UPP\u2019s Bowen Says U.S. Visa Restrictions Crush Dreams of Young Antiguans<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opposition United Progressive Party MP and deputy leader Sherfield Bowen<\/a><\/strong> said new U.S. visa restrictions<\/a> have shut the door on opportunities that once allowed determined Antiguans to study, work and build lives abroad, calling the development a national tragedy.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In remarks posted on Observer on Wednesday, Bowen contrasted his own journey four decades ago<\/a> with the prospects facing young people today.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cForty years ago, on a morning like this, I had a dream of becoming a Lawyer and an Accountant<\/a>,\u201d he said, recalling his decision to go to the United States \u201cwithout money and without any support whatsoever\u201d and work to achieve that goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bowen said that path is no longer available to others. \u201cForty years later, I cry for many others, similarly situated, with similar dreams and resolve, but as of 12:01am this morning, can no longer entertain that dream,\u201d he said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He accused the government of damaging the country\u2019s international standing, arguing that Antigua and Barbuda has effectively placed itself on what he described as a U.S. \u201cbanned countries list.\u201d Bowen used sarcastic language to criticize Prime Minister Gaston Browne, adding, \u201cWhat an achievement Mr. World Boss!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bowen said the consequences extend beyond elite travel, affecting ordinary citizens seeking first-time visas to visit family, pursue education or employment, or travel for tourism. \u201cNo longer can today\u2019s young person\u2019s harbor the American dream,\u201d he said, listing destinations and experiences he said are now out of reach.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He also criticized the Citizenship by Investment Programme, saying it has undermined confidence in the country\u2019s passport. \u201cOur precious passport has now become worthless,\u201d Bowen said, asserting that multiple jurisdictions no longer respect it and describing the programme as a \u201cgolden calf\u201d now \u201con life support.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bowen said his concern was not for the investment programme itself, but for young Antiguans. He said their aspirations for education, health care, travel and work in the United States have been \u201csuddenly ignited into a ball of fire.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAntigua and Barbuda, I cry for thee,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
