  1. “Utter Madness!”

    Foreign criminals are running riot; thousand of Antiguans are on the bread line, and the ALP is going to give illegals amnesty? Antigua done…

  2. LOL I must admit this might get the MOUSTACHE a few hundred or a few thousand votes . Keep digging in the barrel I wonder what else he could pull out . Hmm Anything to stay in power I see .

  3. The country has enough poverty and crime.

    THIS IS AN EXTREMELY BAD IDEA AND MUST BE TAKEN OFF THE TABLE AT ONCE LET IT REMAIN A THOT.

    Please allow Immigration to do their work without interference.

    THIS IS NOT A LONG TERM VISION OR PLAN IT IS SHORT SIGHTED AND MUST NOT HAPPEN
    Enough is enough you dont see they do not care about the laws of the land you had a two year amnesty before enough is enough

  4. Cheap political points he likes to utter, would that move be an expensive political points?
    To remain in power what else would he do? I am not against people living here but we must have proper measures in place not just because election is near and he want votes to play and prey on the mind of the people, pampering to get votes just like he tried to pamper the barbudans to get votes.
    This man does nothing unless he is going to benefit most, deceptive intentions no genuineness in his actions

  5. Lol. Wait isnt this “man” thinking of a 110 million IMF loan. we need a proper immigration policy we have enough of un educated and unskilled from the Caribbean. After all we are an economic powerhouse

  6. Why take it to Cabinet? When it is what you say that goes. When this blows up into your face. Let us all blame Cabinet. ONE MAN CABINET !!

  7. World dictator traitor tyrant liar spewing pure shit out of his mouth again. What about Mehul Choksi?

    His underhanded unscrupulous deals will come back to haunt him for the rest of his wutless life.

  8. PM you are on the right track going in the right direction……. Its not a bad idea….. There are many of these illegal immigrants who are evading our tax nets like Social Security, Medical Benefits etc…. Granting them an amnesty should only be done if they become registered at these establishments either as an employee or self employed.

  9. Grant amnesty to people who live here legally over 7 yrs and have been paying the fair share of contributions in taxes. I know ppl who lived here over 10yrs legally and cant get citizenship because they didn’t pay previous amnesty for gaps in their passport, yet others lived less than the required 7, waving around Antigua passport

  10. NO …HELL NO….GASTON PLEASE RECONSIDER THIS FOOLISHNESS……LET THEM GO TO THEM BIG ISLANDS .

    NO NO NO

  11. Trying to win votes at the next election. I think that our small islands have enough people some of whom are hardened criminals living here. I think that they should be deported instead of giving them amnesty. It should not be.allowed.
