our families while the same US company is importing Mexican and Belizean workers who are working without work permits and not paying the necessary tax deductions.
Just a few days ago, I heard the Hon. Gaston Browne give an eloquent speech on the national TV station ABS, boasting about PHL providing employment for locals. Prime Minister, what you need to look into is all the incompetent Mexicans and Belizeans PHL bringing into the country to replace your local people who are way better, all because of cheap labor.
The impression PHL and the government giving the people of Antigua and Barbuda is that PHL is so for the locals, but little by little, the locals are getting pushed out.
John

3 responses to “LETTER: Mexicans and Belizeans taking over BARBUDA”
The leader of ALP is extremely churlish and dangerous. He has a strong dislike ment for Barbudans and he would stop at nothing to crippled Barbudans.
It is without a doubt the Mexicans and Belizans were brought to Barbuda to marginalised Barbudans, which evidently is working, over a period of time those economic migrants will have the right to vote and guess what, Gaston’s migrants coupled with the Barbudans who are loyal to corruption will out numbered the party for transparency and good governance.
Barbudans should let their voices be heard and stage campaigns against the corruption of the ALP.
This person sounds disgruntled because of being out of a job. There are many Mexicans working in Barbuda, mostly employed by one of the US-based contracting companies, and all have work permits and pay the relevant statutory obligations. There are also hundreds of local people working for the varying Local contractors in Barbuda. There is a labor shortage in the construction industry in Barbuda because not every local construction person from Antigua wants to go to Barbuda to work. The environmental/Climatic conditions in Barbuda can be daunting/harsh at times. (Sand Flies, Mosquitoes, very hot conditions etc)
Nonsense@Chronix, the author aptly expressed the harsh reality of the evil being committed against them by the leader of ALP.
I do agreed that conditions in Barbuda can be unbeatable, but if the Mexicans and Belizans can endure, what can’t Antiguans. In addition, I know many Barbudans who cannot get work on many of the project being developed in Barbuda and it’s not for lack of trying, but rather they are being sidelined.
