From the Associated Press: The United States on Monday reached a deal with Dominica to start sending foreigners seeking U.S. asylum to the small Caribbean nation.
Dominica’s Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit described the deal as “one of the primary areas of collaboration” after the country was recently hit with partial U.S. visa restrictions. Dominica’s government has been in talks with U.S. officials to try to resolve the U.S. entry limitations.
Skerrit did not provide any other details, including how soon the U.S. would start sending asylum-seekers to Dominica.
Skerrit said that during discussions with the U.S. State Department, “there have been careful deliberations of the need to avoid receiving violent individuals or individuals who will compromise the security of Dominica.”
The report notes that some of the tiny country’s 72,000 residents are already voicing concerns over the deal, questioning whether they have the resources to absorb the migrants into their population.
In 2024, it was announced that the Dominican Republic had started building a huge border wall between their country and Haiti, and had began returning illegal alien Haitians by the truckloads.
