Not surprising when in the US, every person of African descent is considered to be Jamaican, most popular non-Caucasian country in US.

It has been my experience that in order to benefit off the popularity and/or notoriety of Jamaicans..... many of our West Indian cousins pretend to be Jamaican in the USA.
Don't be surprised if the number of Jamaicans to be deported decreases when a few wanabees are discovered to be Trini, Bajan, Guyanese or even Nigerian.

I knew this guy that is from US Virgin Islands (St Thomas) said he was doing time for drugs and when the time was up, they were processing him to ship to Jamaica, said most of his time in jail he spent with Jamaicans.

I guess whether good or bad we seem to be always in the majority. Same in cases of the number of minority law students and medical students, Jamaicans lead the way, so I guess the same among prison populations.

The BIG question / Concern is what and how the Holiness government is going to
deal with these people ..5k is a huge number especially if they are returning with no
housing ,not to mention jobs for them

Did anyone read the document in the link? It’s a list of people subject to deportation, but not in custody. So it predates Trump. One thing that was really puzzling to me was that the USSR is listed as one of the countries. Seems like that list has been around forever or some of the people on the list have been there forever.

It’s so embarrassing and condescending to watch Duffy, new US Transportation Secretary and also the incoming FBI Director all pandering to Trump.
Now Trump blaming diversity in the DEI for the accident , then switched to blaming the helicopter pilot without proof.

Yes, I noticed that point, I was telling a friend just yesterday that a figure of 15000 would not surprise me, i.e. people who are here illegally but not yet ordered to leave.

It's the opposite, Jamaicans have been using T&T passports for ages, so much so T&T was warned to adress the problem or face visa requirements to enter the UK. Why would a Trini or anyone with a stronger passport want a Jamaican passport, that's not how it works in real life, sorry .

That seems a sure bet
Those tagged as criminals should be of
major concern and may have options reduced and could pose problems on the local scene.
Hope not.

they are a certain stigma associated with people carrying a certain passport from certain countries and in the caribbean jamaica and for the last few years trinidad that customs authorities pay special attention to .considering jamaicans need a visa to go to the uk and america that can be checked right away to tell who is from where

Jamaicans call themselves Jamaicans no matter what passport they have.
Why would a Jamaican call himself a trini and then have to explain to persons outside the Caribbean that Trinidad is not another parish in Jamaica?

Hope it resonates with bravos.

As a Trini in Hingland I wudda pass that Jamaican/lingo test easy.I have been told on 3 ocassions that I sound like Bob Marley,once in a Bank, Jamaican bloke behind me said ,he could have sworn it was Bob Marley voice he was hearing when I was talking to the Teller.
The truth is I am not trying to "put it on",sometimes some people ask If I am Muddie.
