Yes, it is proving all but impossible to resolve and would anger so many people if the Uighers were to be granted status, but at least our Premier is telling us the truth and adopting a common sense approach to solving the problem as he continues talks with both the UK and US. On this issue I give him an “A” for effort.

And don’t expect Ewart to kick in and help them with his own money, or Burch. When have we ever seen them do anything philanthropic? Never. They were only ever in it for themselves.

Too bad the individuals responsible cannot be billed for the cost.

Put ‘em on the next cruise ship back to America and see what happens when they get there! Can’t send ‘em back as they don’t have any Bermuda paperwork!

It’s chicken and egg at the moment. The current British law cannot give them citizenship unless the Bermuda law can give them the right to remain indefinitely and only then after they’ve been here 5 years. The current Bermuda law (and immigration policy) has no way of giving them the right to be here indefinitely (i.e. PRC) so they’re going to be stuck between a rock and an ocean until either Bermuda or the UK change their law.

It’s unlikely the UK will make a change to their law to accomodate the Uighurs so it’s squarely back in Bermuda’s court. To allow them indefinite stay in Bermuda would require a change of law and of course that will open up a different can of worms altogether. It has been rightly stated that many have been asked to leave our shores despite having been here for many years (20+) and contributing to the community as a whole.

And the hot potato keeps changing hands.

They must have been told to get off for a reason. If they were living in any Country other then Bermuda, what do you think would happen? Give me a break if it was so bad here why so many people want to stay. In what other places in the World people say good morning to you as you walk down the street? Try doing that on a Bus or street in the USA, people would look at you strange. If you a male and you F#k up you have to leave. Get the facts correct women that are married to Bermudians are protected, Immigration can’t remove them.

Dear Uighurs, do not be upset by the way Bermudians are acting in regards to the possibility of status. The whole status issue is due to the disrespect and wrongful treatment the former government showed to people who have lived here their entire lives and were forced to leave.

I think you should ask Ewart Brown to handle this situation personally. Do not blame Bermuda or Bermudians. Blame Ewart and his goof troop.

I am sorry for what is happening to you guys

Plenty of Brits out there who have been kicked off the island and not received status. This will lead to “Ultra Violent reprocutions” be careful Bermuda

You are nothing but a self centered piece of S*%#
