Somehow, I suspect there were 4 Bermudians willing and able to take the 4 jobs that were offered to the Quighars 2 weeks ago. Funny how the Minister mentions about Bermudians who WANT to work, and yet you saw fit to bypass them to supply jobs to men who shouldn’t be here to begin with. Ohhhhh, reopended the can of worms. Ahhhh to hell with it…..

Mmmmm maybe you are right canadianLuv. Never thought of that. Its been almost 2 years now and I have talked to other Ministers and the social insurance dept about this situation and all they tell me is that I need not worry because all Govt. benefits are safe….. yeah right! Even the insurance inspectors at the Social Insurance dept were no help.

The land license; what is the purpose for it? To track Non- Bermudians in a relationship with Bermudians like animals? Sounds like a cash grab.
This Disgusts me and is wrong on so many different levels! Human Rights!!???
AND
“The issue of guest workers in the various sectors of the workforce who have difficulty understanding Basic English has for many years often been a vexing topic amongst locals and residents alike.”-> Why not implement an English speaking test like other countries? ESL testing centers are located all over the world. All guest workers must have their scores/ results prior to applying for employment, now that’s an idea!

Well I wonder if the government will actually go through with the criminal prosecutions of these persons, I remember a time that I worked for a company and when they made me redundant I discovered that they had not paid any social insurance/pensions for me the entire time that I worked for them.(but deducted the funds from my salary each month) Emailed Minister Burch and todate nothing was ever done about it. In actual fact this company should have been charged with theft!
