    Whatever. He is just a big mouth who, like the rest of them, feel that they have or deserve more rights than proper Antiguans & Barbudans. The only culture they care about is their own, and their only goal is to use Antigua as a stepping stone to access Northern countries. They disgust me. And the politicians give them the world because they want their votes. What the government should be doing is to hunt them down and round them up like how ICE does in the USA.

      what a foolish thing to say. although i understand your frustration wanting human beings to be hunted down by I.C.E and be stripped of their rights is utterly insane. Antiguans flooding other countries, don’t you think they have the same form of entitlement and receive the same siding with government

    If they cared so much why don’t they initiate and lead Spanish language courses and integration activities? Because they don’t care about true integration or local culture.
