The Prime Minister of Barbados, David Thompson recently announced a policy which is geared at granting illegal immigrants who entered Barbados before 31st December 2005 and who have been living in Barbados for at least eight years the ability to be granted amnesty under specific circumstances.  What are the implications for Caribbean nationals and the integration movement on the whole?  Should other Caribbean territories move towards the implementation of similar policies?  Is this simply a measure geared at self preservation by the Barbadian government?

The implications are the same as it is here in the US. One cannot work legally in the US unless they have the proper credentials or were of course born there. So for Barbados and other islands I also think that if you were not born there you should be held accountable for working there and also you should pay taxes. If the citizens have to pay taxes why not you.

I am not sure how stringent these laws will be( lets hope its not as ridiculous as the ones here in US), But something needs to be put in place. Maybe there should be different levels or categories such as students or professionals studying. But lets not be naive to the fact the people run from their caribbean islands because they are in trouble with the law and this poses a threat to these other countries. Will they be able to get this under control right away?.. NO but will other countries follow suit?... YES

You are so right. Here in NYC immigrant are owners of 52% of the businesses. And that just a count of the legal business we engage in. The black market economy of NYC is also thriving hub immigrants.
