Jamaican journalist expelled from Grenada??

16 02 2008
When I read this article I had to laugh:
Now let me just say that this is why I truly believe the CSME is a very serious joke! Under the CSME professionals are supposed to be able to move around from island to island without let or hindrance. I should be able to take up a job offer anywhere in the 15 member states without this type of thing happening. But this is not to be in Grenada. Now let me say that I believe that the average Jamaican has no use for the CSME or its principles. Why? Because when a Jamaican says they “gawn a foreign” it isn’t south of Jamaica for the most part. I have travelled to several Caribbean islands south/east of Jamaica and once you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. I have never given it a serious thought to pack my grip and head to anywhere like Grenada, so why treat the woman like this? To start with she is a professional and to finish, I doubt highly she was looking to set up house down there. And to show you how a simple error could cost you a criminal record, there was the misreading of the “get out of here” date. She read it as August 2, 2008 while the immigration officer meant 8th February, 2008. Oh how funny that is! But alas, it seems that one has to get some certificate to prove that they are a “skilled worker” and deserving of being on other Caribbean soil on legitimate business. Well BOO to you Grenada! I have never been to you and I certainly won’t be seeking work on your shores! Also, the type of Jamaicans that they seem to want to attract are more interested in the North American lifestyle….we left country a long time ago!
