  1. Of course, they are not going to want to leave Antigua.

    They can’t get to the United States (as they originally wanted to) and no other Caribbean country wants them.

    Only the idiots gaston and his cabal can’t see.

  2. So, the Africans(broke barefoot tourists, refugees, terrorists, mercenaries, Guerrillas) are deciding what laws of the Nation of Antigua, Barbuda & REDONDA they’re going to abide by?

    Let’s just take the HUE out of the equation, what would the reaction(s) be, if they were from Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Nicaragua?

    This is beyond absurd! PERIOD!
    And, please use the “sister/brother’ rhetoric as toilet tissue. The feeling would be the same, if they were Pink, white, Browne, purple, blue black, charcoal biack.

  3. @ we ready; you are on point. The government brought refugees here… ofcourse they will choose the only option available to them. But don’t think for a min that they will try again on another boat to get to the united states…. these people are persistent…

  4. If this government wins the next election then we are really dense as a people.

    • @ Dr, this government has just been returned to office for only three months and look at the problems they have caused:

      1) Cost of living is higher than a kite on Devils Bridge

      2) The ABLP are trying to gaslight Antiguans on their involvement in bringing the Africans here

      3) Gun crime and rape is on the rise

      4) And let us not forget the missing bodies and the tragic deaths of the Africans trying to get to America

      LOOK DEY, THREE DAMN MONTHS OF NEGLECT AND ACCOUNTABILITY – AND AUTOCHTHONOUS ANTIGUANS HAVE 4-5 MORE YEARS OF THESE CRETINOUS CRETINS!!! 😖
