  1. The sovereignty of Antigua is being diminished law after law Cabinet discussion after Cabinet discussions.

    The privilege of a native is being eroded by Antiguans by making non citizens equal to a native.

    A foreigner can work continually while a qualified Antiguan remains unemployed.

      • @ Just saying

        Whenever I review the history of slavery I often wonder how could it have happened.

        Now I am living it seeing it before me. It was done through legislation. Remember slavery was a legal act.

        Look at the pass imagine the future and examine the present.

        Research BLUE LAWS and JIM CROW laws and let’s talk myopic…..

    • Maybe the qualified antiguan isn’t fit for the specific job… There are so many reasons why the qualified person didn’t get the job how is that the foreigner fault… With ur statement I would hope that no one in your family lives outside antigua and is working in someone else’s country or do you just have a problem when the person has no relation to you?

    • Question to you; If you rent house(you being a landlord) and your tenant(a non national) working at one place for 3 years, doing everything right, following the law,paying their car loan, paying their rent(to you)– tell me why that person should not have his/her work-permit renewed?

    • Maybe a native Antiguan should invest in his future by educating and qualifying himself to be competitive than seat and wait for a hotel job. It is funny how Antiguans expect equal treatment when they migrate to the US yet met that treatment to others.

    • The country is being destroyed! The ALP is importing people who have destroyed their own countries. Guyana is one big race riot, Jamaicans and Dominicans are killing each other for fun, and the Chinese are torturing their own people. The only way to preserve our peace and tranquility is to send them all home.

    • You’ll have a problem with every dam thing-no wonder covid-19 ravishing the World,Men have evil and bad minded hearts.Dont we(Antiguan’s) work when we go the US/UK etc? .. This Administration is the best this nation has seen in its modern history.Get over it..

  2. We all black people come from Africa ship to the Caribbean we were scattered all over our ancestors so no black person should call a black person foreigner period

    • If you think this was done to accommodate Caribbean people think again.

      This is to accommodate the Philippinos, Chinese, middle eastern etc nothing to do with Caribbean people. Keep your ears to the ground.

  3. @Pan Africa. Go Barbados, Trinidad and Jamaica and say that and see how fast they kick you out. Not to mention DR. Why use this Africa thing to make Antigua the dumping ground for the poor of tge Caribbean and elsewhere? On a micro scale, would you do that at your own house?

  4. The number of foreigners living in Antigua is around (30,000) the number of Antiguans living abroad is around (50,000). Don’t pick on the people that want to be here.

    • Thank you .. this folks really out here acting like antiguans don’t migrate for work 🤣🤣🤣 it’s really funny tbh… Half them if they got the opportunity to do so would in a heartbeat… I tell you bout ppl… They have people in the family living and working abroad.. but coming on here and playing like everyone travel for work but antiguans 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

    • And how much Antiguans are in Jamaica Guyana Dominica and other Caribbean countries living and working when Antiguans migrate they go to bigger countries not small countries that is over populated like little Antigua and all those other Caribbean countries looks out for their ppl first Antigua government in power don’t

  5. The number of foreigners living in Antigua is around (30,000) the number of Antiguans living abroad is around (50,000). Don’t pick on the people that want to be here.

  7. Antiguans are on the bread line because of COVID 19 and the top priority of the ALP is jobs for foreigners. No work permits should be renewed, and these people should be sent home. All available jobs should go to indigenous Antiguans. Where is the Leader of the Opposition???
